Background: When it comes to reducing children's fear, anxiety, and discomfort during dental procedures, substantial local anesthetic delivery promotes adequate intervention. In the dental operatory, local anesthetic injections are the most anticipated or feared stimuli. The application of topical anesthetics, cryotherapy, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) to the oral mucosa prior to local anesthetic injections can alter pain perception in children.

Cryotherapy is widely utilized in medicine, particularly for pain management. This randomized clinical trial aimed to assess the effect of intraoral cold pack application (cryotherapy) on postoperative pain (POP) and the level of Substance P (SP) in patients with symptomatic apical periodontitis (SAP). Enrolled patients were randomly assigned to either cryotherapy or control group.

Objective: Oral cryotherapy is used to prevent the onset of oral mucositis, a common and debilitating adverse effect following cancer chemotherapy. A protective mechanism associated with oral cooling is thought to be mediated through reduced tissue microcirculation. The aim of the present study was to examine the underlying mechanism associated with oral mucosal cooling by measuring oral microcirculation and tissue oxygen saturation after cooling with ice chips (IC) and an intraoral cooling device (ICD).
