Placebo effect

 A 35 year old female patient had came to clinic for restoration of carious teeth. there were many lot of carious tooth in her oral cavity.
we have planed to do tooth no 15( FDI SYSTEM) which was more carious and as she had mild throbbing pain with respect to that teeth due to reversible pulpitis.
while excavating the caries she was not allowing to work so we have plane to work with local infiltration after giving infiltration she allowed to work . actually that was becouse of sensitivity she was not allowing to work becouse the caries was deep. A nice cavity preparation done and zinc oxide euginol pack was given as it was too deep.
meanwhile we have decided to remove caries from one more time as next appointed patient had not yet come.
tooth no 25( FDI SYSTEM) which was not that deep as previous one still she was complaining of sensitivity and does not allow to work. WHAT I DID IS....I TOLD HER I NEED TO GIVE LOCAL INFILTRATION FOR THIS TEETH ALSO....AND SHOWED HER SYRINGE AND JUST TAKEN IN ORAL CAVITY AND PUT IT BACK..........The PLACEBO effect worked and she allowed to do cavity preparation smoothly ( G. V BLACKS CLASS II  as there was proximal caries).
