1- Children aged between 4 to 7 years of both sexes. 2- Children with behavior rating score 2 and 3 according to Frankl's behavior rating scale.
3- Children with carious lesions indicated for pulpotomy. 4- Restorable primary lower molars.
Exclusion Criteria:
22 children For the experimental group (group 2) dental simulation game, use the dental simulation game as educational game about procedure this game includes multiple dental procedures like filling cavities, performing root canal treatments, extracting decayed teeth, and conducting orthodontic procedures for animalsAt the first visit children will play on any procedure in dental simulation game, after that the child will be shown two animals, after which they virtually do a root canal procedure. Tasks include performing a dental X-ray, anesthetizing the tooth using a syringe, drilling decayed cavity and start pulp treatment, rinsing, pulp treatment and filling the tooth, applying light cure and finally polishing the teeth . The second visit for pulpotomy procedure will be scheduled two days after first visit. Children will be managed using the TSD (Tell-Show-Do) technique
Other: dental simulation game
22 children For the control group (group 1) TSD (Tell-Show-Do) technique group, children will be managed with a verbal explanation and a friendly, non-threatening demonstration of the upcoming dental treatment. The "do" phase involved carrying out the dental procedure as per the prior explanation and demonstration.

Frankl's behavior scale
The behavior of child will be assessed before treatment, after administration of local anesthesia and finally after pulpotomy using Frankl's behavior rating scale
Time frame: behavior of child will be assessed at baseline .same visit
Venham scale
Anxiety levels of child patient will be assessed by Venham scale. First, explain to patient of all group to select most suitable face that matched with level of anxiety after administration of local anesthesia and after pulpotomy procedure done.
Time frame: anxiety of child will be assessed at baseline .same visit
Wong baker scale
Pain levels of child patient will be assessed after administration of local anesthesia and finally after pulpotomy using Wong baker scale
Time frame: pain level of child will be assessed at baseline .same visit
pulse rate
Measuring the pulse rate will be by using finger pulse oximeter before treatment, after administration of local anesthesia and at the end of pulpotomy
Time frame: vital sign of child will be assessed at baseline.same visit
