“…More pain was found during injection compared with during extraction. This is in agreement with other studies which have shown that injection is one of the highest ranked dental pains among both genders 11,30 .…”

“…To assess previous experience of invasive treatment, five questions were added related to dental treatment situations; 'dental injection', 'tooth drilled', 'tooth restored', 'tooth extracted', and 'experience of overall dental treatment' (Tables 3 and 4). Those questions have previously been used in a Swedish epidemiological study 11 . The child was first asked to indicate whether she ⁄ he had experienced an event and was given the alternatives yes ⁄ no ⁄ don't remember.…”

BACKGROUND. Pain following the extraction of the primary canine in children with palatally displaced canines (PDC) as an interceptive treatment has not been investigated. AIMS. To describe pain, discomfort, dental anxiety, and use of analgesics following the extraction of primary canines in children with PDC. DESIGN. Forty-four children, aged 10-13 with PDC, were included. Pain intensity, discomfort, and analgesic consumption were rated the first evening and 1 week after the extraction of the primary canine. Dental anxiety was assessed pre-extraction, using the dental anxiety scale (DAS). A matched reference group also completed the DAS. RESULTS. No significant differences were found between the study and the reference group regarding the pre-extraction assessments. Post-extraction pain and discomfort was low. The experience of the injection was graded worse than the extraction, and more pain was rated at the evening post-extraction than during the extraction. Analgesics were used only the first evening. High correlation was detected between DAS and pain during injection and extraction. CONCLUSIONS. The experience of pain and discomfort during and after extraction of the primary canines is low, despite that 42% of the children used analgesics. Therefore, appropriate analgesics and recommendation doses pre- and post-extraction should be prescribed.

“…The sense of pain is also influenced by dental anxiety, as dental anxiety is a reinforcer of pain [8]. Participants with high dental anxiety and high pain sensitivity expect and experience more pain during dental treatment [27].…”

“…There is also a strong relationship between the number of previous experiences of pain during dental treatments and dental anxiety [6]. In children, both dental fear and pain connected to dental injections is more frequently reported in girls [7, 8]. Furthermore, medical treatments or conditions, other than dental, that might have caused pain, are associated with dental anxiety, at least in children [9].…”

Dental anxiety is associated with previous distressing dental experiences, such as lack of understanding of the dentist intentions, perceptions of uncontrollability and experiences of pain during dental treatment. People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are impaired in building flexible predictions and expectations, which is very much needed during a dental visit. The aims of the study were to investigate if people with ASD have more negative dental experiences and a higher level of dental anxiety compared to a matched control group. Forty-seven adults with ASD and of normal intellectual performance, and 69 age- and sex-matched typically developing controls completed questionnaires on previous dental experiences and dental anxiety, the Dental Anxiety Scale, and the Dental Beliefs Survey. The ASD group experienced pain during dental treatments more often than the controls and 22% had repeatedly experienced being forced to dental treatment they were not prepared for, compared to 3% of the controls. A higher level of dental anxiety was reported by the ASD group. Dental treatment and methods for supporting the communication with patients with ASD need to be developed, in order to reduce the negative dental experiences and dental anxiety in people with ASD.

“…These questionnaires have been found to be reliable and with sufficient internal consistency in earlier studies. 9,[11][12][13] The baseline questionnaire was administrated after the randomization process and comprised questions about treatment motivation and expectation, pain and discomfort, and limitations in daily activities. 11 Table 1 presents the questions used at the evening after premolar extraction and at the evening after insertion of the miniscrews.…”
