“…The prevalence of dental pain ranged from 1.33 to 87.8% (Ananthakrishnan et al 2001 ; Naidoo et al 2001 ). Sixteen publications reported a prevalence of more than 50% (Adeniyi and Odusanya 2017 ; Alzahrani 2019 ; Barreto et al 2017 ; Bashirian et al 2018 ; Dandi et al 2011 ; Van Dijk et al 2006 ; Hu et al 2018 ; Jürgensen and Petersen 2011 , 2009 ; Mishra et al 2018 ; Naidoo et al 2001 ; Oliveira et al 2018 ; Santos et al 2019 ; Shekhawat et al 2016 ; Shidara et al 2007 ; Soares et al 2015 ). Only ten studies reported a prevalence of less than 10% (Ananthakrishnan et al 2001 ; Booth et al 1992 ; Hardy et al 2018 ; Karibe et al 2015 ; Lemes et al 2015 ; Rupali et al 2010 ; Sarri et al 2012 ; Siegal et al 2004 ; Siqueira et al 2013 ; Sousa et al 2014 ) and 18 publications reported prevalence between 10 and 20% (Bastos et al 2008 ; Corrêa-Faria et al 2018 ; Dogar et al 2011 ; Du et al 2011 ; Evans et al 1995 ; Figueiredo et al 2011 ; Goettems et al 2018 ; Guskuma et al 2017 ; Kamran et al 2017 ; Kumar et al 2014 ; Lewis and Stout 2010 ; Maharani et al 2019 ; Misrohmasari et al 2018 ; Perera and Ekanayake 2008 ; Ratnayake and Ekanayake 2005 ; Treasure and Dever 1992 ; Vargas et al 2005 , 2002 ).…”

Aim We aimed to evaluate the pooled prevalence of dental pain amongst children and adolescents. Methods Studies conducted in children and adolescents up to18 years of age and where prevalence of dental is reported or calculated were included. Search was performed in four major databases from inception to June 1st, 2019. Prevalence estimate at the maximal recall for the dental pain for the individual study was used to calculate the overall pooled estimate. Results The prevalence of dental pain ranged from 1.33 to 87.8% in the included publications for quantitative synthesis (n = 97). More than half of the publications reported the lifetime prevalence of dental pain (n = 51) while few studies reported the current prevalence of dental pain (n = 3) and only one study evaluated the dental pain in the past one week. Heterogeneity was high among the included publications (Q = 49,063.12; P < 0.001; df = 96 and I 2 = 99.8; P < 0.001). Overall pooled prevalence of dental pain was 32.7 (CI = 29.6-35.9). No difference was seen with respect to the trends in prevalence of dental pain (Coefficient: 0.005; 95% CI − 0.001-0.011; P-value: 0.101). Conclusion Two out of ten children below five years, four out of ten children between 6 and 12 years and three out of ten adolescents between 13 and 18 years would have experienced pain in the past. Overall, three out of ten children or adolescents might have experienced dental pain in the past. There was no difference in the pain prevalence between male and females. Studies from Africa reported highest pooled prevalence (50.1%) with least being from Australia (20.7%). Studies from India (40.4%), China (41.3%) and Iran (42.6%) reported high pooled prevalence estimates of dental pain.

“…These findings are higher than those reported among SHCN children in Brazil (68.75%) [ 20 ], KSA (56.7%) [ 8 ], and Bangladesh (55.6%) [ 6 ]. However, they are not surprising when the prevalent nature of dental caries in Saudi Arabia is considered among SHCN and healthy children (27.4–79%) [ 5 , 7 , 18 , 22 , 31 , 32 ]. Additionally, the present study recruited a hospital-based sample of children who were seeking treatment of pain from self-recognized oral health problems, and consequently, they were expected to have poor oral health [ 14 , 24 , 33 ].…”

“…These findings are not surprising considering the greater caries experience in our population, as having more decayed teeth results in greater pain and consequently more impact on the quality of life. Another explanation would be that the children in the current study neither had problems in their verbal ability nor had an intellectual disability; hence, they should be able to express their feelings of pain or discomfort and the reasons for being upset to their caregivers very well [ 7 ].…”

“…Additionally, those children, along with the majority of SHCN children, cannot understand, assume responsibility for, or cooperate with preventive oral health practices [ 3 ]. Several studies reported poorer oral health status among SHCN children than healthy ones [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Few studies have linked dental caries with obesity in these children [ 8 ].…”

“…In Saudi Arabia, a high prevalence of dental caries (77–79%) was reported among intellectually disabled and medically-compromised children [ 5 , 7 , 18 , 22 ]. Pani et al [ 23 ] found that autistic children had reduced OHRQoL, although the impact of dental caries’ severity on their OHRQoL was not assessed.…”

This study aimed to assess the impact of dental caries’ severity, body mass index (BMI), and sociodemographic factors on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) for special health care needs (SHCN) children and the suitability of their caregivers as proxies to determine OHRQoL. This cross-sectional study recruited 107 pairs of SHCN children and their caregivers and asked them to complete a questionnaire on sociodemographic issues as well as the Arabic version of the early childhood oral health impact scale (A-ECOHIS). This was followed by a dental examination. Dental caries was measured using the dmft/DMFT index, while caries’ severity was also determined. The children’s height and weight were measured, and BMI (kg/m2) was recorded. Data were analyzed statistically using t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Poisson regression models. Our results revealed that the A-ECOHIS score was 10.93, while the OHRQoL was affected in 95.3% of children. The most-reported item was ‘pain in the teeth, mouth, or jaws’ (48.7%). By regression analysis, caries-free children (Odds Ratio (OR): 0.650) or those who had moderate caries (OR: 0.551) were less likely to have a negative impact on their OHRQoL than those with severe caries. Additionally, those whose caregivers had a maximum primary education (OR: 0.656) or whose occupation was in the health sector (OR: 0.721) were less likely to have a negative impact on their OHRQoL. Those who were ≤ 6 years old (OR: 1.188) were more likely to have a negative impact. BMI did not have a significant impact on the OHRQoL of the children. Further, we detected a significant positive correlation between children’s dmft/DMFT scores and the A-ECOHIS scores reported by the mothers. Given these variables, which included dental caries’ severity, but not BMI, and caregivers’ education level and occupation, plus the child’s age group, we found a significant impact on the OHRQoL. However, we found that mothers were better proxies for their children’s OHRQoL.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the Dental Discomfort Questionnaire (DDQ) scores in children with and without intellectual disability (ID) and to measure correlation between the total DDQ and the Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT/dmft) scores, as well as the condition of the tooth causing pain. Method: This cross-sectional study included 81 children with normal intellectual development who attended the Departments of Pediatric Dentistry at two Turkish Universities and 80 children with different levels of intellectual disability who reported dental pain in special education centers. The 12-question DDQ (Turkish version) was applied to the parents of the patients with their consent. The relationship of the DDQ scores with tha of the DMFT/dmft, dental status, and demographic data was evaluated. Results: When the DDQ scores of children with intellectual disabilities were evaluated, it was found that the majority of the answers given to the questions were statistically similar (p < 0.05) to those of children with normal cognitive level. In the questions in which “pain when eating and brushing teeth” was evaluated, a higher score was obtained, which led to an increase in the total DDQ score (p < 0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of the distribution of dental conditions (p < 0.001). When compared to the normal cognitive group, patients with mild and severe intellectual disabilities had more deep dentin caries, thoughy, frequent periapical abscess was less common in those groups (p < 0.001 and p = 0.022). There was no statistically significant relationship between DMFTscores. Conclusion: The DDQ was found to be a descriptive, functional, and easy-to-use questionnaire for children with intellectual disabilitiesin terms of detecting the presence of dental pain. No correlation was found between DMFT/dmft, dental status and DDQ scores.
