“…The study showed that self-reported pain negatively impacted on the oral health related quality of life of children aged 9 to 12 years and associated with dissatisfaction with dental condition. The impact of selfreported pain on the oral health related quality of life does not differ from ndings by other authors [1,4,11,14]. In addition, children who reported dental pain had six folds' negative impact on their quality of life when compared to other participants.…”

A prevalence of 64.1% for self-reported dental pain obtained from a previous study [1], a power of 80%, con dence interval of 95% and accuracy of 3% inputted into the formula generated a minimum sample size of 982.…”

“…The prevalence of dental pain among children varies across the globe with prevalence rates as high as 64.1% documented among children aged 8 to 12 years in Nigeria [1], 47.5% reported among 8 year olds in England [4] and 33.7% among Brazilian children aged 12-13 years [2]. Factors such as socioeconomic class and demographic characteristics have been shown to in uence the occurrence and perception of dental pain [1,[5][6][7][8]. Pain of dental origin has been reported as the predominant reason for accessing dental care services among children in low resource settings [9,10].…”

“…It has negative impacts on physical, functional and psychosocial domains of oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) in children [4,11,12]. Although the impact of dental pain on the oral health related quality of life of children has been investigated, [1,[11][12][13][14][15], little is known about how dental pain affects satisfaction with dental condition among them. In addition, the relationship between the satisfaction with dental condition of children and the domains of oral health quality of life of those in pain remains under researched.…”

Background: Pain of dental origin is a major reason why school age children seek dental care in low resource settings but how it affects their oral health related quality of life and satisfaction with dental condition remains under researched. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of dental pain on oral health related quality of life as well as its association with satisfaction with dental condition of school age children in Ibadan, Nigeria. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 1006 pupils aged 9-12 years who attended randomly selected primary schools in Ibadan, Nigeria. An interviewer administered questionnaire, Child–Oral Impact on Daily Performances inventory (C-OIDP) in addition to oral examination was used to obtain data. Analysis was done with SPSS version 23 and p value < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The prevalence of self-reported dental pain was 10.2%. The mean C-OIDP score was 2.6 (±7.2) overall and 9.8 (±12.4) for pupils with pain. There was higher impact on oral health related quality of life of respondents who reported dental pain than those who did not (Mean Rank = 749.54 vs 475.4, U = 21162, Z = -12.724, p < 0.001) compared to those with and without clinically assessed pain (Mean Rank = 541.21 vs 502.97, U = 6416, Z = - 0.692, p = 0.489). Those who reported dental pain were more dissatisfied with their dental condition (OR = 7.7, CI = 5.0 – 12.0, P < 0.001) compared to those with clinically assessed dental pain (OR = 1.3, CI = 0.4 – 4.9, p = 0.687). Children with self-reported dental pain and who were dissatisfied with their dental condition reported highest odds of impairment in maintaining social contact (OR = 6.5, CI =0.7 - 58.3, p = 0.093). Conclusion:Self-reported dental pain significantly impacted the quality of life of the pupils and caused dissatisfaction with dental condition when compared to clinically assessed pain.

Acute pain among children is common, yet it may be underestimated and undertreated if the pain is not recognized. Assessing and managing pediatric pain can be complicated, and as such, measuring the prevalence of acute pain in children can be challenging. We sought to provide a consolidated review of the available data on the prevalence of commonly occurring acute pain in children in the self-care setting. An extensive literature search was performed to determine the prevalence of acute pain at multiple bodily locations in children aged between 3 months and 18 years. We considered the influence of age, sex, and sociodemographic factors on prevalence estimates. We also sought to identify some of the challenges involved in assessing and managing pediatric pain, thus shedding light on areas where there may be clinical and medical unmet needs. In general, a high prevalence of acute pain in children was detected, particularly headache, menstruation-related pain, and dental and back pain. Older age, female sex, and lower socioeconomic status were associated with increased pain prevalence. Risk factors were identified for all pain types and included psychological issues, stress, and unhealthy lifestyle habits. Owing to the heterogeneity in study populations, the prevalence estimates varied widely; there was also heterogeneity in the pain assessment tools utilized. The paucity of information regarding pain prevalence appears to be out of proportion with the burden of acute pain in children. This could indicate that clinicians may not be equipped with an optimal pain management strategy to guide their practice, especially regarding the use of developmentally appropriate pain assessment tools, without which prevalence data may not be captured. If acute pain is not accurately identified, it cannot be optimally treated.Further investigation is required to determine how the information from prevalence studies translates to the real-world setting.
