Background: There is an uncertainty regarding how to optimally prevent and/or reduce pain after dental treatment on children and adolescents.
Aim: To conduct a systematic review (SR) and health technology assessment (HTA) of oral analgesics administered after dental treatment to prevent postoperative pain in children and adolescents aged 3-19 years.
Design: A PICO-protocol was constructed and registered in PROSPERO (CRD42017075589).
Article Synopsis
- - This study assessed the impact of dental treatment under general anesthesia on the oral health-related quality-of-life (OHRQoL) in children with severe dental issues, like caries or molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH).
- - Parents of children aged 3-14 completed a 49-item questionnaire before and after treatment, measuring aspects like oral symptoms, emotional well-being, and family impact.
- - Results indicated significant improvements in OHRQoL, with reductions in oral symptoms and family impact, especially notable in older children and across both age groups after treatment.
