European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry, 07/27/09
van Dijk M et al. – The association between anxiety and pain as reported in the literature was explored. The specific pain expressions for individuals with Down’s syndrome and those with autism are discussed with available literature. Various pain assessment instruments for cognitively impaired children have comparable content but vary in number of items. However, none of these instruments has been tested or implemented in the dental setting. Five pain assessment instruments for children with intellectual disabilities are described in more detail and these instruments were primarily tested for postoperative children. There are only limited data available on their use in dental treatments. Suggestions for step–bystep implementation of pain assessment in dental practice are given. Further studies in dental practice are recommended to achieve optimal pain management during dental procedures in individuals with intellectual disabilities.
