Brief Summary

This is a qualitative study, using Grounded Theory. The aim is to deepen our knowledge about how children perceive pain in conjunction with dental treatment; tooth extractions in particular. What increases, and what decreases, the risk of children experiencing pain; and how do they perceive dental treatments where pain might occur, either as procedural pain, or postoperatively?

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Children's experiences during and after tooth extraction, and it's consequences

  After tooth extraction, on orthodontic indications, participants, 10-15 years of age, are interviewed. The interviews are transcribed and analyzed, identifying codes, which will be clustered into categories. Through different types of methods, used in Grounded Theory, core categories will be identified which together with other categories and sub-categories, will answer the question "what is all this about?".
