Cover Story: Our systematic review sheds light on how to predict pain and anxiety during routine dental procedures in children. This can help dental practitioners choose and provide appropriate pharmacological and/or non-pharmacological interventions to allow children to cope better with dental care. These interventions should be a priority for future research and implementation as they could help prevent the need for general anaesthesia, which is costly, resource intensive, and has associated risks of morbidity and mortality. View this paper
