Cademartori MG, et al. – A retrospective study was conducted which aimed to describe the behavior of children during tooth extraction appointments, compare it to their behavior in preceding and subsequent dental appointments, and evaluate the behavioral differences according to gender, age, type of dentition, and the reason for extraction. Findings revealed that the occurrence of uncooperative behavior was higher during the tooth extraction appointments than in the preceding and subsequent dental appointments in this sample of children treated at a dental school.
