Pain was assessed using one behavioral, faces, legs, activity, cry and consolability(FLACC) scale; and a self report measure; faces pain scale-revised(FPS-R), at two points of time, after completion of local anesthetic administration and after extraction. The general behavior of children was assessed with Wright's modification of Frankl rating scale. At the end of the session, children were instructed to represent, themselves along with the dentist and their experiences of the dental treatment through drawing. The drawings were scored utilizing Child drawing: Hospital scale(CD: H) manual and correlated with FLACC, FPS-R and Frankl using Pearson correlation test.RESULTS: A positive correlation, though statistically not significant, was observed between CD: H scores and all other considered parameters(Frankl, FPS-R and FLACC) in the present study.CONCLUSION: Drawings could not act as surrogate measure of child's pain; however, they acted as a narrative of his/her experiences and reflection of inner emotions. Hence, drawings can be used as an additional dental armamentarium.展开更多
