Eight studies based on seven study populations were judged to have low or moderate overall risk of bias and were included in the review. These studies investigated whether the following exposure factors can influence pain experiences in children and adolescents: sex, age, dental anxiety, personal traits, parental anxiety, previous painful experiences, and genotype. For the factors sex, age and dental fear and anxiety, which were studied in at least two studies, synthesis without meta-analysis (SWiM) were conducted, and the certainty of evidence in the findings was determined using GRADE. The results show that there is a low certainty of evidence that female adolescents (12\u201318 years) rate procedural or postoperative pain higher than males. Furthermore, there is a very low certainty of evidence regarding the findings concerning age and dental anxiety.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>Consequently, the findings should be interpreted with caution. Ethical concerns were highlighted, as three of the eight included studies lacked complete information on ethical review and informed consent procedures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although several factors may be associated with children\u2019s and adolescents\u2019 pain experiences in conjunction with dental and medical treatment, the available evidence remains limited and the present review\u2019s results should be interpreted with caution.
