The main clinical diagnoses of pain patients in all different age groups were dental caries (63.6%). In general, the most frequent treatment was extraction (41.0%), and the most of these extractions needed to be performed under sedation (57.3%). Based on the analyzed data, a proposal for the management of emergency\/pain patients was formulated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Dental caries was the main cause of emergency or pain-related dental visits among children, with tooth extraction under sedation being the common treatment.
