Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Aim: This was to explore factors associated with dentists’ difficulties doing restorative treatment in children, in particular (1) stress, (2) clinical experience, (3) use of conscious sedation, and (4) use of local analgesia. Methods: A precoded questionnaire (QuestBack) was sent electronically to all dentists working in the Public Dental Service (PDS) in eight counties in Norway. Chi-square statistics, McNemar’s test and bivariate logistic regression analyses were used. Results: A total of 611 dentists received the questionnaire and 391 (65 %) returned the completed form. Self-reported stress was most frequent among dentists when treating patients aged 3–5 years and was statistically significantly associated with the dentists’ self-reported difficulties doing restorative treatment. Among dentists with ≤10 years experience about 60 % reported stress treating the youngest patients compared with 44 % among the more experienced dentists. Self-perceived stress and working experience was not associated with use of local analgesia and sedation. Conclusions: The frequency of self-perceived stress among dentists when undertaking restorative treatment decreased with increasing patient age from 3 to 18 years. When treating preschool children, a small group of dentists frequently or always experienced this as stressful work. The use of local analgesia or conscious sedation was not related to dentists’ stress. Dentists reported less frequently use of local analgesia and conscious sedation in children younger than 10 years. Undergraduate and continuous education and support in the use of local analgesia and conscious sedation is essential to provide optimal dental care for this patient group.
