abstract: From January 1998 to January 1999, 458 files of 2 to 15 years old patients have been collected to indexthe different causes of pain in pediatric dentistry and to record the treatments applied to face that. It arises from this study that BAUME category II takes up from as far to the first place (77.7 %) followed by the category III (2.3) with a notable difference which nevertheless, can be explained by the transient nature of this category in the child. However, according to our study, pain abolition doesn't exclusively depend on drugs, some surgical procedures are indispensable. At the end of this study, it is to retain that, in spite of the importance typically dental pain, the problem of pain in pediatric dentistry must be approached in a entire sight.
