Regarding pain , there was a trend for treatments without rotary instruments and local anesthesia to be less frequently reported as painful .
No statistical difference was found intragroup nor among treatments for OHRQoL. CONCLUSIONS Anxiety and pain are directly related with more invasive restorative treatments .
On the other h and , quality of life is not improved regardless of the restorative technique used .
BACKGROUND Despite the increasing number of studies evaluating patient reported outcome measures ( PROs ) , there is no clearness regarding which restorative treatment offers major benefits based on the pediatric patient perspective .

Reporting of patient-reported outcomes in randomized trials: the CONSORT PRO extension.
The CONSORT ( Consoli date d St and ards of Reporting Trials ) Statement aims to improve the reporting of r and omized controlled trials ( RCTs ) ; however , it lacks guidance on the reporting of patient-reported outcomes ( PROs ) , which are often inadequately reported in trials , thus limiting the value of these data . In this article , we describe the development of the CONSORT PRO extension based on the method ological framework for guideline development proposed by the Enhancing the Quality and Transparency of Health Research ( EQUATOR ) Network . Five CONSORT PRO checklist items are recommended for RCTs in which PROs are primary or important secondary end points . These recommendations urge that the PROs be identified as a primary or secondary outcome in the abstract , that a description of the hypothesis of the PROs and relevant domains be provided ( ie , if a multidimensional PRO tool has been used ) , that evidence of the PRO instrument 's validity and reliability be provided or cited , that the statistical approaches for dealing with missing data be explicitly stated , and that PRO-specific limitations of study findings and generalizability of results to other population s and clinical practice be discussed . Examples and an up date d CONSORT flow diagram with PRO items are provided . It is recommended that the CONSORT PRO guidance supplement the st and ard CONSORT guidelines for reporting RCTs with PROs as primary or secondary outcomes . Improved reporting of PRO data should facilitate robust interpretation of the results from RCTs and inform patient care
