Abstract:

Background: In dentistry choosing a postgraduate branch after bachelor’s degree is quite complex and difficult, as all specialties have their own significance and application. In such situation dental graduate should evaluate his own capability and interest rather than any pressure or persuasion from his friends or parents and hence accordingly make his selection for post-graduation specialization. The ambitions of an aspiring candidate in a particular specialty in turn contribute a lot for the future of that specialty especially in pedodontics which has the responsibility of detecting and early intervention regarding dental caries and other oral health related problem. The aim and objective of this study was to evaluate the reasons of post graduate students in private and government dental colleges in India for selection pedodontics and preventive dentistry as career after completing graduation.Methods: A questionnaire-based study was conducted among 100 students pursuing post-graduation in pedodontics and preventive dentistry. The questionnaire consisted of eight close ended and one open ended items which included career choice-related questions and demographic (age and gender) data. Finally, data was collected and presented as frequency distribution.Results: Overall majority of students choose pedodontics as choice about 65% (65/100) and 35% (35/100) were those who got in pedodontics field by chance. 15% (15/100) students had family role in getting MDS admission in pedodontics. Conclusions: Post graduate pedodontics students mostly have chosen pedodontics as a professional career due to their personal interest and influence of family and those who by chance opted pedodontics developed interest in the subject with time.

Abstract:

Our statistical study included 344 participants selected from the patients of the Pedodontics–Orthodontics Discipline of the Tîrgu-Mureş University of Medicine and Pharmacy. The patients’ age was between 6 and 18 years, with an average of 13.70 and a standard deviation of 4.62. The study participants were informed and agreed to complete two questionnaires of our conception regarding their health status, oral hygiene, and motivation for pedodontics or orthodontic treatment. The results of the two questionnaires were interpreted according to the gender and age of the patients. Data processing was performed with NCSS/PASS Dawson Edition statistical software, using the CHI2 test, considering a p of less than 0.05 as significant for comparative results. Results showed that girls were more motivated than boys in addressing pedodontic services due to dental, periodontal, and articular problems. Children, aged between 11 and 14 years, were less intrinsically motivated to solve oral health problems due to their low frequency. The intrinsic motivation for a more beautiful dentition was very strong, regardless of age and sex. Girls were more intrinsically motivated for orthodontic treatment than boys. There was a linear increase together in the age of those who wanted to improve their smile and facial appearance. Children between 11 and 14 years had the best self-perception of the appearance of their teeth, mouth, smile, and facial harmony. The strongest extrinsic motivation for orthodontic treatment came from parents or another doctor. The most important reason for orthodontics was dental malpositions, the last one was the improvement of masticatory efficiency. The extrinsic motivation from parents for orthodontics decreases linearly with age, along with the increase in motivation from the person with whom the participants relate emotionally and from the group of friends.

Abstract:

This study compared differences in dental maturation and dental age in Scandinavian children born in 1969–1973 and 2005–2010. The study was based on 130 ethnic Scandinavian children, who were divided in two groups corresponding to the time periods and matched on age and sex. Each group consisted of 65 children (30 girls, 35 boys, mean age 9.29 years and 9.30 years, respectively). Dental maturation was analysed by orthopantomographs, in accordance with Demirjian and Haavikko. Dental age was analysed by orthopantomographs in accordance with Demirjian. Boys and girls were analysed separately by linear regression analysis adjusted for age. For the children born in 2005–2010, teeth matured significantly earlier (Demirjian: 0.21 maturities, CI 95% 0.11–0.31, p < 0.000. Haavikko: maxilla: 0.39 maturities, CI 95% 0.21–0.56, p < 0.000. Mandible: 0.42 maturities, CI 95% 0.17–0.67, p = 0.001) and the dental age was significantly higher (Demirjian: 6.04 months, CI 95% 0.23–0.77, p < 0.000) in comparison with the children born in 1969–1973. In conclusion, the teeth of Scandinavian children born 2005–2010 matured significantly earlier than those of children born in 1969–1973. The results may prove valuable in forensic dentistry, pedodontics, and for the timing of pedodontic and orthodontic treatment.

Abstract:

The advent of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has changed the face of dentistry in the 21st century. The relentless efforts amongst dental professionals to refine their practice have made them adapt from conventional treatment procedures to a fully digital plan to treat their patients. 3D printing is a resourceful technique that allows the development of fully digitalized and customized treatment plans, thereby helping in the personalization of dental appliances for patients. It is highly competent, replicable, and provides fast and precise results in a reasonably priced style. In pedodontics, this technology can overcome the increased chair side time for children thus making the treatment easier for both the pedodontist and the child. Other than its clinical aspects, 3D printing is now used for making real-life models for dental educational purposes, as well as patient awareness. In this review, we will discuss the execution and current trends of 3D printing uses in pediatric and preventive dentistry. The aim is to throw light upon the process of the digital road map used in the clinical diagnosis of various dental problems focusing on pediatric dental practice and how it can be connected from labs to clinics. A brief stance on the most recent processing methods as well as their current and future applications are also discussed.

Abstract:

Objective:The primary aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the effects of home accidents(HAs) on the traumatic dental injuries(TDIs) of primary teeth. Furthermore, the secondary aim was to bring attention to the importance of preventive measures for HAs, especially in this pandemic period where children all over the world spend most of their time in their homes due to coronavirus(COVID-19) disease. Material and Methods:The records of the patients with TDIs of the primary teeth, aged 6 months-8 years, who applied to the xxxxxxxxxUniversity, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Pedodontics, between the years 2000¬2010 and yyyyyyyyUniversity, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Pedodontics, between the years 2012–2019 were investigated. Results:The sample consisted of 504 children that had TDIs to the primary teeth. The age range of the children was 1–8 years(3.5±1.8years old) and 37.3%(n=188) of the patients were girls and 62.7%(n=316) boys. The prevalence of the TDIs due to HAs was found to be 43.25%(n=218). A total of 380 teeth in the 218 patients who were found to have TDIs due to HAs were examined. The highest prevalence of traumatized children was in the age range 2-4 years(63.3%). Collisions with objects(45%) were found to be most common causes of dental trauma and the most common type of injury was found to be lateral luxation(35.8%). Conclusions:Measures to prevent HAs should primarily target preschool children, the riskiest group. Accidents can be largely prevented by taking simple precautions such as providing a safe environment for children's healthy mental and physical development at home.

Abstract:

Background: Although dental trauma has been reported at various frequencies worldwide, as far as we know there are few data regarding the frequency of dental trauma during the pandemic period. Purpose: This study aims to retrospectively evaluate the data of pediatric patients who were admitted to the Department of Pedodontics in a university hospital due to dental trauma during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Between April 2020 and December 2020, the clinical records regarding admissions to the Harran University Faculty of Dentistry Pedodontics clinic due to dental trauma were examined. The age and gender of the patient, type of trauma, teeth affected by the trauma, and treatment methods applied after the trauma were recorded. The data obtained were analyzed using the independent sample t-test for intergroup comparisons and Pearson chi-square test for categorical variables with the help of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 23.0. Results: The data of 43 patients (27 males and 16 females) aged between 1–13 years (mean age: 9.13±3.20) who were admitted to the clinic with trauma complaints during an eight-month period were evaluated. It was determined that the most common trauma types in the pandemic period were simple crown fracture (25.6%) and subluxation/lateral luxation (23.3%). During the pandemic, 34.9% of all cases were “falling at home”, while “falling at school” was 14.0% (using the Pearson chi-square test). Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic period has affected many aspects of social life as well as the number of patients who were admitted for dental trauma and the causes of trauma. Multicenter studies are needed for more accurate results.

Abstract:

Objectives. To assess the type and distribution of dento-periodontal traumas in mixed dentition in a group of children aged 3-9 years who seek consultation and treatment in the Pedodontics Department of the Faculty of Dentistry. Material and methods. Retrospective descriptive observational descriptive study performed on 114 children (67 boys) aged 3-9 years, (mean age - 5.65 ± 1.45 years) with dento-periodontal trauma to temporary teeth (dt) and permanent teeth (PT), which occurred in Bucharest Pedodontics Clinic during 2015-2019. The recorded data were obtained from the emergency register of this clinic. The distribution of patients according to age, sex, environment, etiology, age and location of trauma and number of affected teeth was assessed and the distribution of affected teeth was analyzed according to the type of dentition affected, topography of affected teeth and emergency treatment performed. Results. The most frequent traumas for dt were registered at the age of 3 years, and for DP at the age of 7-8 years. Boys were more affected than girls (58.77% and 41.23%, respectively; NS, p > 0.05). 63% of patients came from urban areas and 37% from rural areas. Most injuries (64.03%) were caused by accidental falling children. 50.87% of patients presented to the clinic less than 24 hours after the accident. 55.27% of the traumas occurred in the internal environment. Most patients (87.71%) had 1 or 2 affected teeth. 41% of the traumas were at DP and 59% at dt. At DP there were 21.57% dental injuries and 19.12% periodontal injuries. At dt 11.76% were dental traumas and 47.54% periodontal. The upper frontals were the most affected teeth at both dentitions. Conclusions. Dento-periodontal injuries are a common pathology in this age group and it is important to make the persons around children aware of the importance of their prevention.

Abstract:

Aim. To evaluate the reasons for seeking dental care for children and teenagers attending an emergency clinic and the proportion of single visits treatments. Material and methods. A retrospective study was made on 500 children and teenagers (252 girls), mean age 13.91±2.3 years, who attended the emergency office from the Paedodontics Department of "Carol Davila" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, during 2017-2019. Information regarding age/gender/diagnosis and treatment were analyzed. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics and Pearson's Chi-square test with the significance level set as p < 0.05. Results. For 401 children (80.2%), pain was the main reason for the presentation in an emergency visit. 11% came for a specialist consultation and the others 8.8% because of a dental trauma. Nearly 79% of the visits were due to caries: 39% simple decays and 40% complicated caries. Of the decayed teeth, 62.8% were on the posterior teeth and 37.2% on the anterior permanent teeth. Only 15.4% needed one single visit treatment, the others needed a complex pulp therapy. Conclusions. Pain caused by dental decay was the most frequent chief complaint. A lot of children were brought to the dentist with complaints that had started long time before, for which over-the-counter medications had been used. Most children had complicated caries which requires multiple treatment sessions.

Abstract:

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a revolutionary technology with several applications across different dental fields, including pedodontics. This systematic review has the objective to catalog and explore the various uses of artificial intelligence in pediatric dentistry. Methods: A thorough exploration of scientific databases was carried out to identify studies addressing the usage of AI in pediatric dentistry until December 2023 in the Embase, Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science databases by two researchers, S.L.R. and A.L.G. Results: From a pool of 1301 articles, only 64 met the predefined criteria and were considered for inclusion in this review. From the data retrieved, it was possible to provide a narrative discussion of the potential implications of AI in the specialized area of pediatric dentistry. The use of AI algorithms and machine learning techniques has shown promising results in several applications of daily dental pediatric practice, including the following: (1) assisting the diagnostic and recognizing processes of early signs of dental pathologies, (2) enhancing orthodontic diagnosis by automating cephalometric tracing and estimating growth and development, (3) assisting and educating children to develop appropriate behavior for dental hygiene. Conclusion: AI holds significant potential in transforming clinical practice, improving patient outcomes, and elevating the standards of care in pediatric patients. Future directions may involve developing cloud-based platforms for data integration and sharing, leveraging large datasets for improved predictive results, and expanding AI applications for the pediatric population.

Abstract:

Introduction: As a result of developments in technology, materials, and illness knowledge, paediatric dentistry has experienced major changes. When dealing with children, comfort, speed, safety, and conservative therapies are paramount. Of course, this also applies to adults, but getting youngsters started with dental appointments and making the experience stress-free for both patients and parents is extremely vital. The introduction and use of new technology caused a paradigm change in the practice of dentistry. This has been marked by the development of new and superior restorative materials that allow us to remove less tooth structure. We have now achieved the therapeutic goals discovered in giving more minimally invasive dentistry. Early dental diagnosis has become increasingly important in recent years. Early detection of dental caries has grown in relevance in recent years as conservative dentistry has remained at the forefront. The dentist should emphasize early identification of dental caries and the least invasive treatment alternatives, especially in paediatric patients. Traditional caries detection methods frequently miss early enamel lesions that have not developed into cavitation. As a result, several innovative strategies for detecting cavities early have been developed. Aim: The purpose of the current literature is to provide broad information regarding new restorative materials and caries detection technologies and summarize recent advances in paediatric dentistry. Conclusion: This overview highlighted a huge variety of current equipment that is either now used or can be utilized in dental diagnostics. Some of these devices are rather pricey and take up a lot of room. Technology evolves so quickly that it is impossible to stay up. As a result, possibly the best answer for each pedodontist or pedodontics clinic is to select the equipment with the greatest cost benefit.

Abstract:

Avaliaram-se as condutas clínicas freqüentemente preconizadas pelos cursos de especialização em Odontopediaria no Brasil frente à cárie severa da primeira infância (CS). Todos os cursos registrados no Conselho Federal de Odontologia (46) no início do ano de 2003 receberam um questionário contendo oito questões referentes à filosofia de tratamento da CS. Foram respondidos 24 questionários, perfazendo 52,17% do total enviado. Os dados foram avaliados e representados em gráficos. Os resultados mostraram que a contenção física é preconizada em 83,3% dos cursos, e que 58,3% dos cursos de especialização empregam o cariostático. A pulpotomia é indicada em 100% dos cursos, sendo o material mais utilizado o formocresol diluído (62,5%). A pulpectomia é preconizada por 92% dos cursos. A solução irrigadora mais utilizada é o hipoclorito de sódio a 0,05% (Dakin 62,5%) e uma pasta contendo corticosteróide, paramonoclorofenol canforado e iodofórmio, como material obturador (45,8%). A utilização de fluoretos é rotina em 91,6% dos cursos embora, a forma e o veículo para administração sejam variados. O controle da dieta é realizado com base no diário alimentar recordatório em 54,2%. Concluiu-se que as medidas terapêuticas da CS necessitam melhor discussão entre os responsáveis pelo ensino de especialização em Odontopediatria no Brasil, pois, embora as técnicas empregadas sejam similares, existe uma diversidade considerável quanto aos materiais utilizados. Seria interessante o estudo para elaboração de um protocolo único para facilitar o emprego de técnicas adequadas para a solução e prevenção da CS.

Abstract:

Objectives: The purpose of this case study was to report the compound odontoma’s founding in a panoramic radiograph. Case Report: An 11-year-old female patient came with her parents to the pedodontics of Dental Hospital Padjadjaran Bandung with the chief complaint of a palatal bite with an unerupted left maxillary posterior tooth. Then the patient took the panoramic and cephalometry radiographs to confirm the diagnosis. The result from the panoramic radiograph was that there were multiple radioopaques with a tooth-like structure contained, surrounded by a radiolucent band, and the lesion had a corticated, well-defined border. Radiodiagnosis has been established as a compound odontoma associated with an unerupted maxillary second premolar. Conclusion: Compound odontoma is a benign tumor that often occurs at the age of tooth development and often causes delayed tooth eruption. Panoramic radiographs as radiographic aids play a very important role in identifying these tumors.

Abstract:

Background: Demands and dental treatment needs were assessed among Children Attending the Clinic of Pedodontics, College of dentistry-Babylon University, for the first time. Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate dental demands and needs of group of children attending clinic of Pedodontics in the College of Dentistry, Babylon University. Methodology: A descriptive clinical study was done for random sample of children. The sample consists of 400 child (200 males and 200 females). The ages of those children were range between 5-15 years. Children were examined in the peadodontic and Preventive Dentistry clinic /College of Dentistry / Babylon University during the period of 1 march 2013 until 1 April 2013. Data were analyzed through using descriptive statistical analysis, which include (Percentage arithmetic mean and standard deviation). Results: The study showed that toothache 48.8% formed the most frequent demands, followed by dental trauma, orthodontics problems, and then preventive measures. Concerning treatment needs; 98.5% of children needed dental treatment because of dental caries, while 97.8 of children needed periodontal treatment. In addition, 20.8% of children needed treatment because of traumatic dental injuries, as well as 18.0% of children needed orthodontics treatment, while only 6.2% of children needed preventive measures. Furthermore, two or more surface restoration needed in 32.7% of children, while 27.2% of children needed pulp care, then 22.8% of children needed one surface restoration. Data of this study reflect that, the expressed need or demand for dental care falls short of the normative need among Iraqi children. Conclusions: There is a far distance between the normative requirements and demands for treatment, where that most parents came to visit dental clinic only after their children feel with severe pain. There was a lack of health awareness regarding oral and dental health in children and their parents. Recommendations: The study recommended the need for collaborative efforts made by the sectors of primary health care, in addition to the faculties of dentistry in order to raise the level of health awareness with regard to the health of the mouth and teeth and by increasing the efficiency of workers in this field through brought into the training courses and increase the efficiency of the quality of services provided, in addition to holding seminars periodically with the participation of media for the purpose of educating the people.

Abstract:

Zirconia dioxide represents the current alternative in restoring primary teeth, being the most promising restorative material through its properties that offer. Zirconia crowns main properties are its aesthetics, resistance to fracture and compression, biocompatibility, alternative for the patients that are allergic to Ni-Cr. This cross-sectional study pointed out the correlations between the rate of applicability of the Ni-Cr crowns and the ZrO2 crowns, as well as the range of applicability of the ZrO2 crowns on temporary teeth among practitioners. The method of choice in the case of extensive carious lesions treatment on the primary teeth was the restoration using filling materials. From the 33,2% of the dentists who decide to apply a pedodontics crown, 75% use the Ni-Cr crowns, and only 25% of them choose the ZrO2 crown (p[0.0001). The applicability of ZrO2 crowns in pediatric dentistry is quite reduced, despite their physiognomic advantages, their excessive cost can also be an impediment for the patient�s parents.

Abstract:

Aim: To assess the confidence of dentists in provision of dental treatment for children and to explore the status of the current pediatric dental services offered by the dental practitioners. Methodology: A self-structured questionnaire was administered. Data was collected from both academic and non-academic dental practitioners and specialists. Pediatric dentists were excluded from the study. Results: The results show that there is lack of undergraduate training in the subject of pediatric dentistry. Dentists reported low confidence in various pediatric dental procedures. The provision of dental services to the pediatric patients was also observed to be inadequate. Conclusion: The undergraduate education of pediatric dentistry is of paramount importance. The curriculum should be structured in such a way so that it translates into provision of best dental services to the children. There is need for continuing education courses for dentists in pediatric dentistry in order to ensure adequate dental care for children.

Developmental dental disorders may be due to anomalies in tooth number, size, shape and structure. Gemination and fusion are anomalies of shape with close similarity but with different etiology. Gemination and fusion are anomalies of shape with close similarity but with different etiology. The etiology of germination is not fully understood environmental factors such as trauma, vitamin deficiencies, systemic diseases and certain genetic predisposition have been suggested as possible causes. A 9 year old male patient reported to the department of pedodontics and preventive dentistry Dr R Ahmed Dental College & Hospital with the chief complaint of unaesthetic upper front teeth on clinical examination. It was found that the upper central incisors were markedly large in size with buccolingual grooves present partially separating two halves of crown. The incisors were caries free and there was no history of pain or any discomfort. Since the roots were not completely formed the patient was kept on follow up for the treatment to be delivered.

Abstract:

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare benign neoplasm of odontogenic epithelial origin. A 12-year-old male reported to the department of pedodontics and preventive dentistry with swelling on lower part of face since seven months. On examination, firm to hard, nontender swelling, sized approximately 3 × 3 cm, extending from mandibular left canine to right lateral incisor with expansion of labial and lingual cortices was present. Radiograph revealed a well demarcated unilocular radiolucency exhibiting sclerotic border with flecks of calcification and displaced roots of mandibular anteriors and expansion of both cortices. Incisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of AOT. Enucleation of the lesion along with #31, 32 and curetiage was done under general anesthesia. Ribbond fiber prosthesis was given to maintain the arch integrity and esthetics. AOT in mandible (35%) of young male (36%) of extrafollicular variant (24%) is rare. We may encounter only 2-3 out of 100 AOT cases as typical as the case presented here. BJHS 2018;3(2)6: 504-507.

Abstract:

Predicting the mandible size before the termination of growth of the maxillofacial bones is essential in pedodontics as well as for the predictions needed for genetic analysis. Here, Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) analysis was used to detect the chromosomal regions responsible for the mandible length between the menton and gonion in an SMXA recombinant inbred strain of mice. Around the region 60 cM from the centromere in chromosome 10, the logarithm of the odds score showed a higher than suggestive level. Around the regions 13 cM and 16 cM in chromosome 11, two significant QTLs were detected. Analysis of genotypes from loci corresponding to those QTLs revealed a large mandible when the region between the markers Hba and D11Mit163 and D10Mit70 and D10Mit136 indicated the genotype from the A/J and SM/J alleles, respectively. These results suggest that the major gene(s) responsible for mandible length are located in these regions.

Abstract:

The aim of this investigation was to study children with supernumerary teeth who visited the Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, Government Dental College and Hospital, Rohtak, Haryana, India. Only children with supernumerary teeth were included in the study while patients having supernumerary teeth with associated syndromes were excluded. Supernumeraries were detected by clinical and radiographic examination. The results indicated that males were affected more than females with a sex ratio of 2.9 : 1. Single supernumerary tooth was seen in 79% of the patients, 20% had double, and 1% had three or more supernumeraries. Premaxillary supernumeraries accounted for 93.8% of the cases. Conical shaped supernumerary teeth were the most common type (59.7%). Majority of supernumeraries remained unerupted (65%). Fusion of supernumerary tooth with a regular tooth was observed in 4% of the patients. Talon cusp, an associated dental anomaly, was seen in 5% of the cases. Simultaneous hypodontia occurred in 2.3% of patients with supernumeraries.

Abstract:

Background: Tooth decay is considered a global scourge by the World Health Organization (WHO) starting at an early age. In recent years, silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has regained interest, particularly in pediatric dentistry, used to prevent the development of carious lesions or arrest their progression. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess, through a systematic review of the literature, the effectiveness of SDF, used in pedodontics, in temporary teeth, in preventing or arresting dental caries. Material and Methods: An electronic search was conducted on PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus. The effect of SDF on both temporary and permanent teeth has been considered. Results: The inclusion criteria identified 16 randomized controlled trials involving patients aged 18 months to 13 years and followed over a period of 12–30 months. Conclusions: SDF is a practical, accessible and effective non-invasive way to prevent and arrest caries in temporary and permanent teeth. Its application requires regular monitoring. The resulting black spot is diminished by immediate application of potassium iodide but this may affect its effectiveness.

Abstract:

Mini implants have seen an evolutionary change in the phase of implant placement. The most common use for mini implant is the stabilization of over denture and orthodontic treatments, now they are used in pediatric dentistry for congenitally missing teeth and tooth loss due to trauma. Mini implants as a prosthetic replacement gives a psychological advantage to the child as it provides a feeling of his own teeth. A thirteen year old boy came to the department of pedodontics, KVG dental college, Sullia, with a chief complaint of spacing in the lower front tooth region since 4 years. On radiographic examination absence of 41, 31 were found. On model analysis, space deficiency was found in relation to the lower anterior and he was diagnosed with angle’s class I malocclusion with proclined maxxilary anterior teeth and congenitally missing lower central incisors. The patient’s main concern was on esthetics. Hence the patient was planned for a fixed provisional functional space maintainer using mini implant followed by crown prosthesis. The approach comes up with positive aesthetic and functional results that may reflect on self-esteem and social well-being of children and adolescents.

Abstract:

In addition to the direct impact of the SARS-CoV-2 infection, the COVID-19 pandemic reports multiple effects on people’s health and psycho-physical well-being. In the dental field, oral hygiene sessions, regular dental check-ups, and aerosol-generating procedures were commonly postponed, thus resulting in repercussions on oral health also favored by the changing eating and oral hygiene habits during the multiple lockdowns. Furthermore, dental settings and practices were generally perceived as at high risk for SARS-CoV-2 transmission, thus unsafe, and by general and pediatric dentists themselves. Last, the consequences of stress related to deprivation of social life and playful activities should not be underestimated in children, exposing them to the deleterious effects of bad oral habits, with repercussions on the balanced growth and development of the stomatognathic system. The present work intends to analyze the medium-term and long-term impact of COVID-19 on pediatric oral and dental care provision, reviewing pediatric dentistry practice and oral and dental needs of pedodontics patients during the first peak and the various waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, and lessons learned.

Abstract:

Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of parental anxiety and a history of epilepsy on children's dental anxiety. Materials and Methods: The study involved 84 children aged 4 to 12 who visited the Pedodontics Department at Necmettin Erbakan University. The subjects were divided into two groups: children with no history of epilepsy (Group 1, n = 44) and children with a history of epilepsy (Group 2, n = 40). Before receiving dental treatment, each child was asked to independently complete the Children's Dental Anxiety Screening Scale (CFSS-DS) questionnaire. Parental dental anxiety was assessed using the Turkish version of the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS), which categorizes dental anxiety into five levels. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in CFSS-DS total scores between Group 1 and Group 2 (p = 0.103). Pearson Correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant weak positive association between parental anxiety and children's dental anxiety (p = 0.008). Conclusion: This study found a significant and linear correlation between children's dental anxiety and their parents' dental anxiety. However, it could not establish a direct link between a child's medical history of epilepsy and their anxiety.

Abstract:

Introduction: Astrologers assume that the sun sign dictates personality. A relationship between personality traits and sun signs exists, though a degree of relation could vary. Selecting a career is thought to be dependent on a number of factors and the perceived suitability of one’s personality characteristics to a certain career is one among other factors. Aim: The aim of the study was to explore zodiac signs and related personality traits of dental students and their perception toward dental specialties. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out among (n = 447) undergraduates and postgraduate dental students in Andhra Pradesh. A pretested 3 questionnaire was used to collect data regarding demographics, education level, zodiac-related personality traits, and preferred dental specialty, which was assessed using Google Forms. A Chi-square test was done to know the association. Results: There is a statistical significance (<0.001) between the zodiac sign and the dental specialty they prefer. Majority of extroverts preferred surgery and conservative, while introverts chose pedodontics and periodontics. Ambiverts chose orthodontics and public health dentistry. Conclusion: Different personality types choose different specialties. There might be connections to zodiac signs that demand further research.

Abstract:

Background- Preservation of pulp vitality is of utmost importance to the normal physiological functioning of tooth in situ and physiological process of exfoliation in a tooth affected by disease or trauma. Pulpotomy serves such a purpose using various medicaments applied directly on vital pulp. Aim- To compare and evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of 3Mixtatin with MTA and formocresol for pulpotomy of primary molars. Materials & Methodologyâ€“ Sixty primary molars were selected from 100 children aged between 5-9 years age who reported to Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry. All selected primary teeth were randomly divided in to three groups with 20 each depending on the type of pulpotomy medicament (Group I - Formocresol, Group II - MTA, Group III -3mixtatin) used. The children were then examined clinically and radiographically at 6 and 12 months. Results & Observationâ€“ Overall clinical and radiographic success rate of three groups at 6 months and 12 months were Group I showed success rate of 91.7 percent ,81.7 percent Group II showed 100percent, 91.7percent Group III showed 95 percent,85 percent respectively. Conclusionâ€“ 3mixtatin can be considered as additional pulpotomy medicament in primary teeth because of its bio-compatible and bioinductive properties.
