Spontaneous Second Molar Migration After MIH-Affected First Molars Extraction
Early extraction of severely compromised first permanent molars (FPMs) can represent an effective treatment option to promote spontaneous mesialization of SPMs, particularly in the maxilla. The proposed radiograph-based measurement method demonstrated high consistency and reproducibility. Overall, this novel measurement approach may serve as a reliable and valuable tool for future clinical and research applications
Prevalence and Predictive Factors of Angle’s Class Malocclusion Asymmetries Without Crossbite in Primary School Children
The study highlights the importance of early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach to prevent malocclusions and complex craniofacial dysfunctions later in life
Oral Health Status of Ngäbe-Buglé Children in Panama
The oral health of children living in Ngäbe-Buglé communities is generally poor. Oral health education programs for children and adults might play a crucial role in improving the oral health status of the Ngäbe-Buglé population. In addition, the implementation of preventative measures, such as water fluoridation as well as regular toothbrushing with fluoridated toothpaste and more accessible dental care, will be essential in improving future gene…
Behavioral Modifications in Children after Repeated Sedation with Nitrous Oxide for Dental Treatment
Sedation with nitrous oxide (N 2 O) has been widely used as a viable alternative to general anesthesia to perform dental treatments in uncooperative or anxious children. The purpose of this retrospective study is to assess if repeated sedations with N 2 O can improve collaboration of uncooperative children. The medical records of 650 children, aged between 3 and 14 years, who underwent at least two sedations, were consulted. Differences in the Ve…
Use of Visual Pedagogy to Help Children with ASDs Facing the First Dental Examination
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are neurodevelopmental disorders that don't have a direct effect on oral health, but severe difficulties in oral hygiene and dental procedures expose people with ASDs to an increased risk of oral diseases. This RCT aimed to evaluate which pedagogical tool was the best to prepare children with ASDs for their first dental examination, either video or photo aids. Two different criteria were used to evaluate their eff…
Dental and Dental Hygiene Students’ Knowledge and Capacity to Discriminate the Developmental Defects of Enamel
Background: A prompt and accurate diagnosis of developmental defects of enamel (DDE) is mandatory for proper treatment management. This cross-sectional survey, designed and carried out using anonymous self-administered questionnaires, aimed to assess dental and dental hygiene students’ knowledge and their capability to identify different enamel development defects. Methods: The questionnaire consisted of twenty-eight closed-ended questions. Two d…
Economic Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Dental Practices in Germany
An observational cross-sectional survey was planned and carried out to evaluate the economic impact of the SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic on dental practices in Germany. An online-questionnaire was developed and previously calibrated by a group consisting of experts from dentists, lawyers, and business economists (n = 21; Intra-Class-Coefficient > 0.8). It consisted of four main categories: vital statistics, professional activity and practice struc…
Dental Workload Reduction during First Sars-CoV-2/Covid-19 Lockdown in Germany
An observational cross-sectional survey was planned to analyze the weekly workload reduction of German dentists during lockdown due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were predominantly members of the Free Association of German Dentists and filled in an online questionnaire. The questionnaire was sent to a total of 9416 dentists, with a response rate of 27.98% ( n = 2635). Respondents were divided into seven macro areas by gross domest…
Influence of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Dental Emergency Admissions in an Urgent Dental Care Service in North Italy
A retrospective study was performed to verify if the number of admissions for urgent dental care in the Urgent Dental Care Service of San Paolo Hospital in Milan (Italy) was directly related to the different phases of the COVID-19 pandemic. Different periods were analyzed: 25 March-5 April 2019 (pre-COVID); 23 March-3 April 2020 (lockdown); 8 June-19 June 2020 (reopening); and November 9-November 20 (second wave). Raw data regarding admissions, d…
Study Protocol for an Online Questionnaire Survey on Symptoms/Signs, Protective Measures, Level of Awareness and Perception Regarding Covid-19 Outbreak among Dentists. A Global Survey
The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization have developed preparedness and prevention checklists for healthcare professionals regarding the containment of COVID-19. The aim of the present protocol is to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak among dentists in different countries where various prevalence of the epidemic has been reported. Several research groups around the world were contacted by the cen…
A Call for Action to Safely Deliver Oral Health Care during and Post Covid-19 Pandemic
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak started just a couple of months ago and it grew rapidly causing several deaths and morbidities. The mechanism behind the transmission of the virus is still not completely understood despite a multitude of new specific manuscripts being published daily. This article highlights the oral cavity as a possible viral transmission route into the body via the Angiotensin converting…
Comparison of Icdas, Cast, Nyvad’s Criteria, and WHO-DMFT for Caries Detection in a Sample of Italian Schoolchildren
Caries measurement methods vary considerably in terms of the stages of lesion considered making the comparison problematic among different surveys. In this cross-sectional study, four caries measurement methods, the WHO-DMFT, the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS), the Caries Assessment Spectrum and Treatment (CAST), and the Nyvad Criteria were tested in a sample of children. Five-hundred 12-year old children (236 males …
Are distinctive risk indicators associated with different stages of caries in children? A cross-sectional study
Maternal nationality, maternal low level of education, intake of lactose-free milk and low toothbrushing frequency were involved in the change from caries-free status to different caries stages. Gender, paternal unemployment, maternal low educational level and use of a sweetened pacifier were correlated with caries progression, showing how distinctive risk indicators were associated with different caries stages
Early childhood caries and associated determinants
