Objective. To investigate if parental background affects acceptance of behavior guidance techniques. Background. Behavior guidance techniques are used for the safe and effective treatment of pediatric patients. Acceptance of these techniques may vary by racial and ethnic background. Methods. A total of 142 parents were recruited and asked to rate videos showing: active restraint/protective stabilization (AR), general anesthesia (GA), nitrous oxide sedation (N2O), oral premedication/sedation (OP), passive restraint/protective stabilization (PR), tell-show-do (TSD), and voice control (VC) techniques. Results. Hispanic parents rated VC most acceptable, followed by TSD, PR, and pharmacologic techniques. Black and white parents rated TSD, followed by N2O, as most acceptable, and AR and PR as least favorable. Hispanics found GA significantly less acceptable than whites or blacks. Hispanics were less accepting of AR than blacks; but more accepting of PR than whites. TSD was highly rated among all 3 cohorts. Parental background affected acceptance of the techniques in this study.

Behavior Management Techniques

Aim. To compare acceptance of behavior management techniques used in pediatric dentistry by Spanish and Portuguese parents. Study design. cross-sectional study. A survey of 8 behavior management techniques used in pediatric dentistry was administered to parents whose children were being treated at the Universitat Internacional de Cataluña (Barcelona, Spain) or at the Universidade de Coimbra (Portugal). The techniques evaluated were: tell–show–do (TSD), nitrous oxide sedation, passive restraint using a papoose board, voice control, hand-over-mouth, oral premedication, active restraint and general anaesthesia. The questionnaire also included information on parents’ sex, number and sex of children receiving treatment, parents’ previous dental experience (positive or negative), children’s previous dental experience (positive or negative), and the socioeconomic status of the families. Results. TSD and voice control were rated the most acceptable techniques in both Spain and Portugal, whereas the least accepted techniques in both countries were active and passive restraint. There were no significant differences in the acceptance of each of the techniques, in relation to parents’ sex or their previous dental experience, children’s sex or age, children’s previous dental experience, or families’ socioeconomic status. Conclusion. TSD was the most widely accepted behavior-management technique by Spanish and Portuguese parents, even with the passage of time. Both groups of parents had a low opinion of active and passive restraint techniques.

The pandemic changed the landscape of the accessibility to healthcare in an unexpected way. The instant disconnection with healthcare professionals including dental professionals thrusted tele-medicine and tele-dentistry into the spotlight. In pediatric dentistry, there are applications developed for both patients and dentists. This article aims to provide an overview of pediatric dentistry-related applications available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store that can be useful for children, families and pediatric dentists. iPhone XS was used to access the Apple App Store, and Samsung Galaxy Note 20 devices was used to access the applications in the Google Play Store. The keywords; pediatric dentistry, teeth, brushing teeth, toothbrush timer, pediatric dental care, dentist games, dental pain, dental trauma were selected and searched in Google Play Store and Apple App Store. In total there were 313 applications related to pediatric dentistry which were classified as “Applications for Pediatric Dentists” and “Applications for Pediatric Patients and Their Families”.

Compound Odontoma

Among odontogenic tumors, odontoma is the most frequent. The common treatment contemplates a conservative approach. While this procedure is generally accepted and tolerated, some difficulties may be encountered in the case of pediatric patients. Indeed, negative feelings of tension, apprehension, nervousness, and fear are likely to occur. The present report is aimed at discussing the management of a compound odontoma in a pediatric patient under anxiolysis with diazepam on an outpatient basis. The surgery was carried out without complications, and the discharge was completed safely. Oral premedication with diazepam should be considered to avoid more invasive sedation procedures in anxious pediatric patients.

Aim: To evaluate parents' acceptance of management techniques in Israeli pediatric dental clinics. Study Design: Ninety parents who accompanied their children to three pediatric dental clinics provided information on selected parameters including their attitudes about management techniques. Results: 68.9% of the parents preferred to stay in the treatment room. The most accepted technique was positive reinforcement (81.1%) followed by tell-show-do (TSD) (76.7%, with younger parents more accepting than older, p = 0.049). The least accepted techniques were restraint (1.1%) and voice control (7.8%, especially by parents with the highest dental anxiety, p = 0.002). Sedation was unacceptable by 15.6% of the parents: those with the lowest dental anxiety agreed to sedation significantly more than those with greater dental anxiety (p = 0.031). Conclusions: Parents preferred more positive approaches and management techniques that involve demonstrations geared for the child's level of understanding. Restraint and voice control were more strongly rejected than sedation.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the location of the mental foramen, using panoramic x-rays from children with ages among ten to 12 years. In a first moment, the radiographs were digitalized and measures were accomplished in the Image Tool 1.27 software, being verified the distance between the mandible border and the mental foramen inferior portion, the total height of the alveolar ridge, and also the distance between the medium portion of the mental foramen and a traced line of the nasal spine previously to a point located in the most inferior portion of the mentus. In children with ages among ten and 11 years, the percentage occurrence of the mental foramen location was in the inferior third of the alveolar ridge and, in the 12 years age group, it was in the medium third. Authors concluded that the position of the mental foramen modifies with the increase of the age, being important the analysis of the precisely location of the mental foramen in Pediatric Dentistry.

Osseointegrated Implants

The use of osseointegrated implants has been increasingly widespread in the adult population, however in children there is a certain lack in the literature on the application of this technique. The bone growth and development factor must be well analyzed, and the pediatric dentist must be able to suggest the use of this treatment option for oral rehabilitation, when necessary. This article discusses bone growth and development of the craniofacial region, presents relevant aspects of the literature and discusses the use of this technique in pediatric patients.

Objective: We aimed to examine if changes in oxygen saturation and pulse rate of pediatric patients during conscious sedation with midazolam and nitrous oxide are associated with child's behavior, midazolam dose, the type and duration of the treatment and demographic parameters. Study Design: This study was a retrospective chart review of consecutive pediatric patients, aged 2.5–12.5 years, who had undergone conscious sedation for dental treatment with oral midazolam (with or without nitrous oxide) between January 2011 and September 2015 at the Department of Pediatric Dentistry of Tel Aviv University. Oral midazolam was administered according to the patients' weight, either at 0.4 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg or at a maximum dose of 10 mg. In all cases pulse rate and oxygen saturation were monitored every 15 minutes during treatment, Results: 147 sedation sessions (82 of females and 65 of males) were included in the study. Sedation was successful in 80% of cases. Children with poor behavior scores had statistically significant different mean saturation levels, albeit within normal range, during the treatment (p<0.012) as well as a clinically significant higher mean pulse rate (p=0.0001), compared to children with good or excellent behavior scores. Treatment duration, the type of dental procedure or the patients' weight were not correlated with the change in oxygen saturation or pulse rate during the treatment. Conclusions: Poor behavior of pediatric patients does not affect oxygen saturation, but it increases the pulse rate of children under sedation with midazolam and nitrous oxide.
