The present report discusses briefly the problem of ECC in very young children and the recommended approaches for prevention and treatment. The esthetic restoration of the maxillary incisors with Zirconia Nu Smile™ crowns is described. It is also stressed that the luxation injury two months after placement did not damage the appearance nor the stability of the crowns.

Esthetic management of extensively decayed primary maxillary anterior teeth requiring full coronal coverage restoration is usually challenging to the pediatric dentists especially in very young children. Many esthetic options have been tried over the years each having its own advantages, disadvantages and associated technical, functional or esthetic limitations. Zirconia crowns have provided a treatment alternative to address the esthetic concerns and ease of placement of extra-coronal restorations on primary anterior teeth. The present article presents a case where grossly decayed maxillary primary incisors were restored esthetically and functionally with readymade zirconia crowns (ZIRKIZ, HASS Corp; Korea). After endodontic treatment the decayed teeth were restored with zirconia crowns. Over a 30 months period, the crowns have demonstrated good retention and esthetic results. Dealing with esthetic needs in children with extensive loss of tooth structure, using Zirconia crowns would be practical and successful. The treatment described is simple and effective and represents a promising alternative for rehabilitation of decayed primary teeth.

The MacArthur Communication Development Inventory: Infant Scale (CDI/I) is among the strongest measures of early lexical comprehension (Fenson et al., 1994). The present study examined the stability of CDI/I results over a 2-week period in a sample of 17 mothers of children with developmental delays. Test-retest stability was computed for total number of words understood (i.e., summary-level stability) and for word-by-word agreement (i.e., item-by-item stability) across a 2-week interval. Results indicated that although there was excellent summary level stability, there was, in many cases, inadequate item-by-item agreement between the two testing occasions. The degree to which mothers were consistent on an item-by-item basis varied as a function of the types of words they were reporting on, the occupational status and educational level of the mothers, and the extent to which mothers confidently interpret nonlinguistic child behavior. These data illustrate that the CDI/I can be used to identify overall vocabulary deficits and specific word classes that are under-represented, but not to identify specific words for remediation.

Since the 1990s, a new type of Holocaust story has been emerging in Israeli children's literature. This new narrative is directed towards very young children, from preschool to the first years of elementary school, and its official goal is to instil in them an authentic ‘first Holocaust memory’. This essay presents the literary characteristics of this new Holocaust narrative for children and its master narrative. It brings into light a new profile of both writers and readers. The writers were young children during the Holocaust, and first chose to tell their stories from the safe distance of three generations. The readers are their grand-children and their grand-children's peers, who are assigned an essential role as listeners. These generational roles – the roles of a First Generation of writers and of a Third Generation of readers – are intrinsically familial ones. As such, they mark a significant change in the profile of yet another important figure in the Israeli intergenerational Holocaust discourse, the agent of the Holocaust story for children. Due to the new literary initiatives, the task of providing young children with a ‘first Holocaust memory’ is transferred from the educational authority, where it used to reside, to the domestic sphere.
