ABSTRACT Dental caries is the single most common chronic childhood disease. In early childhood caries, there is early pulpal involvement and gross destruction of the maxillary anterior teeth. This leads to decreased masticatory efficiency, difficulty in speech, psychological problems due to compromised esthetics, development of abnormal tongue habits and subsequent malocclusion. The restoration of severely decayed primary incisors is often a procedure that presents a special challenge to dentists, particularly in an uncooperative child. This case presents the clinical sequence of rehabilitation of upper anterior primary teeth, where endodontic treatments were done chairside followed by the construction of root post using stainless steel and the fabrication of crowns composed of resin.

Early childhood caries is the most common chronic childhood disease. It usually begin on labial surfaces of all anteriors and advance rapidly as a turgid demineralization causing gross destruction of all anterior primary teeth. This case presents the clinical sequence of rehabilitation of maxillary anterior primary teeth. Endodontic treatment was followed by the placement of a new fibre post; glass fibre reinforced composite resin post. The crown reconstruction was done with strip crowns.

ABSTRACT The esthetic restoration of severely mutilated primary anterior teeth has for a long time been a challenge for the pediatric dentist, not only because of the available materials and techniques, but also because the children who require such restorations are usually among the youngest and least manageable group of patients. This case report describes the challenging task of treating a three-year-old early childhood caries patient with mutilated maxillary incisors with composite resin using a custom made post made with 0.7 mm wire and posteriors where endodontic treatment has been done and stainless steel crown has been placed.

Early childhood caries is one of the most common chronic diseases seen in preschool children. It mainly affects maxillary primary anterior teeth and if untreated leads to pulpal involvement and destruction of coronal tooth structure. This results in decreased masticatory efficiency, difficulty in speech, compromised esthetics, development of abnormal tongue habits, subsequent malocclusion and psychological problems. The successful restoration of primary anterior teeth with severe loss of coronal structure is a challenging task for the dentists. The purpose of this case report is to describe the treatment of severely mutilated primary anterior teeth with a simple and efficient technique using omega wire extension and fiber post.

The aim of this study was to analyze the association between BMP2 (rs1884302) and DLX3 (rs2278163) gene polymorphisms and dental caries in primary and permanent dentitions. A total of 914 subjects were genotyped by the TaqMan methods: 176 caries-free children (with Decayed/Missing/Filled Teeth, DMFT = 0), 542 patients with dental caries in permanent dentition (DMFT ≥1), 83 caries-free children with primary teeth (with decayed/missing/filled teeth, dmft = 0), and 113 children with early childhood caries (ECC, dmft ≥1). There were no significant differences in allele/genotype frequencies between patients with caries in permanent dentition/ECC and caries-free children or between patients with very low (DMFT = 0-2), low (DMFT = 3-5), moderate (DMFT = 6-8), or high (DMFT ≥9) caries experience. Variability in BMP2 and DLX3 was not associated with caries in the Czech population.

Childhood Caries

Dental caries is one of the most common problem that can be found in both adults and children. Dental caries in primary teeth on children aged 0-71 months is known as Early Childhood Caries (ECC). Reports by Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 caries on primary teeth ranks 12th which affects as many as 560 million children worldwide. There are many predisposition factors that cause ECC, which are closely related to food consumption such as food snacking.The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between food snacking consumption  and Early Childhood Caries on children aged 2-5 years old in Padang. This study used a cross sectional design, with total sampel of 107 children aged 2-5 years in Padang. The location was selected through Stratified Random Sampling Method and samples was selected through Consecutive Sampling Method. Data was collected by using food frequency questionares and intra-oral examination that were analyzed by Chi-Square test with p<0.05. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between food snacking and ECC (p=0.000). The conclution of this study was that food snacking consumption is associated with Early Childhood Caries on children aged 2-5 years in Padang.

Introduction: Malnutrition in children is one of the most prevalent global health challenges, and malnourished children have a higher risk of death from childhood diseases. Early childhood caries (ECC) is the most common chronic disease of childhood. Complications from ECC such as pain, loss of tooth/teeth, and infection can undermine a child’s nutrition and growth. Aim: This study aims to evaluate the severity of decay, missing, and filled tooth (dmft) by nutritional status using the z scores of the anthropometric measurements: height for age (HFA), weight for age (WFA), weight for height (WFH), and body mass index for age (BMIA) among children with ECC in Nigeria. Study Design: This is a cross-sectional study conducted in 5 local government areas (LGAs) in Lagos State, Nigeria. A multistage sampling technique was used. Results: A total of 273 cases of ECC were included in the analyses (mean age 4.19 ± 0.96 y). Overall, the mean dmft was 3.04 ± 2.28, and most (96%) were accounted for by untreated decay. The distribution of dmft within the different z score categories of BMIA (<–3 = severely wasted, –2 to –3 = wasted, –2 to +2 = normal, +2 to +3 = overweight and >+3 = obese) showed the highest dmft scores among the combined severely wasted and wasted groups, lowest among children with normal z scores, and intermediate in the overweight and obese groups. There was a significant negative correlation between BMIA z score, WFH z score, and dmft ( r = −0.181, P < 0.05 and r = −0.143, P < 0.05, respectively). However, the correlations between HFA z score, WFA z score, and dmft were positive but not significant ( r = 0.048, P = 0.44 and r = 0.022, P = 0.77, respectively). Conclusion: Our study showed an increased severity of dental caries among severely wasted or wasted children with ECC compared to those of normal or overweight. Knowledge Transfer Statement: The results from this study will raise awareness among clinicians and policy makers on the need for a primary prevention program for early childhood caries in countries with high burden of malnutrition and limited resources. Also, it will help draw the attention of clinicians to the caries status of malnourished children that can be managed to improve the nutritional outcomes.

Objective: Dental caries is both an infectious and transmissible disease. Maternal transfer of Mutans Streptococci occurs at an early age and is important in the initiation of dental caries in children. The aim of this study was to identify certain strains of Streptococcus mutans in mother-child pairs, of children with early childhood caries. Study design: Sixty mother-child pairs of healthy children aged 18–36 months were selected. Mothers with high levels of Streptococcus mutans in their saliva and only children with ECC were included. Dental plaque samples were collected from mother-child pairs. The plaque samples were stored, transferred to the laboratory and analyzed for Streptococcus mutans strains c, f, e and k, present in mother-child pairs using Real time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique. Data obtained was subjected to statistical analysis for level of similarity in Streptococcus mutans strains present in mother-child pairs. Results: A similar distribution of Streptococcus mutans strains c, f and k was identified in 28 mother-child pairs. Streptococcus mutans strain e was seen in 18 pairs. Conclusion: Less than 50% of mother-child pairs showed similarity in distribution of Streptococcus mutans strains.
