Clinicians should identify the risks associated with the use of anesthetics and understand the maximum recommended doses of local anesthetics. Errors in calculating the dose of local anesthetics are common due to the widespread use of these agents. Different methods of calculating the dose of the drug have different advantages and disadvantages, and no method can guarantee a calculation without errors. Nomogram is a simple graphical tool on which one can read the result of arithmetic operations with given numbers. The nomogram for calculating the maximum dose of local anesthetic enables quick cross-checking of the calculation, based on the patient's age or body weight. They are of special importance in the application of local anesthesia in children.

Resumo: A participação tanto de pais como educadores envolve um impacto surpreendente sobre as mudanças de hábitos da criança. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar, por meio da literatura, o quanto a participação de pais e educadores como modelos pode impactar nas condições de saúde bucal dessa população. Tratou-se de uma revisão da literatura com pesquisa na base de dados Lilacs, Scielo e Medline; foram selecionadas publicações de 2010 a 2021, perfazendo um total de 27 textos analisados. Assim, a educação em saúde bucal de pais, educadores e responsáveis influencia na saúde bucal da criança e, quanto mais alto for o nível de educação em saúde dos envolvidos, menor será a incidência de doenças que acometem a cavidade bucal, como a cárie e doenças periodontais em crianças.---Abstract: The participation of both parents and educators has a surprising impact on children's changing habits. The aim of this study was to verify, through the literature, how much the participation of parents and educators as role models can impact the oral health conditions of this population. This was a literature review with a search in Lilacs, Scielo and Medline databases; publications from 2010 to 2021 were selected, totaling 27 texts analyzed. Finally, the oral health education of parents, educators and guardians influences the child's oral health and, the higher the level of health education of those involved, the lower the incidence of diseases that affect the oral cavity, such as caries and periodontal diseases in children.Keywords: Oral health education.

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.

Background: Pain experienced during dental procedures evolves into negative attitude towards dentistry, which is projected as anxiety and fear of the child. Administration of local anesthesia (L.A) although an intervention to render painless procedures, in itself causes pain by its conveyance. Wand® (Milestone Scientific, Livingston, NJ, USA) is a system introduced to decrease soreness in the course of anesthetic conveyance. Owing to the sparse information comparing conventional systems with those of Wand, the present study evaluated pain related behavior in children exhibiting pre-assessed variant levels of anxiety midst administration of local anesthesia. Aim: To correlate pain related behavior amidst delivery of local anesthesia using conventional syringe and the Wand® STA system in children exhibiting variant anxiety levels. Methodology: The In vivo study embodied 32 children aged between 6 to 8 years. The volunteered participants were pre-categorized into low and high anxiety using the Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale. They were further divided using the SNOSE technique – receiving L.A the conventional syringe (group A) and those receiving L.A using the C.C.L.A.D (group B). Pain reactions and perceptions to the two delivery methods were calculated using subjective scales and objective physiological parameters. Results: Comparing pain perception in pre-assessed anxiety categories affirmed a remarkable difference with the use of C.C.L.A.D and appeared to bestow effortless, pain-free delivery over the traditional cartridge delivery. Conclusion: C.C.L.A.D builds a refined acclivity for dispersal of the solution, ergo an utilitarian tool in pediatric dentistry.

Objective: Finding a balance between sedation efficacy and safety remains an ongoing challenge. In children, the risk of sedation-related complications is relatively high. It is of utmost importance to determine the factors related to improved overall sedation outcomes. However, most previous reports have been based on small samples at single institutions. The Korean Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (KAPD) developed a Korean Pediatric Dental Sedation Registry using a web-based platform. Study design: Specialists in pediatric dental sedation selected the itemized list included within the registry through an extensive literature review. The web-based registry was built into the KAPD homepage to facilitate easy access to the sedation data. All teaching and university hospitals agreed to participate in the Korean Pediatric Dental Sedation Registry. Conclusion: This is the first attempt to collect sedation data on a nationwide scale in the field of pediatric dentistry. The sedation database established with the registry may facilitate standardizing and improving pediatric dental sedation clinical practices.

Resumo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi discutir aspectos do bruxismo infantil através de uma revisão de literatura, abordando os fatores etiológicos bem como sinais, sintomas e características clínicas desta condição. É de grande importância o domínio dos sinais e sintomas para um diagnóstico mais preciso pelos profissionais da odontopediatria.  O  tratamento é multidisciplinar para esta condição parafuncional. Os resultados demonstraram ser o bruxismo um hábito não funcional da função mastigatória, que se caracteriza , pelo  ato de apertar ou ranger os dentes, ocorrendo tanto durante o dia como no momento do sono. A etiologia é multifatorial e a literatura apresenta diversos, tais como fatores associados: dentário, fisiológico,  psicológico e neurológico. O sinal mais comum é um certo desgaste nas  faces incisais, principalmente dos dentes anteriores e, oclusais nos dentes posteriores. Também tende a ocasionar hipersensibilidade dentária, fratura  de cúspides e restaurações e hipertonicidade dos músculos  mastigatórios.  Concluiu-se que conhecer os fatores etiológicos e as  características clínicas do bruxismo na infância é importante para um diagnóstico o mais  rápido possível, permitindo um tratamento precoce que favoreça o bem-estar da criança. Palavras-chave: bruxismo; crianças; odontopediatria.  Abstract: The aim of this study was to discuss aspects of childhood bruxism through a literature review, addressing the etiological factors as well as signs, symptoms and clinical characteristics of this condition. It is very important to master the signs and symptoms for a more accurate diagnosis by pediatric dentistry professionals. Treatment is multidisciplinary for this parafunctional condition. The results showed that bruxism is a non-functional habit of the masticatory function, which is characterized by the act of squeezing or grinding the teeth, occurring both during the day and during sleep. The etiology is multifactorial and the literature presents several, such as associated factors: dental, physiological, psychological and neurological. The most common sign is some wear on the incisal surfaces, especially on the anterior teeth, and occlusal on the posterior teeth. It also tends to cause tooth hypersensitivity, fracture of the cusps and restorations, and hypertonicity of masticatory muscles. It was concluded that knowing the etiological factors and clinical characteristics of bruxism in childhood is important for a diagnosis as quickly as possible, allowing an early treatment that favors the child's well-being.Keywords: bruxism; kids; pediatric dentistry.
