Pulp Treatment

The pulp treatment of primary and immature teeth in the children and adolescents is affected by the environment of the patients, clinical careers and dentists performing the techniques, as well as clinical modalities and pulpal diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of pulp treatment performed in real clinical practice, as well as the reasons behind the choice of treatment methods.The study was conducted on a total of 153 members of the Korean Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and statistical data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) from 2010 to 2018 were analyzed together. Both the survey results and the statistics from the HIRA showed that 1-visit pulpectomies of primary teeth were most common, and the frequency of the use of the Ni-Ti file was increased in children with primary or mixed-dentition. In the treatment of immature permanent teeth, regenerative endodontic treatment by individual dentists was found to be less frequent than in university hospitals.

Purpose: Leeway space is clinically crucial in pediatric dentistry because it is utilized to resolve tooth crowding and allow the first molars to drift mesially to establish a Class I molar relationship in the later stages of mixed dentition. This study investigated leeway space in the mixed dentition of Taiwanese children of different sexes and ages. Materials and Methods: The digital panoramic dental films of 182 lower arches of 119 boys and 63 girls aged 5–10 years were analyzed in this retrospective study. The mesiodistal crown widths of the primary canines and first and second molars and the permanent canines and first and second premolars were measured using medical imaging software. Differences in leeway space were statistically analyzed. Results: The average leeway space was 1.29 ± 1.48 mm on each side of the lower arch. The leeway space of children aged 5–6 years was significantly greater than that of children aged 7–8 years. No gender difference in crown width was discovered, except with regard to the primary first molar. Although no gender difference in leeway space was observed, permanent teeth affected leeway space more for girls than for boys. Conclusion: In Taiwanese children, although leeway space does not differ by sex, age affects leeway space. However, permanent tooth size has an influence on the leeway space of girls.

Caries Treatment

Caries was qualified by UN as non-communicable disease – NCD. It can be avoided by preventive measures. Especially, deep caries lesions in immature permanent teeth constitute a serious clinical problem for contemporary pediatric dentistry. It is caused by a different anatomical and histological structure compared to mature permanent teeth. The aim of the study was to present contemporary methods of deep caries treatment in histologically and morphologically immature teeth with currently used materials. The literature review was based on Pubmed and Elsevier databases (2005-2018) and two articles out-of-range. The search criteria were: “caries”, “remineralization”, “indirect capping” and “immature teeth”. Development in medicine and biomedical science leads to creating more modern procedural records when it comes to deep caries treatment. They are based on minimally invasive dentistry. Development of bioengineering enables creation of more biocompatible materials which do not have irritating influence on dental pulp. These materials allow deeper remineralization of dental tissues. Deep caries treatment still involves usage of restorations with calcium hydroxide, zinc oxide with eugenol and glass ionomers. Good cooperation with patient, prospects of early diagnosis, and regular examinations of treated teeth have great impact on success of treatment. Further research on methods of diagnosis and treatment needs to be carried out. They should allow regeneration of early qualitative changes to avoid quantitative damages in a tooth’s hard tissue.

Abstract Background To assess the resolution of clinical symptoms and radiographic changes in root length and apical diameter in immature permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis or apical periodontitis with vital inflamed pulp therapy (VIPT).Methods The faculty members at the Ninth People’s Hospital pediatric dentistry department were invited to submit consecutive VIPT cases treated by them, irrespective of outcome, between 2014 and 2016. Clinical success rate, radiographic changes in periapical radiolucency, and apical closure were analyzed, and radiographic changes in the apical diameter and root length were quantified.Results Thirteen of 14 submitted cases of irreversible pulpitis in immature teeth met the inclusion criteria. The follow-up period ranged from 17 to 37 (average, 26.5 ± 7) months. All 13 treated teeth (100%) survived and 12 (92.3%) met the clinical criteria for success throughout the follow-up period, with 92.3% of cases (12 of 13) showing a significant periapical radiolucency decrease and 84.6% (11 of 13) showing complete apical closure at the last visit. The change in apical diameter and root length were obvious. Conclusions Vital inflamed pulp therapy approaches might be of particular value in restoring root development and apical closure and can be an option in treating immature teeth with irreversible pulpitis, even apical periodontitis.

Relevance. To study the incidence of different types of resorption of multirooted primary teeth, to specify indications for deciduous molar extraction to prevent eruption abnormalities of permanent posterior teeth in mixed dentition.Materials and methods. Root resorption of 375 multirooted primary teeth (166 first primary molars and 209 second primary molars) was studied on panoramic X-rays of 60 children (30 girls and 30 boys) aged between 7 and 15. Illustrated classification by T.F. Vinogradova (1967) improved by authors was used to determine type and degree of root resorption of multi-rooted primary teeth. Received data were described with absolute values of number of cases and percentage. Chi-square was used to detect differences in sign incidence rate between groups, p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results. There were no statistically significant gender differences (p>0,05) in type and degree of root resorption of multirooted primary teeth. Type A resorption prevailed and constituted 53.3% of all primary molars. Disturbances in root resorption of multirooted primary teeth in mixed dentition were related to health condition of primary teeth. Transition of even resorption to unven was considered a risk factor of delayed eruption and aberrant position of permanent teeth, and indication for extraction of a primary molar in question. Conclusions. 1) Even root resorption (type A) was detected in 53.3% of primary molars in mixed dentition by orthopantomography. 2) Transition from even resorption of primary molar roots to uneven resorption was associated with eruption deviations and delayed premolar eruption. 3) Timely extraction of primary molars with uneven root resorption facilitated correct eruption of premolars and increased effectiveness of secondary prevention of malocclusion in children.

Tissue engineering is a growing field. In the near future, it will probably be possible to generate a complete vital tooth from a single stem cell. Pulp revascularization is dependent on the ability of residual pulp and apical and periodontal stem cells to differentiate. These cells have the ability to generate a highly vascularized and a conjunctive rich living tissue. This one is able to colonize the available pulp space. Revascularization is a new treatment method for immature necrotic permanent teeth. Up to now, apexification procedures were applied for these teeth, using calcium dihydroxide or MTA to produce an artificial apical barrier. However, the pulp revascularization allows the stimulation of the apical development and the root maturation of immature teeth. Two pulp revascularization techniques are used in the literature, one using calcium dihydroxide and the second using a triple antibiotic paste. Based on these two different pulp revascularization protocols, which obtain the desired therapeutic success, the literature will be reviewed and analyzed according to the relevance of their choice of materials. Based on the literature, we propose a new relevant protocol and a new mixture of antibiotics.

Objective: The objective of this paper was to describe the oral conditions of two children accompanied by their mothers who reported to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry of Fluminense Federal University with Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS). Case report: The 9-year-old female patient had a family and medical history significant for placental abruption, caesarean section, delayed psychomotor development, learning disabilities, tendency to selfdistract and congenital heart disease. In contrast, the 7-year-old male patient had a normal birth and no gestational intercurrences. Discussion: Clinically, the female presented with mixed dentition, crowding in the maxillary and mandibular arches, prolonged retention of deciduous teeth, anterior and posterior cross-bite and Angle Class I malocclusion, while the male had mixed dentition and retarded psychomotor development. Due to the patients having congenital heart disease, a prophylactic antibiotic regimen was prescribed prior to the dental procedures in both of them. Conclusion: These patients had been followed up for 2 years and this case report underscores the importance of early dental evaluation and counselling for parents of WBS patients.KeywordsWilliams Beuren syndrome; Oral manifestations; Child.
