RESUMO
Objetivo: La enfermedad de Caffey o hiperostosis cor- tical infantil es una enfermedad rara que afecta uno o más huesos en los primeros meses de vida y debido a su baja inci- dencia está subdiagnosticada, y por tanto se aplican procedi- mientos invasivos innecesarios en su estudio y tratamiento. Se presenta un caso clínico atípico de enfermedad de Caffey en una paciente mayor de 1 año de edad y su resolución. Caso clínico: El servicio de Cirugía Maxilofacial del Hospital Provincial Pediátrico Eduardo Agramonte Piña de Camagüey, Cuba, atiende a una niña de 1 año y 10 meses que se encontraba hospitalizada por presentar una inflamación alarmante en la región facial y cervical precedida de un cua- dro febril y dificultad para alimentarse. Se indicaron los estu- dios apropiados, cuyos resultados, junto a las características clínicas, permitieron diagnosticar la enfermedad de Caffey. Aunque sea una enfermedad rara, es importante estudiarla para realizar un correcto análisis de cada caso y diferenciarla de otras enfermedades que requieren de conductas terapéuti- cas agresivas (AU)
Aim: Caffey's disease or infantile cortical hyperostosis is a rare disease that affects one or more bones in the first months of life and due to its low incidence, it is underdiag- nosed, and therefore unnecessary invasive procedures are applied in its study and treatment. An atypical clinical case of Caffey's disease in a patient older than 1 year and its reso- lution is presented. Case report: The Maxillofacial Surgery service of the Eduardo Agramonte Piña Provincial Pediatric Hospital in Camagüey, Cuba, takes the case of a 1 year and 10-month-old female patient who was hospitalized for an alarming inflam- mation in the facial and cervical region, preceded by a fever and difficulty to eat. The appropriate studies were indicated, which results, together with the clinical characteristics, al- lowed the diagnosis of Caffey's disease. Although it is a rare entity, it is important to study it to carry out a correct analysis of each case and differentiate it from other diseases that re- quire aggressive therapeutic behaviors (AU)

AIM: This systematic review aims to assess effectiveness of oral health policies, recommendations and guidelines in safeguarding oral health of children with special healthcare needs during COVID-19. BACKGROUND: This systematic review evaluated the adaptation of global oral health policies for children with special healthcare needs (SHCN) during the COVID-19 pandemic, to provide evidence-based insights to inform policymakers and healthcare providers amid the ongoing global health crisis. The study focused on assessing the effectiveness of these adaptations in ensuring equitable access to quality dental care for this vulnerable group. METHODS: A PRISMA guided online search through LILIACS, PubMed, Scopus, COCHRANE and grey literature was conducted. The search strategy incorporated a combination of subject headings (MeSH terms) and free-text terms related to "oral health," "dental health," "policy," "effectiveness," "dental practice guidelines," "oral health policies," and "special care needs children." Eligibility criteria included oral health policies, recommendations and guidelines targeting individuals/children with special care needs. Both qualitative and quantitative studies published in English from 2008 to 2023 were included. RESULTS: Sixteen guidelines, recommendations and policies, from six authorities were identified. These documentations addressed six different areas mentioned broadly as comprehensive care, ethical considerations, preventive and therapeutic measures, equity, patient-centric treatment, and reducing disparities signaling a paradigm shift. International collaborations and standardization of guidelines indicated a unified approach. The review also emphasized on a commitment to continuous improvement through quality measurement, systematic referral management, and needs assessment. With the exception of two documents, the remaining guidelines did not address COVID-19 or provide specific adaptations for it. The lack of emphasis on individual condition was notable, as the guidelines generally took a more generalized approach toward individuals with special healthcare needs. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, this review assessed the impact of COVID-19 on oral healthcare for individuals with special needs. It underscores global and local efforts for equitable access, patient-centric care, and preventive measures. The lessons learned advocate for a resilient, inclusive healthcare framework capable of meeting diverse needs. PROSPERO REGISTRATION: CRD 42023452475.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess and analyse the pattern of dental treatment services and their characteristics provided to children by evaluating the clinical use of materials and prevalence in material research in a major postgraduate paediatric tertiary care hospital in India over three years. Material and Methods: Institutionally approved retrospective analysis was conducted by auditing the clinical records of 2644 patients who visited and had treatment in the Outpatient and Inpatient Department of Paedodontics and Preventive Dentistry from January 2017 to December 2019. Clinical logbooks of postgraduate students were analysed by crosschecking with the department's data warehouse. Results: Out of the 2644 children who had treatment, more than two-thirds of them were in the age group of 4-7 years old. Around 5.6% of the patients were specially-abled children. Extraction (33.5%) was the most common treatment, followed by restorative treatment (29.1%). Endodontic treatment had a prevalence of 19.8%, with a reduced prevalence of preventive treatment care (0.5%). Patients who had traumatic tooth management included 2.8% of the study population. The prevalence of preventive care was found to be 2.1%. The teaching curriculum with theoretical and clinical skill practices was under the country's assigned authority. Conclusion: Despite advancements in paediatric dentistry, more children had extraction treatment with less observed utilization of preventive care. The widening of the training prospectus includes comprehensive care and an amplified focus on preventive care in the academic curriculum of paediatric postgraduates, which is the need of the hour.

AIM: The aim of this study was to examine whether screening content through virtual reality (VR) goggles can diminish pain perception during local anaesthesia administered using the inferior alveolar nerve block technique and rubber dam placement in routine paediatric dental treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a crossover study of healthy 4- to 12-year-old children who were scheduled to receive local anaesthesia administered using the inferior alveolar nerve block technique and rubber dam placement in 2 visits. The participants were randomly assigned to undergo 1 treatment performed with Oculus GO VR goggles and the other treatment without. Pain was evaluated using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale and the Modified Behavioral Pain Scale (MBPS). RESULTS: The study group included 29 children with a mean age of 8.29 years (SD, 1.96). Whilst administering local anaesthesia, no significant difference was observed in the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale and in MBPS movements between visits with and without the VR goggles. However, significantly lower pain perception was observed in the other parameters of MBPS when using the VR goggles: Face (P = .007) and Cry (P = .046). During placement of a rubber dam, significantly less pain was reported by the patients (P = .005) and observed by the assessor (Face [P = .005], Cry [P = .029], and Movement [P = 0.028]) when the VR goggles were used. CONCLUSIONS: VR can decrease pain perception during rubber dam placement in children, but it has limited benefit during administration of local anaesthesia.

Se identificó el perfil epidemiológico y se caracterizó la situación de la población en base al Nivel Socio-Económico (NSE) asociado al estado dentario y se es-tablecieron las zonas geográficas de pacientes que asistieron a la Cátedra Odontología Integral Niños (COIN) de FOUBA durante el año 2019. La muestra total se conformó con 541 niños de 9,2±3,3 años; masculi-nos 51,0%. La segmentación de los estratos sociales dio como resultado que del total de pacientes, el 33,3% perteneció a Clase Baja D2/E, el 39,2% a Clase Baja Superior D1, el 22,4% a Clase Media Baja C3, el 4% a Clase Media Alta C2 y el 1,1% a Clase Alta ABC1. La mayor demanda de atención provino de las dos clases más bajas de la pirámide social, aunque se trata de un servicio arancelado. Los indicadores del estado den-tario ceod, ceos, CPOD y CPOS, indicaron que los niños de menor posición socioeconómica presentaron los índices más altos. La mayor concurrencia provino de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (52%), respecto a los pacientes concurrentes del Gran Buenos Aires (37%), el 80% provino de la zona Oeste y Sur (AU)
The epidemiological profile was identified, and the situation of the population was characterized based on Socio-Economic Status (SES) associated with their dental state. Geographical areas of patients who attended the FOUBA Children's Comprehensive Dentistry Chair during 2019 were established. The total sample consisted of 541 children aged 9.2±3.3 years; males 51.0%. The segmentation of the social strata resulted in 33.3% belonging to Low-Class D2/E, 39.2% to Upper Lower-Class D1, 22.4% to Lower Middle-Class C3, 4% to Upper Middle-Class C2, and 1.1% to Upper-Class ABC1. The largest demand for care came from the two lowest classes of the social pyramid, even though it is a fee-based service. The indicators of dental status dmft, dmfs, DMFT and DMFS, showed that children coming from the lowest socio-economic position presented the highest rate of occurrence. The highest attendance came from the City of Buenos Aires (52%), compared to patients from Buenos Aires suburbs (37%), of which 80% were from the Western and Southern suburbs (AU)

La dentinogénesis imperfecta (DI) es un desorden hereditario de carácter autosómico dominante, que se origina durante la etapa de histodiferenciación en el desarrollo dental y altera la formación de la denti-na. Se considera una displasia dentinaria que puede afectar ambas denticiones con una incidencia de 1 en 6000 a 8000 nacimientos. El tratamiento del pa-ciente con DI es complejo y multidisciplinario, supone un desafío para el odontólogo, ya que por lo general están involucradas todas las piezas dentarias y afec-ta no solo la salud buco dental sino el aspecto emo-cional y psicológico de los pacientes. Objetivo: des-cribir el tratamiento integral y rehabilitador realiza-do en una paciente adolescente con diagnóstico de DI tipo I. Relato del caso: Paciente de sexo femenino de 14 años, que concurrió en demanda de atención a la Cátedra de Odontología Integral Niños de la FOU-BA derivada del Hospital "Prof. Dr. Juan P. Garrahan" con diagnóstico de osteogénesis imperfecta tipo III (OI). Nunca recibió atención odontológica y el motivo de consulta fue la apariencia estética de sus piezas dentarias. Se realizó el examen clínico y radiográfico arrojando el diagnóstico de DI tipo I asociada a OI. Conclusión: El tratamiento rehabilitador de la DI tipo I en los pacientes en crecimiento y desarrollo debe estar dirigido a intervenir de manera integral y tem-prana para resolver la apariencia estética y funcio-nal, evitar las repercusiones sociales y emocionales y acompañar a los pacientes y sus familias (AU)
Dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder that originates during the histodifferentiation stage of tooth development and alters dentin formation. It is considered a den-tin dysplasia that can affect both dentitions with an incidence of 1 in 6000 to 8000 births. The treatment of patients with DI is complex and multidisciplinary, it is a challenge for the dentist, since in general all the teeth are involved and it affects not only oral health but also the emotional and psychological aspect of the patients. Objective: To describe the comprehen-sive and rehabilitative treatment carried out in an adolescent patient with a diagnosis of DI type I. Case report: A 14-year-old female patient, who required dental attention at the Department of Pediatric Den-tistry of FOUBA and was referred from the Hospital "Prof. Dr. Juan P. Garrahan" with a diagnosis of os-teogenesis imperfecta type III (OI). The patient never received dental care and the reason for consultation was esthetic appearance of her teeth. A clinical and radiographic examination was performed, resulting in a diagnosis of DI type I associated with OI. Conclu-sion: Rehabilitative treatment of DI in growing and developing patients will be aimed at early and com-prehensive intervention to resolve esthetic and func-tional appearance, avoid social and emotional reper-cussions and accompany patients and their families (AU)

La amelogénesis imperfecta (AI) es un grupo de tras-tornos hereditarios, clínica y etiológicamente hete-rogéneos, derivados de mutaciones genéticas, que se caracterizan por anomalías cualitativas y cuanti-tativas del desarrollo del esmalte, pudiendo afectar la dentición primaria y/o permanente. El tratamiento del paciente con AI es complejo y multidiscliplinario; supone un desafío para el odontólogo, ya que por lo general están involucradas todas las piezas dentarias y afecta no solo la salud buco dental sino el aspecto emocional y psicológico de los pacientes. Con el obje-tivo de describir el tratamiento integral y rehabilita-dor realizado en una paciente con diagnóstico de AI tipo III, se reporta el caso de un adolescente de sexo femenino de 13 años, que concurrió en demanda de atención a la Cátedra de Odontología Integral Niños de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (FOUBA), cuyo motivo de consulta fue la apariencia estética y la hipersensibilidad de sus pie-zas dentarias. Durante el examen clínico intraoral, se observó que todas las piezas dentarias presentaban un esmalte rugoso, blando, con irregularidades y una coloración amarronada, compatible con diagnóstico de Amelogénesis Imperfecta tipo III hipomineralizada. Conclusión: El tratamiento rehabilitador de la AI en los pacientes en crecimiento y desarrollo estará diri-gido a intervenir de manera integral y temprana para resolver la apariencia estética y funcional, evitar las repercusiones sociales y emocionales, y acompañar a los pacientes y sus familias (AU)
Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a group of clinically and etiologically heterogeneous hereditary disorders, derived from genetic mutations, characterized by qualitative and quantitative anomalies of enamel development, which can affect primary and/or permanent dentition. The treatment of patients with AI is complex and multidisciplinary, it is a challenge for the dentist, since in general all the teeth are involved and it affects not only oral health but also the emotional and psychological aspect of the patients. Objective: To describe the comprehensive and rehabilitative treatment carried out in an adolescent patient with a diagnosis of type III AI. Case report: The case of a 13-year-old female patient, who required dental attention at the Department of Dentistry for Children of the School of Dentistry of the University of Buenos Aires, whose reason for consultation was esthetic appearance and hypersensitivity of her teeth. In the intraoral clinical examination, it was observed that all the teeth had rough, soft enamel, with irregularities and a brownish color, compatible with the diagnosis of type III hypomineralized Amelogenesis Imperfecta. Conclusion: Rehabilitative treatment of AI in growing and developing patients will be aimed at early and comprehensive intervention to resolve esthetic and functional appearance, avoid social and emotional repercussions and accompany patients and their families (AU)

Objetivo: Comparar clínicamente el comportamiento, el tiempo operatorio requerido, el costo y la dificultad de diferentes técnicas de restauración en piezas primarias, empleando ionómero vítreo fotoactivado (IVF) polvo/líquido, con y sin uso de acondicionamiento dentinario, y en cápsulas, con acondicionamiento. Materiales y métodos: El diseño de este estudio fue experimental y comparativo. Se realizaron, en 18 pacientes de 7±2 años, 33 restauraciones con IVF de una o más piezas primarias vitales con lesiones amelodentinarias en 1 o 2 superficies. Según su día de concurrencia a la Cátedra de Odontología Integral Niños, se empleó: A) IVF polvo/líquido, con acondicionamiento (3M™ VitremerTM); B) IVF polvo/líquido, sin acondicionamiento (3M™ VitremerTM); y C) IVF en cápsulas, con acondicionamiento (Riva Light Cure). Las restauraciones fueron evaluadas clínicamente al inicio y a los 12 meses según los siguientes criterios: pérdida total, pérdida total con caries, requerimiento de reemplazo por pérdida parcial, requerimiento de reemplazo por caries, aceptable con deterioro, en condiciones. El grado de dificultad se analizó utilizando una planilla diseñada para tal fin. El tiempo operatorio requerido se midió sin considerar el tiempo de inserción. Resultados: El tiempo operatorio requerido fue de 2 minutos, 15 segundos en A; 1 minuto, 25 segundos en B; y 1 minuto, 10 segundos en C, sin considerar el tiempo de inserción. El costo fue 61,11% mayor para C. La dificultad fue de 3,2±0,6 para A y B, y de 1,5±0,7 para C (ANOVA; P<0,001). El comportamiento clínico no registró diferencias significativas entre los grupos (Fisher; P=0,339). Conclusión: Los ionómeros de restauración fotoactivados encapsulados utilizados en este estudio presentaron menor dificultad de manipulación, mayor costo y similar comportamiento clínico a un año que las presentaciones polvo-líquido, con o sin uso de acondicionamiento previo en piezas primarias (AU)
Aim: To assess the clinical performance, operative time required, cost and technical difficulties of different restorative techniques in primary teeth, using light cured glass ionomers (LCG), powder/liquid, with and without dentin conditioning and light cured glass ionomer in capsules with conditioning. Materials and methods: The design of this study was experimental and comparative. 33 restorations with LCG were performed in 18 patients, 7 ± 2-years-old, in one or more vital primary teeth with carious lesions involving one or more tooth surfaces. Patients were assigned to one of the three groups according to the day of the week in which they attended to the Pediatric Department of the Dental School: A) LCG powder/liquid, with conditioning (3M™ VitremerTM); B) LCG powder/liquid without conditioning (3M™ VitremerTM); and C) LCG in capsules with conditioning (Riva Light Cure). The restorations were clinically evaluated at baseline and after 12 months according to the following criteria: complete loss of the restoration, complete loss with caries, need of replacement because of partial loss, need of replacement because of caries, good condition with some wear and good condition. Technical difficulties were analyzed using a data sheet designed for that purpose. The operative time required was evaluated without considering the insertion time. Results: Time operative time required was 2 minutes 15 seconds in A, 1 minute 25 seconds in B and 1 minute 10 seconds in C. Cost was 61.11% higher for C. Difficulty was 3.2±0.6 for A and B and 1.5±0.7 for C (ANOVA; P<0.001). No significant differences were observed among the three groups in relation to the clinical performance (Fisher; P=0.339). Conclusions: In these 12 months, study in primary teeth, the light cured glass ionomers used dispensed in capsules showed to be the easiest to handle, had higher cost and similar clinical performance than the powder liquid presentations with and without dentin conditioner (AU)

PURPOSE: Negative experiences in dental clinics can induce anxiety in patients, and the effects are particularly pronounced in children. When behavior guidance methods (eg, direct observation, tell-show-do, and ask-tell-ask) fail, general anesthesia is an important alternative; however, the procedure of anesthesia can also induce fear and anxiety. This study assessed the effectiveness of guided imagery in relieving the anxiety associated with dental surgery in children and caregivers. DESIGN: A prospective randomized trial with two groups. METHODS: The guided imagery in this study was meant to establish a rapport between the medical team and the patient, by encouraging the child to imagine having an adventure while riding in a spacecraft. Anxiety levels and behavior were measured using five well-established scales: the modified Yale Preoperative Scale-Short Form, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-6 items, the Watcha score, the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergent Delirium scale, and the Posthospitalization Behavioral Questionnaire-Ambulatory Surgery. FINDINGS: The results indicate that the guided imagery had no significant effects on anxiety levels. CONCLUSIONS: Guided imagery is a low-cost, easy-to-implement, interesting exercise capable of enhancing interactions between nursing staff and children. It may also help to condition children to the environment and thereby assist them in overcoming their fears.

Se encontraram diferenças estatisticamente significativas nos valores da pressão arterial (sístole, p=0,000 e diástole, p=0,007) e frequência cardíaca final (p= 0,001), assim como na redução dos níveis de ansiedade final no grupo exposto à musicoterapia (p=0,001). Conclusão: O uso da musicoterapia diminuiu significativamente os níveis da ansiedade durante o atendimento odontológico nos pacientes com discapacidades
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of music therapy in reducing dental anxiety in children with disabilities between 5 and 12 years old during dental care. Materials and methods: Quasi-experimental study. 40 patients were evaluated, randomly divided into 2 groups: a group exposed to music therapy and a group not exposed to it. The levels of anxiety were registered using the Facial Image Scale before and after the dental care, the behaviour during dental care using the Frank Scale and the level of anxiety of the parents using the Modified Corah Scale. The vital functions of both groups were registered before and after the dental care. The data analysis was performed using descriptive analysis (media ± standard deviation) and inferential analysis: T- Student test and Chi square (p<0,05). Results: It was found that the initial/final blood pressure in the exposed group was (Systole: 108.75 ± 8.56/ 95.50 ± 6.86, Diastole: 67.75 ± 7.15/ 57.75 ± 6.38), and in the unexposed group (Systole: 101.75 ± 8.77/ 110.15 ± 13.31, Diastole: 59.20 ± 6.08), and the initial/final heart rate in the exposed group was (72.30 ± 7.18/ 63.95 ± 6.12); and in the unexposed group (66.50 ± 9.88/ 73.90 ± 11.46). Statistically significant differences were found in the values of blood pressure (systole, p=0,000 y diastole, p=0,007) and heart rate (p= 0,001), as well as a reduction in the levels of anxiety in the exposed group to music therapy (p=0,001). Conclusion: The use of Music therapy significantly reduces levels of anxiety during dental care in patients with disabilities.

Diversas técnicas convencionales han sido utilizadas con gran eficacia; sin embargo, la no aceptación de algunas de ellas por los padres, ciertos condicionamientos éticos y legales así como cambios en la educación actual y el avance en nuevas tecnologías, obligan al odontólogo a un replanteamiento de actitudes. Objetivo: El objetivo del presente trabajo es identificar qué técnicas alternativas son empleadas en la clínica dental por los profesionales para el manejo de la conducta de pacientes infantiles. Material y métodos: Se realizó un cuestionario en la plataforma de Google, remitido vía email a 190 odonto/estomatólogos que tratasen pacientes infantiles, obteniendo una participación de 132 encuestas adecuadas para el análisis de 6 técnicas alternativas de manejo de la conducta. El estudio estadístico se realizó en el programa SPSS aplicando el test de ANOVA para una significación de p= 0,05. Resultados: Un 35,1% de los encuestados utilizaban medios audiovisuales para el tratamiento dental, siendo la televisión el más frecuentemente empleado. La musicoterapia fue la técnica más utilizada (70,5% de los participantes) con mayor frecuencia del sexo femenino, aunque sin diferencias significativas, siendo la música moderna la de mayor aceptación. Un 32,8% utilizaron la ludoterapia como técnica de manejo seguida del empleo de técnicas de relajación con un 25%, ambas con mayor porcentaje femenino. Las dos técnicas menos utilizadas fueron la aromaterapia (6,8%) y la hipnosis (2,3%). Conclusiones: A pesar del incremento en la utilización de técnicas alternativas en el manejo de la conducta, todavía su empleo es escaso por los odonto/estomatólogos.
Várias técnicas convencionais têm sido usadas com grande eficácia; contudo, a não aceitação de algumas delas pelos pais, certas condições éticas e legais, assim como as mudanças na educação atual e o avanço das novas tecnologias, forçam o dentista a repensar as atitudes. Objetivo: O objetivo do presente estudo é identificar quais técnicas alternativas são utilizadas na clínica odontológica por profissionais para gerenciar o comportamento de pacientes infantis. Material e métodos: Foi realizado um questionário na plataforma Google, enviado por e-mail a 190 dentistas/stomatologistas que trataram crianças, obtendo 132 pesquisas adequadas para a análise de 6 técnicas alternativas de gestão comportamental. O estudo estatístico foi realizado no programa SPSS aplicando o teste ANOVA para uma significância de p= 0,05. Resultados: 35,1% dos inquiridos utilizaram meios audiovisuais para tratamento dentário, sendo a televisão a mais frequentemente utilizada. A musicoterapia foi a técnica mais utilizada (70,5% dos participantes) pelo sexo feminino, embora sem diferenças significativas, sendo a música moderna a mais amplamente aceita. 32,8% utilizaram a terapia lúdica como técnica de gestão seguida do uso de técnicas de relaxamento com 25%, ambas com uma percentagem maior de mulheres. As duas técnicas menos utilizadas foram a aromaterapia (6,8%) e a hipnose (2,3%). Conclusões: Apesar do aumento do uso de técnicas alternativas na gestão do comportamento, o seu uso ainda é escasso pelos odontologistas/estomatologistas.
Various conventional techniques have been used with great efficiency; nevertheless, the non-acceptance of some of them by the parents, certain ethical and legal conditions as well as changes in the current education and the advance in new technologies, force the dentist to a rethinking of attitudes. Aim: The aim of this paper is to identify what alternative techniques are used by professionals for the behavior's management of pediatric patients in the dental clinic. Material and methods: A questionnaire was carried out on the Google platform, sent via email to 190 odonto / stomatologists who treated pediatric patients, obtaining a participation of 132 appropriate surveys for the analysis of 6 alternative behavior management techniques. The statistical study was carried out in the SPSS program, applying the ANOVA test for a significance of p = 0.05. Results: 35.1% of respondents used audiovisual media for dental treatment, being television the most frequently used. Music therapy was the most applied technique (70.5% of the participants) with the highest frequency of female sex, without significant differences though, being modern music the most widely accepted. 32.8% used play therapy as a management technique followed by the use of relaxation techniques with 25%, both with a higher female percentage. The two least used techniques were aromatherapy (6.8%) and hypnosis (2.3%). Conclusions: Despite the increase in the use of alternative techniques in behavior management, their use is still scarce by dentists / stomatologists.

Case report: This article presents the case of an 11-year-old patient who sought orthodontic treatment, complaining of crooked teeth. In anamnesis, an emotional and physical dependence was reported regarding the act of breastfeeding. Considerations on the diagnosis, psychological implications, and clinical approach in this rare case were addressed. An orthodontic treatment and myofunctional therapy were performed to resolve the occlusal and functional aspects of the patient. Psychological therapy for the child and her mother was required to handle emotional sequelae. Conclusion: Multidisciplinary treatment was prescribed. Dentists should be aware of this need in cases of patients with special characteristics for treatment beyond oral problems. In orthodontics, this may be the difference between effective treatment outcomes or not.
Relato de caso: Este artigo apresenta o caso de uma paciente de 11 anos que procurou tratamento ortodôntico com queixa de "dentes tortos". Na anamnese, foi relatada dependência emocional e física da criança em relação ao ato de amamentar. Considerações sobre diagnóstico, implicações psicológicas, abordagem clínica neste raro caso foram abordadas. Foi realizado tratamento ortodôntico e terapia miofuncional para resolução dos aspectos oclusais e funcionais do paciente. Um acompanhamento psicológico para crianças e sua mãe foi necessária para abordar sequelas emocionais inerentes. Conclusão: Um tratamento multiprofissional foi instituído e o dentista deve estar atento a essa necessidade nos casos de pacientes com características especiais, visando uma abordagem além dos problemas bucais. Na Ortodontia, essa pode ser a diferença entre os resultados eficazes do tratamento ou não.

La American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (2020) define a la caries temprana de la infancia (CTI) como una forma severa de caries de etiología multifactorial que compromete la dentición primaria de niños pre-escolares. Afecta principalmente a los incisivos primarios superiores seguidos de los primeros molares primarios, pudiendo promover el desarrollo de hábitos parafuncionales, reducción de la eficacia masticatoria, pérdida de la dimensión vertical, alteraciones en la fonación y defectos estéticos que causan repercusiones emocionales e impacto psicosocial. La insuficiente cantidad y calidad de estructura coronaria remanente, luego de la eliminación del tejido cariado, puede comprometer la adhesión de los materiales de restauración. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar la atención y el seguimiento a dos años de un paciente preescolar que presenta CTI, que concurrió para su atención a la Cátedra de Odontología Integral Niños de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (AU)

BACKGROUND: Dental caries are the most common chronic condition of childhood and have significant medical, psychological, and financial consequences. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends primary care physicians apply fluoride varnish (FV) every 3 to 6 months from tooth emergence through age 5. OBJECTIVE: Through a resident-led quality improvement (QI) project, we aimed to provide FV to 50% of patients ages 1 through 5 who did not have a dental visit in the preceding 6 months or receive FV elsewhere in the past month. METHODS: From May 2017 through April 2018, we conducted 7 monthly plan-do-study-act cycles to improve our primary outcome measure (FV application), secondary outcome measure (percentage of patients who had routine dental care), and process measure (percentage of dental referrals). Balancing measures included time taken away from other clinical priorities and reimbursement rates. RESULTS: Fluoride varnish application improved from 3.6% to 44% with a 54% peak. The percentage of patients under 6 who had seen a dentist in the past 6 months increased from 30% to 47%. The percentage of dental referrals increased from 17% to 33%. CONCLUSIONS: Application of FV is a quick, cost-effective way for primary care providers to improve dental health. This resident-led QI project increased rates of FV application, dental referrals, and dental visits while meeting ACGME guidelines for experiential learning in QI. By adapting to state-specific guidelines and workflows of each clinic, this QI project could be nationally reproduced to improve adherence to AAP and United States Preventive Services Task Force guidelines.

Pulpectomies in primary molars are often hindered by several factors, including anatomical and physiological characteristics of posterior primary teeth and young patients' lack of cooperation with laborious treatments. This study was undertaken in search of easier but equally effective therapies that could eliminate infection, preserve the teeth and avoid extractions. The aim of the study was to estimate and compare clinical and radiographic success between pulp treatment with 3MixMP and pulpectomy with MaistoCapurro paste in primary necrotic molars. A longitudinal prospective study was conducted at the Department of Comprehensive Pediatric Dentistry of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Buenos Aires (20152017). The study included 46 primary molars with necrotic pulp of children without immune or metabolic compromise. Children and their legal guardians provided assent and informed consent. Selected molars were randomly divided into 2 groups: G1: Pulpectomy treatment with MaistoCapurro paste; and G2: Treatment with 3MixMP paste. Treatments were evaluated at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 18 months (intra and interrater agreement 0.92 and 0.84). Clinical success was considered to be the absence of any of the following: pain, sensitivity to percussion or palpation, swelling, fistula and nonphysiological mobility, while radiographic success was considered to be: absence of internal or external nonphysiological resorption, no progression or reduction of radiolucent periapical/interradicular lesion and evidence of bone regeneration. Percentages, 95% C.I., and CHI2 were calculated for the comparison between groups. Overall clinical success was 91.5% and 87.5% (p=0.48) and overall radiographic success was 88.3% and 82.3% (p=0.31) for G1 and G2 respectively. No significant clinical or radiographic difference was found between groups. Both treatments showed similar clinical and radiographic behavior during the study period (AU)
Las pulpectomías en molares primarios se ven dificultadas frecuentemente por las características anatómicas y fisiológicas de éstos y por la escasa colaboración que brindan los pacientes de corta edad ante tratamientos tan laboriosos. En búsqueda de terapéuticas más sencillas, pero igualmente eficaces, que consigan eliminar la infección para conservar las piezas y evitar las exodoncias, se ha planteado como objetivo de este estudio: estimar y comparar la proporción de éxito clínico y radiográfico entre el tratamiento pulpar con 3MixMP y la pulpectomía con pasta de MaistoCapurro en molares primarios con necrosis. Se realizó un estudio longitudinal y prospectivo en la Cátedra de Odontología Integral Niños de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (2015 2017). Formaron parte del estudio 46 molares primarios con diagnóstico de necrosis pulpar, de niños sin compromiso inmunológico ni metabólico y que junto con sus responsables legales brindaron el asentimiento y el consentimiento informado. Los molares seleccionados fueron divididos aleatoriamente en 2 grupos: G1: Tratamiento de pulpectomía con pasta de MaistoCapurro y G2: Tratamiento con pasta 3MixMP. Los tratamientos fueron evaluados al mes, 3, 6, 12 y 18 meses (concordancia intraexaminador 0,92 e interexaminador 0,84), considerando como éxito clínico la ausencia de dolor, sensibilidad a la percusión y palpación, edema, fístula y movilidad no fisiológica; y como éxito radiográfico, ausencia de reabsorción interna o externa no fisiológica, no progresión o reducción de la lesión radiolúcida interradicular/periapical y evidencia de regeneración ósea. Se calcularon porcentajes, I.C 95% y CHI2 para la comparación. El éxito clínico global fue de 91,5% y 87,5% (p=0.48) y el éxito radiográfico global de 88,3% y 82,3% (p=0.31) para G1 y G2 respectivamente, sin diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos. En los periodos estudiados ambos tratamientos mostraron comportamientos clínico y radiográfico semejantes (AU)

The aim of this study was to provide an updated review of dental procedures undertaken at the dental unit of the Onco-hematology service of the Instituto da Criança at the Hospital das Clínicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de São Paulo (ICr/HC-FMUSP). We retrospectively reviewed 565 of 1902 medical and dental records of patients diagnosed with onco-hematological diseases who were seen in a 3-year study (January 2015 to December 2017). We assessed data regarding population characteristics, onco-hematological diagnosis and dental procedures performed. Of the selected medical records, preventive dentistry was the most common procedure undertaken in this population, followed by oral maxillofacial surgeries, restorative dentistry and oral mucositis treatment. The most prevalent malignant diagnosis was acute lymphocytic leukemia, and the most prevalent nonmalignant diagnosis was sickle-cell anemia. Preventive dental procedures represent most of the dental procedures undertaken in hospitalized onco-hematological pediatric patients.

BACKGROUND: Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) is a heart cyanotic condition characterised by elevated pulmonary vascular resistance and an intra-cardiac right-to-left shunting of blood through a systemic-to-pulmonary circulation connection. Affected children usually exhibit severe hypoxia, clubbing of fingers/toes, haemoptysis, anaemia, and organ damage. CASE REPORT: During autumn 2015, the patient and her parents arrived at the paediatric dentistry clinic. The patient presented with the main complaint of generalised inflamed gingival tissues, severely protruded upper incisors, and evident abnormal mouth breathing. TREATMENT: This was performed under local analgesia, rubber-dam isolation, and antimicrobial prophylaxis with amoxicillin (50 mg/kg). The patient's parents agreed to the treatment plan through a signed informed consent. This treatment consisted of the placement of pit and fissure sealants on the four permanent first molars (which included enamel preparation with fissurotomy burs), in-depth gingiva/dental frequent cleanings, local fluoride varnish applications, and an exhaustive programme of at-home oral hygiene (brushing, flossing, and chlorhexidine mouth rinses), including adequate nutrition. Gingivoplasty surgery to remove residual enlarged tissues was indicated for the near future. FOLLOW-UP: The child did not return to the clinic. When contacted, the parents reported that their daughter's systemic condition worsened significantly. She was confined to a bed at home under palliative care, with a life-span expectation of only a few months. CONCLUSION: Comprehensive dental care of children with ES requires careful consideration of their medical condition, and dental care delivery should be coordinated with the paediatric cardiologist. General analgesia should be considered only in strictly selected cases, due to the high peri-operative mortality reported.

Although there are recommendations to prevent tooth decay by other means, this nonsystematic review finds that fluoride is the key to prevention and control of tooth decay. There are multiple fluoride modalities with effectiveness and safety of fluoride depending on dose and concentration. Prevention of tooth decay occurs at the individual level by fluoride use at home and with professional application and at the community level through fluoridation of water or salt.
