RESUMO

Purpose: (1) Implementation of teledentistry in a private pediatric practice during COVID-19 pandemic, (2) Evaluate dental care that was assessed and managed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Urgent dental care provided during the recommended deferment of elective dentistry (3/16/20-5/17/20) was documented. Encounters were documented by type and management (conventional vs. teledentistry). Results were summarized using descriptive statistics. Associations were compared with Chi-squared or Fisher's exact test. Results: There were 137 emergency patient encounters during the study period. The types were: orthodontics (32 percent), caries (22 percent), eruption concerns (18 percent), trauma (16 percent), "other" (12 percent) (i.e., ankyloglossia, aphthous ulcers). Almost half (48 percent) were managed with teledentistry. The highest utilization of conventional dentistry was caries (70 percent), and for teledentistry was "Other" (75 percent) and eruption concerns (60 percent). Conclusion: Nearly half of emergency encounters in this sample were managed with teledentistry. Teledentistry was a necessary modality of care during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and has uses and implications beyond the triage of acute dental emergencies.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The caries arrest that can be achieved by using silver diamine fluoride (SDF) offers a minimally invasive and inexpensive alternative to traditional restorative caries treatment. The authors evaluated how the dentinal staining that is associated with SDF influences the acceptance of this treatment among parents of young children in the New York City metropolitan area. METHODS: The authors invited the parents of children who had experienced dental caries and who had appointments at the New York University Pediatric Dentistry Clinic and at several private clinics in New Jersey to participate in a Web-based survey designed to assess parents' demographics, perceptions of photographs of SDF-treated carious teeth, and acceptability of treatment in different behavior management scenarios. RESULTS: Ninety-eight mothers and 22 fathers from diverse backgrounds participated. Most parents (67.5%) judged SDF staining on the posterior teeth to be esthetically tolerable, but only 29.7% of parents made this same judgment about anterior teeth (P < .001). In the absence of their child having behavioral barriers to conventional restorations, 53.6% of parents reported that they were likely to choose SDF to treat their child's posterior teeth, but only 26.9% of parents were likely to choose SDF to treat their child's anterior teeth. As the number of children's behavioral barriers increased, so did the parents' level of acceptance. In extreme cases, in which parents had to decide whether their children should undergo general anesthesia during treatment, parents' acceptance rate of SDF as a treatment method increased to 68.5% on posterior teeth and to 60.3% on anterior teeth. Parents' acceptance of the treatment also varied according to their socioeconomic status. CONCLUSIONS: Staining on posterior teeth was more acceptable than staining on anterior teeth. Although staining on anterior teeth was undesirable, most parents preferred this option to advanced behavioral techniques such as sedation or general anesthesia. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Clinicians need to understand parental sensitivities regarding the staining effect of SDF to plan adequately for the use of SDF as a method of caries management in pediatric patients.
