Dental Traumatology in Pediatric Dentistry

In this chapter, epidemiology of dental trauma will be discussed in terms of its incidence and prevalence among primary and permanent dentition. Dental trauma causes and its distribution in accordance with age and sex will be highlighted. Classification of dental trauma based on soft and hard tissue injuries will be outlined, and subsequently, clinical examination and diagnosis will be featured. Treatment modalities and variations between permanent and primary dentition will be discussed along with the new treatment era namely regenerative approach and decoronation. Splints, techniques, and follow-up routines will also be discussed. Last but not least, prevention of dental trauma will be discussed

Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) May Be an Alternative Preventive Therapy in Children with Cerebral Palsy

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) on the buffering capacity of saliva and plaque pH in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP)

Color Stability of Composites After Short-term Oral Simulation: An in vitro Study

Background

The effects of nutritional habits on leucite-based ceramic repaired with nanohybrid composites

The purpose of the present in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of nutritional habits (various liquids) on the color change and early repair bond strength of a leucite-based ceramic repaired with different contents of nanohybrid composite resins currently used by the clinicians. Ninety-six IPS-Empress CAD ceramic samples were obtained with low-speed diamond saw. For all samples same repair method was performed. Samples were divided into groups according to four nanohybrid composite resins used as a repair material: Tetric-N-Ceram Bulk Fill, Filtek Z550, Clearfil-Majesty Esthetic, Bisco-Aelite Aesthetic Enamel (n = 24). Composite resins were applied on ceramic surface and polymerized (40 sec). After waiting for 24 h, samples were divided into three subgroups according to liquid types: pomegranate-flavored mineral water, salad dressing, and distilled water (n = 8). Before and after immersion the samples in the various liquids, color measurements were calculated (24 h). Then, shear bond strength was tested with an universal testing machine.For the statistical analyses two-way ANOVA, Tukey HSD, Spearman's correlation tests were used at a significance of p 0.05). When a composite resin is selected as a repair material, nutritional habits of the patient should be taken into consideration. Although hydrophilic monomer type of a composite material is a more predominant factor associated with color change, filler weight has the same predominant effect on shear-bond strength

Effect of environmentally-friendly ingredients added toothpastes on restoration materials

Aim or Purpose: Environmentally-friendly dentistry is a concept in dentistry that aims to create an ecologically sustainable healthcare service system while preserving patients' oral-dental health and protecting planet and societal well-being. The aim of this study is to examine effect of toothpastes with environmentally-friendly ingredients added toothpastes on color and surface roughness of composite-resin restoration materials. Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro study, totally 96 composite-resin discs (8mm-diameter; 2mm-thickness) with three different brands were prepared (Charisma, Smart, Kulzer, Germany; 3M, Universal Restorative, USA; SDI-Luna, Nano-Hybrid Kompozite). At the beginning; surface roughness and color values of samples were measured using profilometer (Mahr, MarSurf PS 10) and digital spectrophotometer (VITA-Easyshade-V) as initial values. Each composite-resin group was divided into four subgroups(n=8), all the discs were brushed for ten minutes with an electronic toothbrush (Oral-B Smart) to mimic three month brushing period. Subgroups were brushed respectively; multiprotection toothpaste (Sensodyne Multi-Protection), charcoal-toothpaste (Colgate Optic White Charcoal), coffee-bean-husk-added toothpastes (as control group). Differences between and after brushing initial and brushing values of surface roughness(∆Ra) and color(∆E) were statistically analyzed using SPSS-22 programme(p<0.005). Results: The common effect of composite-resin material and toothpaste on both ∆Ra (p:0.021; p<0.05) and ∆E (p:0.001; p<0.05) levels was found statistically significant. In charcoal-toothpaste group has statistically significantly higher ∆Ra levels (p:0.013; p<0.05). It was observed that coffee-bean-husk-added toothpaste caused less color change compared to other toothpastes groups. Conclusions: All toothpastes caused certain levels of color change and/or surface roughness on composite-resin discs. Using of electronic toothbrush may also be effective in results. So that an enviromentally-friendly material such as coffee-bean-husk may be integrated into toothpastes and be used safely

Who says that CAD/CAM cannot be done for children?

Introduction: CAD/CAM stands for computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing. Computer-aided applications have started to be used in all fields of dentistry. Shortening the time spent in the chair, laboratory procedures, and increasing the success of the treatment. For the use in children due to its high cost, it is quite beneficial applying permanent teeth. Case Description: Two case presentations will be discussed, both cases are systemically health female patients. Case 1 is 13-year-old with lost upper right lateral incisor due to trauma. A maryland bridge has been planned for protecting space and aesthetic satisfaction. After taking digital impression, maryland bridge has been milled from a zirconium (InCoris TZI, Dentsply-Sirona). It has been followed-up for 15 months.Case 2 is 11-year-old patient. After the root canal treatment, it has been decided to perform an endocrown with CAD/CAM. After taking digital impression, endocrown milled from lithium disilicate block (IPS-emax-press-IVOCLAR) and cemented. It has been followed-up for 13 months.For cementation self-adhesive dual cure(SET-PP, SDI, Australia) was used for both of cases.Same cementation procedures was used in both cases. Discussion: The use of prosthetic restorations in children is not common due to the difficulty in conventional impression taking and lack of cooperation from children. Using of CAD/CAM makes easier both taking impression and patient cooperation. Provide better adaptation. Conclusion/Clinical Significance: CAD/CAM applications are highly valuable in pediatric patient due to the ease of tolerating impression method and their ability to provide the best possible aesthetics and function for permanent teeth

Metastatic Mandibular Neuroblastoma: A Rare Cause of Tooth Mobility

Neuroblastoma (NBL), a malignant embryonic tumor derived from neural crest cells, is the most common tumor worldwide among children less than 1 year of age. Metastasis to the mandible is uncommon. This article reports the case of a 15-month-old male diagnosed with NBL with bone metastasis including the mandible which resulted in severe tooth mobility. Dentists or pediatricians should consider the primary or metastatic tumors of the maxillofacial region in the differential diagnosis in children presenting with premature loss of teeth related to tooth mobility
