Evaluation of high-power laser therapy as treatment of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in paediatric patients with oncohematological diseases-Dr Morankar
ChatGPT for parents' education about early childhood caries: A friend or foe?
With the increasing popularity of online sources for health information, parents may seek information related to early childhood caries (ECC) from artificial intelligence-based chatbots.
ResNet-Transformer deep learning model-aided detection of dens evaginatus
Dens evaginatus is a dental morphological developmental anomaly. Failing to detect it may lead to tubercles fracture and pulpal/periapical disease. Consequently, early detection and intervention of dens evaginatus are significant to preserve vital pulp.
Factors related to spontaneous space closure following early first permanent molar extraction: A systematic review
Dental caries and molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) are primary reasons for the extraction of first permanent molars (M1) in children, which can lead to significant dental and facial development issues such as a midline shift and temporomandibular joint disorder.
The effectiveness of cryotherapy and cooled topical anesthesia compared with conventional topical anesthesia in alleviating intraoral injection pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Injection pain remains a significant concern in dental procedures, often leading to patient anxiety and reluctance to seek necessary care.
Three-dimensional assessment of root canal morphology of primary dentition using cone beam computed tomography
Root canal therapy in primary teeth is exceedingly complex due to the unique internal geometry of the pulp cavity.
Attitudes, knowledge, and related factors on paediatric dental radiography among parents of children aged less than 13 years attended a tertiary care public dental hospital
Dental radiography is an essential diagnostic tool in paediatric dentistry.
Perception, attitude, and opinion of parents of cleft lip and palate patients treated with nasoalveolar molding (NAM): A cross-sectional questionnaire study
The main goal of the nasoalveolar molding (NAM) is to mitigate the initial severity of the cleft, facilitating the subsequent surgical procedures. Nevertheless, the use of the appliance entails high stress levels for families.
Evaluating high power laser therapy (HPLT) as treatment for chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in paediatric patients with oncohematological diseases- Dr Jin
Effect of scanning strategies on trueness and time efficiency of digital impression on paediatric models
Various scanning methods aim to reduce intraoral scanner errors, yet no specific approach targets paediatric patients.
Maximum mouth opening in patients with cleft lip and palate or craniofacial anomalies compared with non-affected controls: A cross-sectional study
There are limited published data on maximum mouth opening (MMO) for children with cleft lip or palate (CLP) or craniofacial anomalies (CFA).
Impact of oral health conditions on the quality of life of children and adolescents with sickle cell anemia: A cross-sectional study
Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is the most common hemoglobinopathy in Brazil and worldwide and is part of a group of chronic genetic diseases resulting from abnormalities in the structure of hemoglobin.
Sedative and behavioral effects of atomized intranasal midazolam in comparison with nebulized midazolam for children undergoing dental treatment: A randomized clinical trial
Fear and anxiet are significant barriers of dental care in children. Sedation emerged as a valuable behaviour guidance technique to manage uncooperative children.
Outcomes of partial pulpotomy in permanent molars of children with irreversible pulpitis: A prospective cohort study
Vital pulp therapy is gaining traction in dental practice, especially for young patients.
Masticatory function in growing individuals with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia: A longitudinal study
Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a hereditary disorder with agenesis of ectodermal derivatives, causing oligodontia or anodontia. Dentures are needed to improve the patients' mastication.
Children and adolescents assisted in a referral oral medicine diagnostic service: 20 years of experience in Brazil
Several lesions can affect the oral and maxillofacial region, with trends influenced by lifestyle and age.
Is use of flowable resin composite an option for occluso-proximal restorations in primary teeth? A fracture strength analysis
Use of flowable resin composites for ocluso-proximal restorations in primary molars could improve cervical adaptation, and reduce the failure risk.
A scoping review on parental/caregiver challenges in maintaining oral hygiene among children with autism spectrum disorder
Dental practitioners must develop feasible and evidence-based strategies to help parents/caregivers successfully implement daily oral hygiene measures among their children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Effectiveness of virtual reality glasses versus white noise on dental anxiety in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder: A randomised controlled clinical trial
Management of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can be challenging due to their disruptive behaviour. Basic behaviour management techniques (BMTs) may not be sufficient, and adjunctive strategies such as virtual reality (VR) glasses or white noise can be employed.
Outcome of regenerative endodontic procedures in delayed replanted immature permanent teeth with apical periodontitis: A retrospective study
Regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) is effective for treating young permanent teeth with pulp necrosis. However, its efficacy on delayed replanted avulsed teeth is unclear.
Global prevalence of teething problems in infants and children-A systematic review and meta-analysis
Eruption of primary teeth is associated with local and systemic manifestations. Understanding the global prevalence is necessary to formulate the standard guidelines for management.
