In our bodies, fluoride is considered a trace element, meaning mineral salts that, although present only in small quantities or even trace amounts, perform important biological functions. Fluoride is present in the body primarily associated with calcium, for which it has a high affinity, in teeth and bones. It is rapidly absorbed in the stomach and proximal small intestine, and peak serum levels are reached within 40-60 minutes. Fluoride absorption from water in the form of fluoride ions is faster and more complete than that bound to proteins, the form in which it is found in foods. Fluoride is excreted in urine. In children, 20% of the fluoride is eliminated, with 80-90% retained by bone tissue and developing teeth. The main benefits of fluoride are obtained through local administration, on the tooth surface. Fluoride is considered safe when consumed at recommended levels, but excessive fluoride exposure will lead to the occurrence of fluorosis [Srivastava et al., 2020] with detrimental effects on teeth, bone strength [Wei et al., 2019; Helte et al., 2021; Lindsay et al., 2023] thyroid function and cognitive development [Iamandii et al., 2023; Granjean, 2019; Taylor et al., 2025].

Use of tell-show-do (TSD), sedation with nitrous oxide and oxygen according to the Langa technique, audio-visual distraction (AVD) and referral to general anaesthesia (GA) were enquired, particularly focusing on nitrous oxide usage in paediatric dental patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The research was conducted between September 2022 and December 2023. Data from 153 surveys were eligible to be processed using the STATA/BE software program, version18.0. The sample was stratified based on time in practice (≤10 and &gt;10 years in practice), gender, practicing area (northern, central or southern Italy). Descriptive and inferential analysis were conducted comparing groups using X2 test or Fisher's exact test as appropriate. The level of statistical significance was set at P value &lt;0.05.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;One hundred fifty-three complete surveys were analysed. Of the respondents, 79.8% (121) were female and 20.92% (32) were male. Regarding years in practice, 53.59% (82) were in practice for less than or equal to 10 years and 46.41% (71) were in practice for more than 10 years. As for location of the practice, 45.10% (69) worked in northern Italy, 23.53% (36) practiced in central Italy and 31.37% (48) were from southern Italy, Sicily and Sardegna included. Significant difference was found between genders, with 55.37% (67) female practitioners who assessed to have more than 50% of their patients in paediatric age, compared to 28.12% (9) male participants. Statistical significance was also found between years in practice and referral to general anaesthesia: 29.27% (24) respondents in practice for equal or less than 10 years stated to refer no patients to general anaesthesia compared to 9.86% (7) providers in practice for more than 10 years. In the sample stratified by geographical area, statistical significance was noticed among practitioners who do not refer any paediatric patient to GA: 37.50% (18) Southern Italian practitioners versus 27.78% (10) central Italian practitioners and 4.35% (3) northern Italian practitioners.

Appropriate use of fluoride, parental and child education on correct oral hygiene practices, early detection of conditions such as molar-incisor hypomineralisation, implementation of pit and fissure sealing programmes, and dietary management aimed at reducing sugar intake are all interventions that demonstrate long-term benefits. These measures not only improve the prognosis of future treatments, but also reduce susceptibility to oral diseases in adulthood as well as systemic disorders. Dental caries, the most prevalent chronic disease worldwide, continues to increase in both primary and permanent dentition. Its early occurrence is not merely a dental problem, but also an indicator of exposure to unhealthy lifestyles and to risk factors common to other major conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. This highlights oral prevention as a cornerstone of broader non-communicable disease prevention strategies, in line with WHO recommendations. Examples from daily practice clearly show that paediatric dental prevention is not a cost, but a lifelong investment: every early intervention generates benefits that persist for decades. The challenge in the coming years will be to increasingly integrate oral prevention into maternal and child health programmes, schools, and public health policies, building concrete bridges with paediatrics, nutrition, and other health disciplines, extending through to geriatrics. On the occasion of this anniversary, this special issue seeks to reaffirm a key message: paediatric dental prevention is fundamental to securing oral health and general well-being across the life-course, from childhood to old age.

CRA establishes the probability to develop carious lesions over a certain time period or the likelihood that there will be a change in size or activity of lesions already present [Kriegler et al., 2021]. This \"assessment\" occurs in two phases: the first phase is to determine specific disease indicators, risk factors, and protective factors each patient has such as the presence of bacterial biofilm, the quantity and quality of saliva, the quality and quantity of the patient's diet, the presence or absence of a correct lifestyle from a hygienic point of view; the use of fluorine and calcium phosphate substances; In the second phase a risk level is assigned to the patient (low, moderate, high, or extreme) in order to allow an individualised treatment plan, which combines restorative treatments with a preventive chemical therapy [Featherstone and Chaffee, 2018; Khallaf et al., 2021]. The aim of this preliminary study is to analyse the correlation of caries with the risk factors related in young patients from 6 to 12 years old, associated to moderate and severe risk levels of caries.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This was a cross-sectional and descriptive study that included 64 children and adolescents aged from 6 to 12 years, considering the possible and possible samples not acceptable to the study, due to the exclusion criteria.

The collaboration between orthodontists and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) is crucial for early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic competence of orthodontic residents in identifying OMDs, and to determine whether the application of a standardised interdisciplinary orofacial assessment protocol enhances diagnostic accuracy and interprofessional consistency.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Twenty-nine postgraduate orthodontic residents (PORs) at the University of Pavia were asked to conduct the first visit of one patient each to assign a Diagnostic Score (DS) from 1 to 10, where 1 indicated no need for intervention and 10 indicated an absolute necessity for orofacial myofunctional therapy (T0). Subsequently, an adapted version of the Interdisciplinary Orofacial Examination Protocol for Children and Adolescents (aIOEPCA) was used to improve the diagnostic ability of PORs. aIOEPCA comprised 15 clinical items, including assessment of sagittal, vertical, and transverse malocclusion patterns, lip competence, tongue mobility, breathing, swallowing, and speech articulation-each scored to quantify the severity of dysfunction. A second evaluation of the DS was conducted after the use of the protocol (T1), to assess improvements in PORs diagnostic ability. An expert SLP independently evaluated the same patients using the interdisciplinary protocol and DS were compared.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed between the PORs and the SLP evaluations across several functional parameters. Regarding DS, a significant difference was found between PORs T0 and SLP (p < 0.05), while after the use of the protocol the score improved, and PORs T1 vs SLP resulted not significant (p > 0.05).
