Two rounds of deliberations by the Delphi group resulted in 49 items for inclusion, with ≥ 85% expert agreement and high content validity (CVR ranging from 0.7-1.0). The majority (60%) of the feedback group found the developed index to be acceptable. The correct response rate was 29.6% while it was 43% for the retest. The mean time taken for grading 10 radiographs was 51.12 ± 7.84 min, which decreased to 44.2 ± 4.47 min during the retest.Conclusion: A novel grading system with high face and content validity was developed.

Risk of bias was assessed with Cochrane RoB-1, and data pooled using random-effects models.Results: Seven studies with 337 children were included. Digital impressions were faster than conventional (mean difference 165.48 s; 95% CI 157.74-173.21; p < 0.00001). Patient-reported outcomes also favoured digital scanning: lower pain (MD 13.03 mm), greater comfort (MD -34.02 mm) and less breathing difficulty (MD 32.51 mm) and gag reflex (MD 38.07 mm), all p < 0.00001.

This in vitro study compared the SM inhibition capacity of bovine infant formula supplemented with Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Gorbach Goldin (LGG) probiotic to a plain formulation.Methods: Two bovine-based infant formulas, Similac Advance Optigro (formula non-probiotic, FNP) and Enfamil Nutramigen LGG (formula with probiotic, FWP) were compared. The formulas were reconstituted at different concentrations (0.1×, 0.5×, 1×, and 2×). LGG (ATCC BAA-3227) suspensions were used as positive controls. All assays were inoculated with SM, spiral plated (n = 8) onto selective Mitis Salivarius Agar plates, and incubated at 37°C for 96 h. SM growth was enumerated in colony-forming units (CFU). Multivariate analysis of variance was performed to assess concentration-dependent effects and statistical significance (α = 0.05).Results: FWP recorded less SM growth than FNP at the 0.5×, 1.0×, and 2.0× concentrations (ANOVA p < 0.001). FWP concentration was negatively correlated to SM growth (p < 0.001, r = -0.864), whereas FNP showed strong positive trends (p < 0.001, r = 0.821). MANOVA tests confirmed that both group and concentration affect SM growth (p < 0.001).Conclusion: Commercial probiotic-enriched infant formula effectively suppresses SM growth in vitro. The observed suppression of SM growth in this study provides evidence for this dietary intervention's anticariogenic potential.","PeriodicalId":14268,"journal":{"name":"International journal of paediatric dentistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145251035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines factors contributing to dental caries among students attending special needs schools in Sydney to inform targeted preventive strategies.Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using retrospective data from 320 individuals aged 5-19 years, obtained through school-based oral health assessments and parent/caregiver questionnaires.Results: Autism was the most common condition (75%), particularly among younger children. Notably, 24% of children aged 5-12 had never visited a dentist. Chi-square analyses showed a higher caries risk in children with multiple medical conditions (χ2 = 5.312, p = 0.021), but no significant associations were observed with autism, toothbrushing frequency, toothpaste type, or sweet drink intake. Logistic regression identified medication use (B = 6.421, p = 0.011) and frequent sweet snack consumption (B = 3.998, p = 0.046) as strong predictors, while autism remained non-significant. This suggests that broader behavioural or physiological factors may be more important determinants of caries risk than individual oral hygiene practices alone.Conclusion: Reducing sugary snack intake may help lower caries risk. School-based oral health education and self-care support can promote better hygiene habits and long-term independence. Future research should evaluate the feasibility of these caries preventive strategies in children and adolescents with special needs.","PeriodicalId":14268,"journal":{"name":"International journal of paediatric dentistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145199442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mean dmft score was 1.98 (95% CI: 1.86-2.10).Discussion and conclusion: The prevalence of ECC varies considerably across the African continent.

The patient had a supernumerary tooth diagnosed at age 2 that was extracted at age 10. Radiograph after 1 year of supernumerary tooth extraction revealed a linear radiopacity adjacent to the left maxillary central incisor, diagnosed as CeT by specialists. Despite the radiographic signs, the tooth remained asymptomatic and vital, with no surgical intervention required. This case underscores the importance of including CeT in the differential diagnosis for pediatric patients with unexplained periodontal changes following surgical or traumatic events. Conservative monitoring was successful, likely due to children's enhanced regenerative capacity. The case also highlights the diagnostic value of angled periapical radiographs in detecting CeT.Conclusion: Pediatric dentists should be aware of CeT as a potential diagnosis in young patients and consider less invasive management approaches. A revised decision-making algorithm for managing supernumerary teeth is proposed to reflect these findings.","PeriodicalId":14268,"journal":{"name":"International journal of paediatric dentistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145113221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tested questionnaire was administered to 598 children, followed by a clinical oral examination to evaluate dental caries. Internal consistency was determined using Cronbach's α and intraclass correlation. The factor structure of CARIES-QC/Te was analyzed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Furthermore, the questionnaire was correlated with a global rating question to assess its convergent validity. In addition, discriminant validity was evaluated based on the presence or absence of dental caries.Results: The mean CARIES-QC/Te score was 0.43 ± 0.60, and the mean caries experience for the study population was 1.8 ± 0.81. Based on the global rating question, Cronbach's α score and intraclass correlation coefficient for overall CARIES-QC/Te were 0.934 and 0.881, respectively. The polychoric correlation matrix of the CARIES-QC/Te questionnaire ranged from 0.424 to 0.652. The EFA results of CARIES-QC/T suggested a one-factor solution and explained 51.7% of the total variance. Moreover, CARIES-QC/Te demonstrated good discriminant validity for those with and without dental caries.Conclusion: The results indicate that CARIES-QC/Te exhibits good validity and acceptable reliability and could benefit public health research in Telugu-speaking populations.","PeriodicalId":14268,"journal":{"name":"International journal of paediatric dentistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145080706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
