These molecules encompass inherited defects of dental enamel (AI) and dentin (DI and DD). They display both clinical and genetic heterogeneity. These groups include different sub-types recognized on the basis of their clinical appearance. Diseases affecting tooth structures have been classified into distinct tissues [enamel (AI) versus dentin (DI & DD), the specificity of the mutation (syndromic versus non-syndromic), and their pattern of inheritance [autosomal dominant (AD), autosomal recessive (AR), or X-linked recessive (XLR)]. Mutations in the AMELX , ENAM , MMP20 and KLK4 genes are associated with specific AI types. Another series of gene mutations influence dentin structure and composition [dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) and dentin dysplasia (DD)]. These mutated genes are implicated in defective dental tissues.1–3","PeriodicalId":15598,"journal":{"name":"Journal of dental health, oral disorders & therapy","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75500307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Behavior guidance is the process by which practitioners help patients identify appropriate and inappropriate behavior, learn problem solving strategies, and develop impulse control, empathy, and self-esteem. This process is a continuum of interaction involving the dentist and dental team, the patient, and the parent; its goals are to establish communication, alleviate fear and anxiety, deliver quality dental care, build a trusting relationship between dentist/staff and child/ parent, and promote the child’s positive attitude toward oral health care. Knowledge of the scientific basis of behavior guidance and skills in communication, empathy, tolerance, cultural sensitivity, and flexibility are requisite to proper implementation. Behavior guidance should never be punishment for misbehavior, power assertion, or use of any strategy that hurts, shames, or belittles a patient.","PeriodicalId":15598,"journal":{"name":"Journal of dental health, oral disorders & therapy","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78905807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
