Adhesion of filling materials to primary tooth tissue poses a greater difficulty compared to permanent teeth due to poorer enamel and intertubular dentin mineralisation and wider dentinal tubules. The bonding strength of dental materials to tooth surfaces depends on, among other things, surface development, the depth of cavity, as well as the associated degree of tissue mineralisation, the content of organic components and water, as well as the number and width of dentinal tubules. The quality of bonding of dental materials to dental tissues is also determined by the mode of substrate preparation, e.g. conventional drilling or air abrasion, and the type of adhesive system used - etch and rinse or self-etch approach. The choice of material that will ensure optimal bonding to the tooth surface under given conditions, i.e. microretention or chemical adhesion, is also important. The aim of the paper was to assess the effects of different methods for primary tooth dentinal surface modification on the adhesion of light-cured materials in experimental studies, based on literature data. The subject of adhesion of light-curing materials to the dentinal surfaces in primary teeth is current and worth further exploration. Self-etching systems are a good solution for filling carious cavities in primary teeth due to less aggressive demineralising effects on dentin compared to phosphoric acid. Demineralised surface is a difficult substrate for adhesive materials, especially in primary teeth; therefore, there is a need for procedures that will improve the retention of light-cured materials in these teeth. The use of air abrasion – mechanical development of the surface combined with chemical modification using self-etching systems may be one of solutions.","PeriodicalId":445226,"journal":{"name":"Nowa Stomatologia","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128453031","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}

It is extremely important that the child’s first adaptation visit to the dentist takes place at an early stage of the child’s life. The purpose of this early visit is not only to assess child’s dentition, but first and foremost to provide parents with guidance on proper child’s oral hygiene and to correct improper dietary and eating habits. The aim of this study was to determine the age at and the reasons for the child’s first dental visit based on the current literature. A review of the literature published in the years 1992-2017 was conducted using the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The study was supplemented with papers published by Polish authors discussing the issues in question. A total of 39 literature positions regarding this field were selected and analysed.

Data regarding salivary flow and the levels of salivary components in developmental age are scarce and not fully consistent. Aim. The aim of the study was to compare unstimulated mixed saliva flow rate, pH and total protein in children aged between 5 and 18 years to obtain information on the functional maturation of salivary glands during the developmental period. Material and methods. A total of 90 children and adolescents (both sexes) aged between 5 and 18 years were examined. All subjects were caries-free (ICDA II score zero). Unstimulated mixed saliva was sampled from all patients to assess pH, total protein and flow rate. The subjects were divided into age groups 5-6, 13-14 and 18 years.

In contrast, pH values were significantly higher in the youngest group compared to older age groups. Total protein was the lowest in 5-6 year olds, higher in 13-14 year olds and the highest at the age of 18 years (significant difference between age groups of 5-6 and 18 years). A decreasing trend in pH values and an increasing one in protein levels were observed between the age groups. Considering the entire group of subjects, a positive correlation between age and salivary flow rate and protein levels, and a negative correlation with pH were found.

Glass-ionomer cements and composite materials are widely used for direct restoration of carious lesions, also in young permanent teeth. However, knowledge on the effects of cariogenic factors on the quality of restorations performed using these materials, especially those covering proximal surfaces, which are more often exposed to bacterial plaque, is insufficient. Aim. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of oral hygiene and increased intensity of caries on proximal composite and glass ionomer restorations in young permanent teeth after 2 years of usage. Material and methods. Equia Fil glass-ionomer and Tetric EvoCeram composite restorations were performed in patients aged between 12 and 20 years with proximal carious lesions in premolars and molars. The clinical condition of restorations was assessed and indices such as OHI-S and D1-2DMFT (along with their increased values) were calculated at baseline, as well as during follow-up visits at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. Correlations between clinical assessment of restorations and indices for oral hygiene and caries intensity, their increase and increased number of teeth with carious spots were evaluated. The study was approved by the Bioethics Committee of the Medical University of Warsaw (No. KB/157/2013). Results. A total of 100 proximal restorations were performed in 49 patients. After 24 months, 98 restorations (50 Equia Fil and 48 Tetric EvoCeram) were evaluated. Mean baseline OHI-S and D1-2DMFT were 1.37 and 12.04, respectively, for Equia Fil restorations, and 1.27 and 10.38 for Tetric restorations, with the following values reported during follow-up: 1.80 and 15.4; 1.63 and 12.38.

Nationwide epidemiological studies indicate that the need for tooth decay treatment is not sufficiently met despite the risk of multiple complications. Limited access to paediatric dental care and improper parental attitude towards deciduous teeth treatment may be the causes of neglect. Aim. To define factors determining the use of dental care of deciduous teeth in children. Material and methods. Parents of 4- to 10-year-old children attending a randomly selected primary school and kindergarten in Warsaw participated in the study. The respondents answered 21 questions concerning their socio-economic situation, the oral health of their children and previous use of dental care by their children. Descriptive statistics and Spearman’s correlation coefficients were calculated for the analysed quantitative variables. Logistic regression analysis of statistically relevant correlations was performed (Statistica 13, statistical significance p < 0.05). The study was approved by the Bioethics Committee of the Medical University of Warsaw (no. AKBE 171/16). Results. The analysis included 295 questionnaires. The majority of respondents (87.1%) were women with mean age of 36.73 ± 5.44 years, who had children with mean age of 7.31 ± 1.96 years. Nearly all respondents answered correctly to the questions concerning health awareness. A total of 74.2% of children had positive attitude towards dental appointments. It is more likely that parents will visit a dentist regularly if their child’s first dental visit is before the age of 3 years (OR = 2.77), and the child is not afraid of doctors due to previous medical experience (OR = 0.24).

The aetiology of MIH is multifactorial and not fully explained. Authors agree that the general health during the first 3-4 years of life has a major impact on this disorder. The clinical picture includes demarcated white, yellow or brown tissue spots, and increased porosity of the enamel. Enamel damage and defects can also occur. Therapeutic management depends on the severity of the disease and includes intensive prevention, hard tissue reconstruction, and extractions. Conclusions.

Down syndrome, the most common chromosomal aberration, is a congenital disorder caused by having an extra 21st chromosome. Dysmorphic features and characteristic systemic defects are accompanied by mental disability of varying degree. Malocclusions, disproportion between the development of masticatory system and the tongue, abnormal respiratory tract, poor oral hygiene, and reduced salivary secretion contribute to the development of periodontal diseases in patients with Down syndrome. Aim. The aim of the study was to assess oral hygiene and gingival health status in children and adolescents with Down syndrome compared to generally healthy subjects. Materials and methods. The study included 150 subjects of both genders, aged between 5 and 21 years. The research group comprised of children and adolescents with Down syndrome (n = 75) and a control group with generally healthy individuals (n = 75). Oral hygiene status was assessed using the oral Hygiene Index -Simplified (OHI-S) and the Aproximal Aproximal Plaque Index (API). Periodontal status was assessed using the Gingival Index (GI) and the Sulcus Bleeding Index (SBI). Results. The prevalence of periodontitis among patients with Down syndrome reached 100%.
