In paediatric dentistry, various materials are available for restoring deciduous teeth, addressing both functional and aesthetic concerns. However, paediatric dentists encounter challenges related to patient compliance, limited working time, and material handling. This study aims to observe the survival rate of bulk-fill composite restorations in paediatric patients over a five-year follow-up. A total of 198 patients aged 0 to 12 years underwent 673 class II restorations on deciduous first molars (1M) and second molars (2M). All restorations were conducted performed by 1 Pediatric DDS resident students from the Paediatric Dentistry Department (Padova University), utilizing using different isolation techniques. Bulk-fill composite restorations were evaluated over a five-year follow-up, and data were collected by a single investigator. After five years, 177 patients and 611 restorations were assessed. The retention rate was higher in primary second molars than in first molars, with fewer marginal dyschromies and less formation of secondary caries. The overall failure rate was higher in primary first molars and primary lower second molars. Bulk-fill composites demonstrated significantly positive performance in terms of retention, maintenance, and marginal dyschromies. Bulk-fill composites are promising materials of choice in paediatric dentistry due to their easy handling and favorable properties. Further research is necessary to compare high and low viscosity bulk-fill composites and assess the impact of different variables on restoration success.","PeriodicalId":50235,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry","volume":"48 4","pages":"108-114"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141861515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this narrative review (NR) is to provide a clinician-focused update on the radiographic techniques for identifying mandibular asymmetries in orthodontic patients. Selective database searches were conducted until November 2023 to assess the available literature on mandibular asymmetry diagnosis. A health-sciences librarian developed a search strategy utilizing appropriate terms associated with mandibular asymmetry diagnosis. The databases used were Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, Liliacs and PubMed. Fifty-two studies were included in this review and data regarding the evaluation of mandibular asymmetries were presented with a narrative approach delineating clinical indications based on retrieved findings. There is no unanimous consensus on the method for diagnosing mandibular asymmetries. Cone beam computed tomography emerges as the preferred examination method for diagnosing mandibular asymmetry, thanks to the assessment of a 3D structure with a 3D image. However, the use of only orthopantomography could be advisable as a first-line diagnostic tool in children due to less radiation exposure.","PeriodicalId":50235,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry","volume":"48 4","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141861546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data regarding the demographics of both parents-guardians, as well as the children, and oral hygiene and dietary habits were collected through a structured questionnaire. This was followed by a thorough clinical examination evaluating oral hygiene status, gingival inflammation and caries experience. Analysis was based on the socioeconomic status (SES) of the parents which was according to the family income. Families with a monthly income of <1400 euros were considered as being of a low SES and families with incomes of >1400 euros as medium. Data were presented in frequency tables and significance of calculated differences was tested using chi-square and Fisher's exact tests. Multivariate regression analysis was used to detect possible risk factors for development of poor dental health. The sample consisted of 216 children (146 from a low and 70 from a medium SES) with a mean chronological age of 9.19 years. Parents from low SES were younger, of lower education, had lived abroad most of their lives and were unemployed or worked in the private sector. Children from low SES backgrounds reported infrequent dental visits, consumed more meals and had more sugary snacks. This was reflected in their worse dental health with significantly higher values for oral hygiene and caries indices. Despite the above differences, none of the parent-associated factors were significantly correlated to worse dental health. In conclusion, SES of parents is reflected in the oral health of children, although it is not a significant predictor of dental health.","PeriodicalId":50235,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry","volume":"48 4","pages":"52-60"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141861516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twelve children diagnosed with ASD, aged 6-17 years, requiring a dental prophylaxis participated in this study. Participants completed two dental prophylaxes, three months apart, one in a standard white light-exposed dental operatory and one in a green light-exposed dental operatory. Behavioral cooperation, pain intensity, physiological stress and anxiety were assessed in all patients. The Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test was used to estimate differences in measured outcomes according to the experimental condition. There was a trend towards reduced uncooperative behavior when children received a dental prophylaxis in the green light-exposed operatory (p = 0.06). Similar levels of heart rate variability (p = 0.41), salivary alpha amylase (p = 0.19), and salivary cortisol (p = 0.67) were observed at the start and end of each visit in both conditions. Green light exposure had no significant effect on pain intensity (p = 0.17) or behavioral anxiety (p = 0.31).
