The findings suggest that selective caries removal and vital pulp therapy (VPT) are essential approaches to preserving the vitality of compromised first molars, although there is a scarcity of evidence addressing specifically the management of molars affected by MIH. Diagnosing pulpal conditions in children with MIH is challenging, as pulp tests may be unreliable. This can lead to exaggerated responses and an increased risk of misdiagnosis, resulting in unnecessary treatments like endodontic therapy or extractions. The involvement of endodontists is critical, especially when minimally invasive techniques are needed to preserve dental tissue. Endodontists face additional challenges related to pulp therapy in these patients due to subclinical pulp inflammation, which can impair anaesthesia effectiveness and reduce a child's cooperation.Conclusion: Interdisciplinary collaboration between paediatric dentists and endodontists is essential for improving outcomes in MIH management. The development of advanced behaviour management skills and minimally invasive treatment approaches is recommended to enhance patient care.","PeriodicalId":519951,"journal":{"name":"Primary dental journal","volume":"14 1","pages":"74-81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144063994","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}

When the interdental col is not considered properly during restorative procedures new problems can arise instead of resolving existing ones. Dental professionals must be constantly vigilant because any oozing of inflammatory gingival crevicular fluid, or frank bleeding, from the col regions can impact adversely on adhesive bonding, pulpal health, impression accuracy, and restoration cementation. This article emphasises the importance of patients accepting their responsibilities early on for gaining and maintaining their dental health by appropriate cleaning of their col areas. In addition, this article demonstrates practical and cost-effective adjustments of interproximal restorations that promote periodontal health. It highlights that restored teeth often need to be made anatomically different to natural teeth to reduce the likelihood of perpetuating problems of the col. Careful design and precise execution of interproximal restorations are both essential to prevent reproducing problems which often necessitated those restorations in the first place.This article also provides some practical hints on restoring teeth near the interdental col which will become ever more important in general practice following the imminent banning of dental amalgam.","PeriodicalId":519951,"journal":{"name":"Primary dental journal","volume":"14 1","pages":"117-125"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144050342","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}

This occurs frequently, with a prevalence ranging from 50% to 90%. The lesions typically occur on the labial surface of the gingival region of the tooth. Caries prophylaxis requires use of soluble fluoride to prevent demineralisation and stimulate remineralisation of enamel and dentine. The administration of fluoride varnish is a controlled and professional way of delivering high-fluoride concentrations that do not rely on patient compliance. This meta-analysis will assess the effectiveness of fluoride varnish in avoiding white spot lesions in orthodontics.Materials: A thorough search was conducted on PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases using advanced search strategies, appropriate operators, and tags based on the title and abstract. Two reviewers worked independently to extract data and ensure accuracy and consistency.Results: Eight randomised control trial articles involving 654 individuals were included. The findings revealed that fluoride varnishes significantly reduced white spot lesions on teeth. Patients who were treated with this substance had visibly reduced lesions (weighted mean difference = -0.54, 95% confidence interval = [-1.01 and -0.07], P < 0.001, I2 = 85.9%).Conclusion: Fluoride varnish significantly reduces the incidence of white spot lesions, but high heterogeneity among studies suggests cautious interpretation of the results.","PeriodicalId":519951,"journal":{"name":"Primary dental journal","volume":"14 1","pages":"82-90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144014108","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}

This is particularly important as the prescribing of antibiotics in implant dentistry is becoming increasingly controversial owing to the fear of any failure due to post-operative infection; the possible litigation consequences that might emerge can be a major reason for justifying such prescription protocols.Methodology: A questionnaire-based pilot study was carried out, which assessed prescribing behaviours by UK-based dentists placing dental implants. The 11-item questionnaire sought information on implant procedures categorised as straightforward and complex implant procedures. The survey was distributed electronically through local implant study clubs and via dental social media forums.Results: A total of 54 dentists responded, with almost 89% of respondents prescribing antibiotics pre-operatively and 85% prescribing antibiotics post-operatively, with amoxicillin always the primary choice. The recommended course of treatment varied between one and seven or more days. Almost half of the respondents prescribed analgesics pre- and/or post-operatively with ibuprofen and paracetamol as the first and second choices, respectively. Dexamethasone was prescribed pre- and post-operatively by 7% of the dentists.Conclusion: This study highlighted a lack of national antibiotics prescription guidelines and a lack of consistency in implant dentistry practice in the UK. It also indicated the need for multi-centre studies with large sample sizes that can support the foundation for appropriate guidelines on antibiotic prescribing in implant dentistry.","PeriodicalId":519951,"journal":{"name":"Primary dental journal","volume":"14 1","pages":"91-100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144063991","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}
