Aesthetic dentistry plays a significant role not only in adults but also in pediatric patients. However, a pediatric dentist is faced with the dual problem of satisfying the aesthetic expectations of the patient and parents as well as managing the pediatric patient. In the present era, there are numerous restorative techniques that can be applied to different clinical scenarios. However, we have to choose the technique that best suits our patient, not only biologically but also aesthetically, psychologically, functionally, and financially. The following paper presents the clinical sequence of rehabilitation of severely carious maxillary anterior teeth from left to right lateral incisors in a child with early childhood caries. Severely carious anterior teeth were endodontically treated. The central incisors were restored with gamma loop posts which is mainly used for pediatric patients in endodontically treated teeth. Lateral incisors were treated with Ribbond polyethylene fibre posts. Following this, all the teeth were restored aesthetically with free-hand composite buildup after proper shade selection. The occlusion was restored, and the restorations were finished and polished.

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between dental caries and hormonal, biochemical parameters in pediatric patients with early childhood caries (ECC). Methodology: This study was conducted on fifty pediatric patients who presented with complaints of pain and caries and underwent dental treatment under general anaesthesia. In this study, the hormonal, biochemical parameters (glucose, urea, uric acid, creatinine, AST, ALT, GGT, CRP, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Glucose, Iron, TSH, FT3 and FT4) which were routinely taken from patients before general anaesthesia and the number of decayed, extracted and filled teeth (DMFT) obtained as a result of clinical and radiographic examination were evaluated statistically in patients aged 2-6 years.  Statistical analysis was performed using Independent Samples T-Test and Spearman correlation coefficient at a 0.05% significance level. Results: According to the data obtained, DMFT average of fifty children (male: 35; female: 15) included in the study was found to be 8.26. The mean DMFT was 7.93 in females and 8.40 in males. No statistical relationship was found between DMFT and gender in statistical analysis. (p>0.05). Uric acid and GGT values, which are among the hormonal and biochemical parameters, were found to be outside the normal range in 61.22% of the patients. However, statistical analysis revealed that there was no significant relationship between DMFT and hormonal, biochemical parameters. (p>0.05). Conclusions: In this study, it was concluded that dental caries did not cause a significant change in hormonal and biochemical blood parameters in pediatric patients with ECC.   How to cite this article: Aras A, Doğan MS.

Aesthetic requirement of severely mutilated primary anterior teeth in the case of early childhood caries has been a challenge to pediatric dentist. Among restorative treatment options, prefabricated crown and biological and resin composite restoration either by means of direct or indirect technique are mentioned in the literature. This paper presents the clinical sequence of rehabilitation of maxillary anterior primary teeth. Endodontic treatment was followed by the placement of a glass fibre-reinforced composite resin post. The crown reconstruction was done with composite restoration. Resin glass fibre post has best properties in elasticity, translucency, adaptability, tenaciousness, and resistance to traction and to impact. Along with ease of application, fiber can be used as an alternative to traditionally used materials in the management of early childhood caries.

ABSTRACT The esthetic restoration of severely mutilated primary anterior teeth has for a long time been a challenge for the pediatric dentist, not only because of the available materials and techniques, but also because the children who require such restorations are usually among the youngest and least manageable group of patients. This case report describes the challenging task of treating a three-year-old early childhood caries patient with mutilated maxillary incisors with composite resin using a custom made post made with 0.7 mm wire and posteriors where endodontic treatment has been done and stainless steel crown has been placed.

Background: The use of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) as a nonsurgical caries management product is growing. Evidence suggests that SDF is very successful in arresting caries. However, a common concern with SDF treatment is the unaesthetic black staining. The purpose of this qualitative study was to determine parents’ views following their children’s treatment with SDF to manage severe early childhood caries (ECC). Method: Parents were interviewed as part of a mixed-method study of SDF to arrest severe ECC. Children with caries lesions in primary teeth were treated with 2 applications of 38% SDF, followed by fluoride varnish. Semistructured in-person and phone interviews were conducted with 19 parents of children in the study. Data were transcribed verbatim and manually coded and uploaded to NVivo 12 for further coding analysis. Results: None of the parents had previously heard about SDF, and they learned about it from the study dentist. Although parents trusted the dentist’s information on SDF, they welcomed additional evidence, especially relating to product safety and effectiveness. Some parents were minimally concerned with the black staining caused by SDF treatment. It was more important that SDF arrested caries progression, minimized pain and sensitivity, and prevented dental infection. However, some parents expressed concerns related to the unaesthetic black staining. Interestingly, many parents indicated that their children were not overly concerned with the black staining. A majority of parents said that they would recommend the treatment to others. Conclusion: This is the first qualitative study involving parents of children who were treated with SDF. Most parents were accepting of SDF as a nonsurgical treatment to arrest caries and minimize dentinal sensitivity secondary to caries, although some expressed concern about the black staining in anterior teeth. It is important to adequately inform parents of the negative aesthetic consequences and obtain informed consent before treatment. Knowledge Transfer Statement: This qualitative study revealed that many parents of children with severe ECC are accepting of SDF as a nonrestorative caries management option, despite the black staining of caries lesions. Dental professionals need to be aware of these parental concerns and obtain written informed consent prior to treatment. Parents also requested more information and resources on SDF on its benefits, effectiveness, and any associated risks.

Childhood Caries

Dental caries is one of the most common diseases affecting young children mainly caused by the streptococcus mutans when they act on sugary deposits on the enamel. The bacteria produces an acidic environment after breaking down the sugars, resulting in the onset of caries. When this affects children at a very young age, it is known as early childhood caries and it is a serious threat in developing countries. When left untreated it can affect the quality of life of a child. This study aims to determine the prevalence of early childhood caries among preschool children. A retrospective cross sectional study with a sample size 478 preschool children with early childhood caries who were randomly selected from June 2019 to March 2020 from the patients records. Data collected were tabulated with parameters: age, gender, number of affected anterior teeth, Number of missing teeth and number of filled teeth. The results were analysed using Chi-square test in SPSS software. The analysed data is represented as graphs. The most affected age group was five years [31.7%]. Boys seem to be affected more than girls [53.7% > 46.3%]. Affected anteriors were highest in age group 5. Average number of teeth affected were four. The most number of missing teeth was seen in children aged 5 years and the average number of missing teeth was 2. The average number of filled teeth in children aged 3 to 6 years was 5. This necessitates the need to implement preventive and curative oral health programs for preschool children.

For an Organisation for Caries Research/European Federation of Conservative Dentistry consensus, this systematic review is aimed to assess the question of how to manage the caries process in the case of early childhood caries (ECC). Medline via PubMed was searched systematically regarding management of ECC. First priority was existing systematic reviews or randomized clinical trials otherwise cohort studies dealing with management of ECC, primarily with carious anterior teeth. After data extraction, the potential risk of bias was estimated depending on the study types, and the level of evidence was evaluated. Regarding management of ECC, results are presented for silver diamine fluoride (SDF, n = 5), nonoperative caries management (NOCM, n = 10), and restorative approaches (RA, n = 8) separately, as different kinds of studies with different levels of evidence were found for the different aspects in the management of ECC. The 5 systematic reviews on SDF showed a high potential for arrest of ECC on a high level of evidence. In NOCM, a low level of evidence for a moderate effect of fluoride varnish in arresting or remineralizing, especially non-cavitated lesions, was assessed. For RA in carious anterior upper primary teeth, a low level of evidence was found for higher failure rates of glass ionomer cement and composite fillings than composite strip crowns even if placed under general anaesthesia and especially compared to other crowns (stainless steel and zirconia). In conclusions, ECC may be managed successfully with nonoperative (SDF, regular fluoride application) and moderately well with operative approaches, but the decision is affected by many other variables such as pulpal involvement, the child’s cooperation, or a general anaesthesia setting.
