Introduction- Dental caries is a multifactorial disease and is one of the most prevalent infectious disease that affects mankind. Young children present a unique risk for dental caries as their host-defense systems and bacterial flora are in the process of being developed and also because the newly erupted tooth surfaces are more susceptible to dental caries. Mothers are the persons who generally influence their children via their own food preferences. Hence the mother’s taste perception plays an important role in the development of dental caries in their children. The need of this study is to examine the association of mother’s taste perception to 6-n-propylthiouracil with caries prevalence in their young children as well as with other caries risk determinants such as mothers and their children’s oral hygiene practices. Material an..... ReadMore

The anterior open bite is characterized by the negative vertical overhang occurring in the anterior region. It consists of a discrepancy in the vertical direction and is one of the malocclusions with greater aesthetic-functional impairment, besides dental and skeletal alterations. It has a high prevalence in the deciduous and mixed dentition and its etiology is multifactorial, highlighting the deleterious oral habits as the most prevalent. The objective of this study was to present the clinical case of a growing female patient presenting an anterior open bite associated with thumb sucking, by means of treatment with the functional orthopedic device Simões Network (SN3). During the first 12 months follow-up, we observed facial and intraoral oral changes and forward, the improvement of functional and c..... ReadMore

From the nutritional point of view, it has been proven that breast milk has many benefits for the baby, and it is advisable for all mothers to give their baby milk, and if possible do not replace that with the bottle. In other words, we can say that the sucking mechanism used during bottle-feeding is markedly different from that used during breast-feeding. The Federation of Orthodontists of France announced in a report that breastfeeding not only prevents allergies and gastrointestinal infections and overweight, it also promotes the regular growth of the baby’s face. Some of the researches prove this hypothesis...... ReadMore

Medical specialties have paid little attention to the teenage stage, including Dentistry. If to this we add the teen pregnancy trends due to economic, social or cultural circumstances, the results are young women with a high prevalence of caries, periodontal disease and early tooth loss. Objective: To detect teenagers at risk through different educational institutions such as churches, health centers, sports clubs, etc. Situation Analysis: The field study revealed a worrying number of adolescents who drop out of school or job due to pregnancy at a young age. Intervention Strategies: Three different levels of prevention were stablished a) Primary prevention: measures intended to prevent teenage pregnancy. b) Secondary prevention: measures adopted when there was evidence of an ongoing pregnancy. c) Tertiary prevention: mea.....

Subluxation, also called central dislocation, is often the result of an axial impact in the apical direction, moving the tooth within the alveolar bone. This is perhaps one of the most traumatic injuries, since the displacement of a tooth within its socket implies extensive and acute involvement of the periodontal ligament, bone damage and rupture of the neurovascular bundle. The close relationship between the apexes of the primary teeth and the developing permanent successor in turn can lead to multiple complications, which are greater when the permanent tooth is affected in the early stages of development......

The oral systemic health link has now become well recognized and numerous publications have discussed the importance of the oral microbiome in the overall health of any individual. This is likely even more important in children and this influences their future health as they mature. What is particularly interesting is that the microbiome of a child is developed prior to birth and is related to the maternal oral microbiome. Early intervention to the mother prior to the child’s birth, with proper sleep, exercise and dietary adjustments such as the limitation of added sugars and use of coconut oil, for example, will influence the developing child’s microbiome. Direct influence with the polyols xylitol and erythritol to reduce pathogens, and probiotics to boost levels of commensals would also be required. Due to the extent of oral disease..... ReadMore

Children and teens are more prone to injuries while playing, with most of the impact taken by the face especially the jaws and the teeth. The most significant factor in preventing sports-related or recreational orofacial injuries is wearing basic protective devices such as properly fitting helmets, face masks, or mouth guards. A mouth guard, custom-fitted by your dentist and worn every time you play or train, will protect against dental injury. Mouth guards are available in 3 different variants which are stock, self-adapting, custom-made mouth guards. The benefits far exceed the expenditure when considering the fees and discomfort associated with a traumatic dental injury...... ReadMore

Perhaps the question that many pediatric dentists may have is whether a group of bacteria play an important role in the development of dental caries in children. The results of the new research that was carried out at Umea University in Sweden, can answer this question. Researchers at Umea University discovered a new issue in relation to cariogenic different types of Streptococcus Mutans bacteria. They also investigated the adhesion performance of bacteria on children teeth with common caries and increased risk of dental caries...... ReadMore
