Some parents may be confronted with gingival bleeding of their children, but they feel indifferent to it because they feel that this is normal. They should know that there are several reasons for it, but the most important is the” periodontal disease”. Gingival bleeding is one of the common symptoms of periodontal disease. Gingival bleeding is often due to the lack of proper removal of plaque from the teeth in the gum line, which leads to gingival inflammation......

The health in the adolescence has represented a world preoccupation, because the inherent characteristics to that complex period of the human development, associate to a globalized universe, with intense changes in the cultural, economic and social values, and have an impact on the organism of these young, characterizing them as a more vulnerable group. In the context above, the precocious beginning of the reproductive life and the pregnancy in the adolescence, of more particular form, deserve highlight. This last, by the impact that can bring to the emotional, social and physic conditions of future mother and of her son......

Damage to the teeth of a young child can leave serious and prolonged periods of time, leading to a change in color, deformity or possible loss of it. The psychological impact of such damage can be very wide. Therefore, the pediatric dentist should have the following characteristics such as: having the knowledge of the treatment of the traumatized tooth and being available to provide the necessary treatment and services at any time of the day. The most common teeth that are damaged in the primary dental system are maxillary incisors. Primary molars are rarely damaged and are often damaged by indirect injury......

Dermatological allergies can have different causes. But the most frequent one in dentistry may be associated with the chemical agents which are used in dentistry. Even though the hypersensitivity to Formalin in children not frequently is reported, but some of the researches have shown the skin reaction has happened during or after the endodontic treatments. In spite, this is still a controversy among the researchers and scientists; we present a case of skin reactions with Pulpotec in a dental clinic. To achieve the result, the patch test was used......

Lymphoma is the general term for cancers that develop in the lymphatic system. Lymphoma originates in developing lymphocytes (B-cells and T-cells), which have undergone a malignant change. They multiply without any proper order, forming tumors, which are collections of cancer cells. These tumors cause swelling in the lymph nodes and other parts of the body. Over time, malignant lymphocytes (called lymphoma cells) crowd out normal lymphocytes and eventually the immune system becomes weakened and can no longer function properly. This lymphoma affects the lymph nodes first and could also affect other lymphoid organs like spleen and bone marrow. The Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma can be classified into 2, depending on how fast or slow these tumors grow within the body namely; Aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and Indolent non-¬ Hodgkin’s lymph.....

White and beautiful pearls that appear for the first time in the sixth month on the lower gingiva are the primary teeth that erupt after one another until the age of two. These teeth should remain in the mouth without any problem until the eruption of the permanent teeth so that have the proper function. Unfortunately, many children lose their teeth much sooner than the time they should naturally fall. The most important cause of early tooth loss is caries, which is due to the lack of attention of parents to children’s oral hygiene, the negligence of referral for regular examinations by the dentist to detect early caries and postponing the essential and appropriate dental treatments......

The dental office for children has always been scary and eerie. The reason for this fear is the lack of mental fitness of children towards the dental health environment. Unknown instruments, scary sounds of dental devices, and sometimes seeing others’ fears during dental procedures would affect the child’s mind; and creates fear within them. No research has pointed to the definitive causes of anxiety and stress, but some studies have shown that the bad experience of dental treatments associated with pain is one of the most common in this case. Other factors include the possibility of pain during a procedure, anesthetic effectiveness, sterile odor in the office or clinic, lack of comfort and the voice of the dental drill. Children are divided into five groups in terms of behavior in the dental environment. For some patients, anxiety an.....

Children with disabilities are a vulnerable group that needs special attention and care in dentistry (because of physical, developmental, mental, sensory, behavioral, cognitive or emotional impairment). It is known that disability generates different levels of risk for oral diseases. Ecuador is a country that is at the forefront of global care for people with disabilities, the Catholic University of Cuenca-Ecuador, has proposed an early intervention model (based on evidence) to the control of caries lesions in these patients, through a school based intervention developed at ADINEA school in the same city. This model is currently being applied since August 2017. The purpose of this paper is to present, academically the conceptual model of our intervention. This proposal has 4 principal components parents support, minimal intervention appro.....

Behavioural reactions to dental procedures have not received sufficient attention in either the psychiatric or dental literature. In medicine, behavioral reactions have been studied in relation to many types of medical and surgical procedures [1-7]. In dentistry, behavior in the dentist’s office has been studied and related to maternal anxiety and to previous dental or medical trauma [8,9]. Behavior after the dental office visit has not received much emphasis, nor have adverse behavioral reactions been described as squeal to dental procedures. The patient to be described may represent an extreme example of an adverse reaction to a series of dental procedures, but the case is worthy of note......

Mucoceles is the most common benign minor salivary gland lesion commonly affecting children and adolescents, being more prevalent on lower labial mucosa with periodic rupture history and local trauma. A complete excision is recommended for mucoceles, including associated salivary gland tissue and marginal glands. Conventional surgical intervention as well as laser excision is indicated. This case report describes lower lip mucoceles excision with an Nd: YAG laser in a 6-year-old girl, with no recurrence after 12 years. When properly used, Nd: YAG laser can play a beneficial role to both clinicians and patients in achieving high quality results, as it provides good hemostasis, reduced postoperative swelling, bacterial reduction at the surgical site, lesser need for .....

Intra-oral fibrous type soft tissue overgrowth is common in oral cavity. It can be either benign or neoplastic lesions. Nonneoplastic type of reactive lesion seen in the oral cavity is caused by the chronic irritation. Focal fibrous hyperplasia is one such lesion which is seen in the line of occlusion. Focal fibrous hyperplasia is also known as irritational fibroma or traumatic fibroma. Proper oral hygiene, removal of etiologic factors and conservative excision will prevent the focal fibrous hyperplasia and its recurrence. Proper diagnosis, management and follow up should be done in these cases.....
