Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Children’s well-being is a priority of any healthcare system worldwide. As an element of children's well-being, maintaining good oral health is considered essential. Oral health can affect children’s physical, psychological and educational life. Oral diseases and dental caries, in particular, remain one of the most common preventable diseases among children.

Advances in technologies and techniques have moved pediatric oral health forward. Such advances are leading to the improved detection and diagnosis of oral diseases and more effective prevention and treatment.

This Special Issue of Children focuses on advances in pediatric oral health, such as:

  • Advances in clinical oral or dental procedures, techniques or materials for pediatric patients.
  • Advances in pediatric behavior management techniques for dental treatment.
  • Advances in diseases detection, diagnosis, monitoring or prevention in relation to pediatric oral or dental health.
  • Advances in materials development for oral and dental diseases prevention or treatment.
  • Advances in public and children's education for caries and oral diseases prevention.
  • Advances in inter-professional engagement and collaborations to prevent children's oral diseases, including caries.
  • Advances in technologies and care delivery to improve children's access to dental care and services, including tele-dentistry. 

All types of manuscripts are acceptable, including reviews and case reports.

Numerous developing countries’ socioeconomic and political issues resulted in a significant migratory phenomenon, which poses a health burden for the nations that receive migrant populations. Often, the greatest age group of migrants is children and teens. Oral problems are one of the most common reasons that immigrants in the receiving nations visit the healthcare system. Cross-sectional research was conducted on children and teenagers housed at the Temporary Stay Center for Immigrants (CETI) of the Autonomous City of Melilla (Spain) with the aim of identifying the state of the oral cavity of these group of migrants. Information on the condition of the research group’s oral cavity was gathered using the World Health Organization’s standards. The research comprised all of the children and teenagers who were enrolled in the CETI for a defined period of time. A total of 198 children were assessed. It was determined that 86.9% of the youngsters were of Syrian descent. There were 57.6% males and a 7.7 (±4.1) average age. The average caries index for children under the age of six was dft =6.4 (±6.3), and for children aged six to eleven, it was 7.5 (±4.8), taking into account both the temporary and permanent dentition, and for children aged twelve to seventeen, it was 4.7 (±4.0). A total of 50.6% of children between the ages of 6 and 11 needed extractions, compared to 36.8% of children under the age of 6. The population under study had a significant incidence of sextants where bleeding occurred during periodontal probing (mean 3.9 (±2.5)), according to an examination of the community periodontal index (CPI). It is crucial to study the oral cavity status of refugee children when designing intervention programs to improve their oral health and provide health education activities that favour the prevention of oral diseases.

Introduction: External inflammatory root resorption (EIRR) in immature permanent teeth is a common complication after severe dental trauma. The management of this condition requires thorough disinfection of the root canal in order to arrest the resorptive process. However, current guidelines regarding the recommended treatment of EIRR following traumatic dental injuries vary, mainly in regard to the type of intracanal medication and its retention time in the root canal system. The objective of this case series was to present both the apical barrier technique (MTA plug) and revitalization procedures as valid treatment options in immature teeth with EIRR. Methods: Four cases of post-traumatic immature teeth diagnosed with pulp necrosis and EIRR, with or without apical periodontitis, were treated either by an MTA plug (two teeth) or revitalization (two teeth). Cases were followed between 12 and 24 months. Results: Both treatment methods were efficient in arresting EIRR and enabled bone healing. After revitalization, partial root maturation was observed. Conclusion: Whereas the key to achieve periodontal healing in cases of EIRR is thorough disinfection of the root canal, both a subsequent MTA plug as well as revitalization may represent adequate treatment methods. An additional benefit lies in the potential of revitalization to promote further root maturation through hard tissue apposition. Full article
