Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce an upcoming Special Issue focused on "New Trends in Pediatric Dentistry". This Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements and trends in the field of pediatric dentistry, covering topics such as new techniques and technologies, innovative approaches to patient care, and the latest research.

We are seeking submissions from experts in the field who are interested in sharing their work and contributing to the advancement of pediatric dentistry. This Special Issue will be an important resource for pediatric dentists, orthodontists, and all healthcare professionals who work with children and adolescents. It will provide a platform for showcasing the latest research, techniques, and technologies, and will be an invaluable resource for those seeking to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the field.

We invite authors to submit original research articles, reviews, case reports, and opinion pieces that explore the latest trends and advancements in pediatric dentistry. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a Special Issue that will contribute to the growth and development of the field.

We look forward to receiving your submissions and to creating a Special Issue that will provide valuable insights and inspiration to the pediatric dentistry community.

Background: Caries detector dyes are introduced to aid in identifying infected dentine. Many researchers claim that they are not specific in identifying infected dentine since dyes also stains sound tooth surfaces. The use of a dentine bonding agent could help in avoiding the penetration of caries detector dyes to some extent in less mineralized primary teeth. This study assesses caries detector dyes penetration in primary teeth with or without dentine bonding agent application. Methodology: Ninety primary extracted carious teeth were considered for the study. Teeth were divided in to two groups (45 teeth each group): group I with dye application without dentine bonding agent and group II with dye application after dentine bonding agent; in both groups three different types of dyes were used. All cavity walls and surfaces of samples in group 1 were stained with caries detector dyes for 10 s, subsequently washed with water for another 10 s and finally air-dried. A similar procedure was carried for teeth in group II after the application of a bonding agent on visibly sound tooth surfaces without the use of an etchant. Results: A statistically significant difference between two groups for staining of different tooth surfaces was noted. A Kruskal–Wallis one-way ANOVA revealed a statistically significant difference in stain removal among the different groups either by distilled water or sodium hypochlorite were observed. Conclusion: A dentine bonding agent can help in preventing caries detector dye penetration in noncarious tooth surfaces of deciduous teeth. Full article

In recent years, pediatric dentistry has evolved considerably in terms of both the techniques and materials used. A clear, odorless liquid called silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is recommended for molars affected by hypoplasia and dentinal hypersensitivity. In adults and children who are at a high risk of developing caries, it is also helpful to prevent the progression of carious lesions. Teeth too compromised to be reconstructed that are not accompanied by discomfort or infection can be treated with SDF. The current review aims to provide an overview of the most recent research over the last 10 years on the potential of SDF, focusing on the clinical evidence of professionally applied fluoride therapy to prevent and arrest caries in children’s primary molars. Research was conducted according to the guidelines of the PRISMA statement. “silver diamine fluoride”, “primary molar”, and “primary molars” were the search terms utilized on the databases Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed, with the Boolean operator “AND” and “OR”. Of these 195 studies, 13 primary studies were included in this review. The quality of the included papers was assessed using the reputable Cochrane risk of bias assessment for randomized trials. The studies reviewed consistently support the effectiveness of SDF in stopping the progression of existing caries in deciduous molars; on the contrary, there is insufficient evidence to draw conclusions about SDF being effective for the prevention of carious lesions in deciduous molars.
