Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Current pediatric dentistry, made up of multidisciplinary teams, follows the concept of “Evidence-Based Dentistry”, integrating the most current scientific knowledge into daily clinical practice. Undoubtedly, the most prevalent disease in pediatric patients continues to be dental caries, however, periodontal disease, dental trauma and malocclusions affect a large number of pediatric patients.

During the last decades, the progress in pediatric dentistry and changes in the dentist–patient–caregiver triangular relationship as a result of scientific and social changes have led to the adaptation of clinical professional activity and the emergence of multiple new materials, therapeutic techniques, and approaches. The latest medical advances have also managed to improve dental care for smaller and more vulnerable groups such as those with "rare diseases" or patients with special needs.

All these changes are what led us to create "new approaches to old problems". Our objective in this Special Issue is to announce the advances in pediatric dentistry, enabling us to share information among professionals from all over the world.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the comfort of children and adolescents with conventional full-arch dental impression methods compared to two intraoral scanners (iTeroTM and PrimescanTM). Methods: A monocentric, analytical, controlled crossover study was designed to compare conventional impression and digital impression with two intraoral scanners (iTeroTM and PrimescanTM) in children and teenagers. Patient comfort was evaluated using a 100 mm VAS scale adapted to Spanish and for children. A descriptive and analytical statistical method was conducted with a confidence level of 95% (p ≤ 0.05) and asymptotic or bilateral significance. Results: A total of 51 subjects were enrolled in the study (mean age = 12.35 years). Although the group of 10–14-year-olds was the most numerous, gender was equally distributed among the age groups. None of the variables on the VAS scale showed differences between the gender categories (p > 0.05). There were differences (p < 0.05) with respect to the age categories, as the middle adolescent group showed the worst general perception and total comfort during the conventional impression. Statistically significant differences were found between all VAS scale items and the three impression methods (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The digital impression technique is superior in terms of total comfort to the conventional alginate impression in children and adolescents. Full article

(1) Introduction. An analysis was made of posterior crossbites in deciduous dentition and their relation to the type of feeding received by the child, with the objective of determining the influence of the way in which the child is fed in the early stages of life on the development of posterior crossbites. (2) Material and methods. A total of 1401 preschool children between 3 and 6 years of age from Seville (Spain) were included in the study. An intraoral exploration was carried out to assess the presence of crossbites (uni- or bilateral, and functional or not). The study was completed with a parent or legal guardian questionnaire exploring the type of feeding received by the child in the first stages of life, as well as the presence of bad oral habits and their duration. (3) Results. A total of 276 children (19.7%) presented posterior crossbite in occlusion. Uponn centering the midlines, 197 were maintained, indicating that 79 were due to premature contacts (functional crossbites). There were no significant differences in crossbites among the children who had received breastfeeding, though bottle-feeding was seen to favor crossbite. (4) Conclusions. No statistically significant relationship was found between posterior crossbites and breastfeeding, though an association between posterior crossbites and bottle-feeding was observed, with the number of crossbites increasing with the duration of bottle-feeding.
