1. Managing Adolescent Root Fractures: Socket Shield Managing Adolescent Root Fractures: Socket Shield.
PMID:日期:2026-05-15Root fractures in adolescents present unique esthetic and prosthodontic challenges, especially when complicated by oblique or vertical fracture lines that preclude traditional root submergence. A 15-year-old female sustained multiple traumatic dental injuries, including a complex root fracture of the maxillary left central incisor, following a motor vehicle accident. Polytrauma management included pulpal therapy, splinting and interim prosthesis fabrication, but the incisor demonstrated both horizontal and vertical fracture components, contraindicating conventional root submergence therapy. Socket shield therapy (SST) ridge preservation enabled buccal bone retention while minimizing the patient's surgical burden, thereby facilitating immediate removable prosthesis fabrication and esthetic rehabilitation. The preserved shield will facilitate future implant placement during adulthood without requiring grafting. This case highlights SST as a conservative pediatric trauma management strategy, providing immediate esthetic reassurance for the adolescent patient and reducing trauma-related distress during a critical developmental stage.

2. The Association between Vitamin D Deficiency and Dental Caries in Children from Birth to 9 Years of Age: A Cross-Sectional Study.
PMID:日期:2026-05-15To analyze electronic health records from pediatric patients at a university hospital to evaluate the association between vitamin D deficiency and dental caries in hospitalized children from birth to 9 years of age. Electronic health records from 124,091 pediatric patients between the years 2011 and 2025 were analyzed. International Classification of Diseases-10 codes identified diagnoses of vitamin D deficiency and dental caries. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Secondary analyses included stratification by race to account for potential demographic confounders. Dental caries was diagnosed in 8% of children with vitamin D deficiency versus 2.6% of those without it. The unadjusted odds ratio for caries in vitamin D-deficient children was 3.17 (95% CI=2.20 to 4.54; <0.0001). After adjustment for African American ethnicity, the association remained significant (OR=4.581; 95% CI=2.52 to 8.33; <0.0001). Vitamin D deficiency was associated with increased odds of dental caries in the 0 to 9 years age group. Further research is needed to explore the influence of race/ethnicity and nutritional factors on pediatric caries risk.

3. Intraindividual Patterns and Associations of Three-Rooted Mandibular Molars in Deciduous and Permanent Dentition: A Radiographic Cohort Study.
PMID:日期:2026-05-15To determine the prevalence of 3-rooted mandibular molars (3RMMs) in pediatric patients and evaluate associations between their occurrences across different teeth. A retrospective analysis of digital bitewing and panoramic radiographs from children 4 to 12 years of age was performed. Prevalence was calculated at both the patient and tooth levels. Associations examined included bilateral versus unilateral occurrence, sex and side differences, and correlations between adjacent primary molars as well as between primary and permanent molars. Radiographs of 998 children were evaluated. Of 5,988 mandibular molars assessed, 52 exhibited an additional root (0.9%). At the patient level, 32 children (3.2%) had at least one 3RMM. Prevalence was 1.2% in primary first molars, 1.3% in primary second molars and 1.3% in permanent first molars. Bilateral involvement (43.8%) was significantly more frequent than in unilateral cases (=0.035). A left-side predominance was noted for primary second molars (=0.049), while no sex differences were observed. The presence of a primary 3RMM increased the likelihood of a permanent 3RMM (13.6% vs 1.3%; =0.002). When the first primary molar was 3-rooted, the prevalence of a 3-rooted primary second molar was higher (25% vs 1% in children without a 3-rooted first primary molar, <0.001), as was the prevalence of a 3-rooted permanent first molar (23.1% vs 1% in children without a 3-rooted first primary molar, <0.001). Although rare, 3RMMs demonstrate consistent associations between adjacent and successive teeth, supporting a developmental link. Early radiographic recognition in primary molars may help anticipate similar anatomy in permanent molars and reduce the risk of procedural complications.

4. Positive Pre-Visit Imagery Does Not Reduce Dental Anxiety in Children: A Randomized, Triple-Blind, Controlled Trial.
PMID:日期:2026-05-15To evaluate the effectiveness of positive pre-visit imagery in reducing dental anxiety (DA) in children undergoing procedures requiring local anesthesia. A triple-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted with 69 children aged 7 to 12 years of age at a university pediatric dental clinic in Brazil. Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (positive dental images) or a control group (neutral nature images). Images were shown 2 minutes prior to receiving local anesthesia. DA was assessed before and after treatment using the Venham picture test (VPT). Statistical analyses included the Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test and ordinal logistic regression to identify predictors of post-procedure anxiety. No significant differences in VPT scores were found within or between groups before and after treatment (>0.05). Baseline anxiety, age, sex and group allocation did not predict post-treatment anxiety. Positive pre-visit imagery was not effective in reducing DA when measured by the VPT.

5. Effect of Silver Diammine Fluoride with Potassium Iodide on Dentin Bond Strength: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of In Vitro Studies.
PMID:日期:2026-05-15To investigate through a meta-analysis and systematic review the influence of the combined use of silver diammine fluoride (SDF) and potassium iodide (KI) on the bonding of adhesive materials to sound and carious dentin. The PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, LILACS, Web of Science databases and grey literature were searched. In vitro studies comparing the bond strength of adhesive systems (AD) or glass ionomer cements (GIC) to SDF+KI and SDF-treated dentin were included. Mean differences were estimated, separately by dentin condition (sound or carious dentin) and tooth type (primary or permanent), considering the adhesive material as a subgroup. Of 1,689 potentially eligible studies, 45 were selected for full-text analysis and 14 were included. There was no significant difference in the bond strength to permanent carious dentin pre-treated with SDF or SDF+KI (=0.17; I²=97%), regardless of the adhesive material (GIC: =0.32; AD: =0.25). Subgroup analyses for primary carious dentin pre-treated with SDF or SDF+KI, performed separately for GIC and AD, also showed no significant differences (GIC: =0.13; AD: =0.28). However, when pooling all datasets, a statistically significant difference was observed (=0.005; I²=94%), indicating that SDF+KI improved bond strength. No difference in the bond strength of GIC to permanent sound dentin pre-treated with SDF and SDF+KI was found (=0.80; I²=0%). Pooled in vitro data suggest that SDF + KI do not affect bond strength to permanent carious or sound dentin and may enhance bond strength in primary carious dentin.

6. Atypical Presentation of Scurvy in the Oral Cavity.
PMID:日期:2026-05-15Vitamin C is crucial for normal physiology and function. Severely insufficient levels of vitamin C can disrupt these processes, resulting in scurvy, a condition characterized by compromised collagen production and tissue degradation. The purpose of this report is to present a complex case of a pediatric patient with autism spectrum disorder exhibiting nonspecific oral lesions. Histopathological examination of the lesions revealed granulomatous inflammation, suggesting an initial diagnosis of orofacial granulomatosis, with a recommendation to rule out Crohn's disease. Further investigation confirmed the presence of vitamin C deficiency, with the oral lesions responding positively to vitamin C supplementation, indicating that the oral lesions were a manifestation of scurvy. In the United States, scurvy is rare and usually associated with underlying conditions and restrictive diets; if left untreated, severe complications affecting patients' life expectancy may occur. Understanding the clinical manifestations of vitamin C deficiency is crucial for timely diagnosis and effective management.

7. Portuguese Parents' Literacy on Ankyloglossia.
PMID:日期:2026-05-15To evaluate Portuguese parents' knowledge about ankyloglossia, examine how it may affect child development, and describe diagnostic and treatment practices of the condition. During March 2025, a 6-section multiple-choice questionnaire, based on an Australian study, assessed Portuguese parents' knowledge of ankyloglossia both in person at a university pediatric dental clinic and online. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, using Fisher's exact tests with Monte Carlo simulations. This study collected 259 valid responses, predominantly from the central region of Portugal (76.1%). More than half of the participants (58.7%) were familiar with the term "ankyloglossia", primarily associating it with issues in speech (91.4%), chewing (70.8%) and breastfeeding (66.1%). The main source of information about ankyloglossia was healthcare professionals (77.9%). Approximately one-fifth of participants (20.1%) had a child diagnosed with ankyloglossia. Diagnoses were typically based on professional opinion, breastfeeding difficulties and tongue appearance, with physicians, dentists, speech therapists and lactation consultants being the primary diagnosticians. Surgical treatment, mainly laser frenectomy, was performed in 88.5% of cases, with significant involvement from dentists and speech therapists. Parents reported high satisfaction with treatment outcomes and the information provided. This study found a moderate level of awareness about ankyloglossia among Portuguese parents and caregivers. Clearer diagnosis and treatment protocols and further research are essential to improve care and enhance parental knowledge.

8. Parental Acceptance of Silver Diammine Fluoride for Managing Early Childhood Caries: A Mixed Method Study.
PMID:日期:2026-05-15To explore parents' perceptions, acceptance and concerns regarding the use of silver diammine fluordie (SDF) to manage early childhood caries (ECC). The authors conducted interviews with 39 parents whose children had participated in a randomized clinical trial using SDF to manage ECC. A mixed-methods design was employed: thematic analysis for open-ended responses and descriptive analysis for closed-ended questions. Parental acceptance of SDF was strongly linked to trust in the dentist (100%), its painless application (97.4%), absence of anesthesia, needles or drilling (92.3%), and its ability to reduce pain (97.4%). Most parents appreciated the fast treatment (89.7%) and limited alternatives during the pandemic (89.7%). Nearly all participants (94.9%) reported they would choose SDF again, with higher acceptance for posterior teeth (87.2% vs. 69.2% for anterior teeth). Additionally, 74.4% preferred SDF over restorations. Thematic analysis highlighted 4 key areas: (1) acceptance of SDF, (2) pain and comfort, (3) reactions to color change and (4) concerns and uncertainties. Parents valued SDF as a safe, effective and non-invasive option for managing ECC, particularly given its ability to avoid drilling, needles and anesthesia. However, esthetic concerns about staining underscored the need for clear provider-parent communication and ongoing education about treatment limitations and the importance of follow-up applications for successful caries arrest.

9. Comparative Evaluation of Physics and Conventional Forceps in Mandibular Primary Molar Extraction: A Randomized Split-Mouth Trial.
PMID:日期:2026-05-15To evaluate and compare the efficacy of physics forceps versus conventional forceps in primary mandibular second molar extractions among children aged 7 to 10 years of age. A randomized split-mouth trial was conducted with children requiring bilateral primary mandibular second molar extractions. Outcomes assessed included extraction time, tooth fracture, anxiety, and complications. Fifty children participated. Physics forceps significantly reduced extraction time (mean difference=7.7 seconds, 95 percent confidence interval= -11.5 to -3.9; <0.001) and anxiety reduction was greater (-1.94 versus -0.56; <0.001). Tooth fractures were less frequent with physics forceps (12% versus 32%; =0.05). No post-operative complications occurred. Physics forceps shortened extraction time, reduced anxiety and lowered fracture incidence, making them advantageous for pediatric dental extractions.

10. Central Giant Cell Granuloma: Diagnosis and Treatment in a Multidisciplinary Setting.
PMID:日期:2026-04-08A 7-year-old girl presented with painless swelling in the anterior region of the mandible as well as buccolingual expansion and spacing between the incisors. Imaging showed a well-defined, multilocular radiolucent lesion with cortical perforation, displacement of the canine tooth bud and root resorption of adjacent incisors. Diagnosis of central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) was confirmed by incisional biopsy and histopathology. Management involved a multidisciplinary team, including oral and maxillofacial surgery, pediatric dentistry, prosthodontics and orthodontics. Surgical enucleation with peripheral ostectomy was performed under general anesthesia, preserving the developing canine. Postoperative care included a fixed partial denture with a lingual bar to maintain space and support facial growth. Orthodontic intervention followed canine eruption to correct alignment. At 48-month follow-up, complete healing with no recurrence, normal facial growth and stable oral function were observed. This case highlights the importance of early multidisciplinary management for optimal pediatric CGCG outcomes.
