Abstract

Caries Risk Assessment (CRA) focuses on caries prevention than restorative approaches. CariesManagement by Risk Assessment (CAMBRA) and Caries Risk Assessment Tool (CAT) are examples of manualcharting CRA methods that were made to make it easier for clinicians and non-clinicians. This study aims tocompare the validity of CAMBRA and CAT as CRA for children. This study is a rapid review and uses articles asresearch samples. Systematic searching was carried out using the PRISMA diagram. This study uses PubMed andScience Direct databases. This study includes randomized controlled, cohort, and methodological studies reportingthe validity of CAT and CAMBRA methods on children published from 2011-2021. Searching strategy for this studyis (children) AND (dental caries) AND (risk assessment) AND ((CAT) OR (CAMBRA) OR (AAPD)) AND (validity).Articles that meet the inclusion criteria will be extracted and discussed. One hundred three articles were identified,and only five articles met the inclusion criteria. Modified CAT by adding the patient's Streptococcus mutansexamination without asking the patient's social-economic status has the highest validity value. The method with thelowest validity value in this study is the unmodified CAT method. Both CAMBRA and CAT validity are stilllimited. The evidence is still low. CAT has high sensitivity score but a low specificity value, while the CAMBRAmethod has a different validity value for each reported article.KEYWORDS: Caries risk assessment, children, Caries Management by Risk Assessment (CAMBRA), Caries RiskAssessment Tool (CAT), validity

Abstract

ABSTRACT Developmental defect of enamel (DDE) is a defect on the surface of the enamel layer thatoccurs during tooth development due to various genetic and environmental factors. Defects that occurresult in changes in color and texture on the enamel surface so that it interferes with aesthetics. Thedefect level that happens can be classified based on the DDE index to determine the option of a casetreatment plan consisting of enamel microabrasion, conservative aesthetic restoration, and bleaching.This review aims to analyze and review studies related to DDE in primary and permanent teeth. Anelectronic search was conducted through PubMed/Medline, Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar,SpringerLink, and Wiley Online Library using the keywords defect email, developmental defectemail, and defect on primary teeth for research published between January 2011 and April 2020, thesame article was eliminated, the initial search resulted in a total of 55 articles. The exclusion of articleswas carried out based on the title and abstract so that finally, 45 relevant articles were obtained. Threestudies were included in this review for qualitative analysis. The results show that Enamel (DDE)Developmental defects can occur in both primary and permanent teeth with the same prevalence rate. KEYWORDS: Developmental Defect of Email (DDE), DDE Index, defect to primary teeth, defect topermanent teeth

Abstract

Introduction: Taurodontism is a rare developmental abnormality affecting the permanent molars, resulting from the incomplete invagination of Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath at the proper horizontal level. Apexification treatment of a taurodont tooth is challenging and requires special attention due to the difficulty in finding the orifices, as well as the complexity involved in the preparation and obturation of the root canals. Case Reports: This case report aims to present the clinical management of apexification in an immature permanent molar with taurodontism, highlighting, endodontic treatment strategy, and the rationale for using calcium hydroxide as the material of choice. The apexification treatment with calcium hydroxide was performed on the immature maxillary left first molar (tooth 26) of an 11-year-old girl patient diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and mesotaurodontism. After six months, no subjective or clinical symptoms were reported. Although apical closure was not clearly evident on radiography, an apical stop was observed during clinical examination. Following this evaluation, tooth 26 was obturated with gutta-percha combined with a bioceramic sealer, and subsequently restored using direct composite restoration. An evaluation was performed three months post-treatment, incorporating clinical examination and radiographic and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. Conclusion: This case report highlights the successful apexification of a maxillary first molar with taurodontism using calcium hydroxide. The patient remained asymptomatic throughout treatment, with radiographic evaluations indicating conditions within normal limits. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) confirmed adequate obturation extending to the apical region and demonstrated definitive apical closure after six months follow-up.

Abstract

Introduction: Pulpectomy is a common treatment for primary teeth affected by irreversible pulpitis or pulp necrosis, with the goal of preserving their function and condition until natural exfoliation occurs. Successful outcomes depend not only on effective canal debridement but also on the selection of an appropriate final restoration. Bioflx crowns are a newly introduced full-coverage restoration that offers both aesthetic and functional benefits, making them suitable for pediatric patients. This case report presents a novel treatment for an 8-year-old patient who underwent a pulpectomy, followed by the placement of Bioflx crowns. Case Report: An 8-year-old girl complained of persistent pain in her lower left posterior tooth for the past two weeks. Clinical and radiographic examination confirmed a diagnosis of pulp necrosis in tooth #75. The treatment plan included pulpectomy followed by Bioflx crown placement, based on parental preference for a durable and aesthetic solution. This case highlights the application of a flexible hybrid polymer crown in a post-endodontic primary molar-an approach rarely reported. The report provides a comprehensive account of the clinical procedure and short-term outcomes. At each visit, favorable healing was observed, with no discomfort or signs of reinfection. After one month of follow-up, radiographic evaluation confirmed adequate obturation and crown margin adaptation. Conclusion: Bioflx crowns demonstrated clinical effectiveness as a restorative option following pulpectomy in pediatric patients, with excellent marginal integrity, retention, and aesthetics observed during follow-up.

Abstract

Introduction: Environmental factors such as socio-economic and nutrients factor can affect the dimensions and proportions of the body. Nutritional intake has a long-term effect on physical growth and can be assessed through body mass index up to age. Children with a nutritional disorder are characterised with low body mass index. This study was aimed to analyse the relationship of protein deficiency and low body mass index on the head shape and facial type of 6-7 years old children. Methods: The research type was descriptive correlative, and the research was conducted towards 16 subjects with low body mass index. Protein deficiency was assessed from food intake for 3 x 24 hours through food recall method and interview. The measurement of the cephalic and facial index was carried out to find out the head shape and face type, and then to correlate with protein deficiency and body mass index. Data was analysed using the chi-square test with the significance (p-value)<0.05. Results: There was a significant correlation between protein deficiency and low body mass index with the head shape (p-value=0.007), and the facial type of 6-7 years old children (p-value=0.027). There was a significant correlation between head shape with facial type in protein-deficient children with low body mass index (p-value=0). Conclusion: Protein deficiency accompanied by low body mass index influences the head shape and facial type of children.
