Abstract

This study aims to analyze the caries risk profile using the caries risk assessment (CRA) method in children aged 6-8 years in Gowa district with a lower middle economic background. A total of 67 children participated in this study, with a distribution bet-ween male gender 24 people and female gender 43 people. CRA showed that 13.43% of children were in the low risk category, 29.85% moderate risk, and 56.72% high risk. The main risk factors that contribute to increased caries risk include frequency of consumption of sweet foods, lack of fluoride use, poor oral hygiene, and low socioeconomic status. Caries prevalence showed a positive relationship with risk category, where in the high-risk group, 70% of children had at least one tooth with active caries. These results emphasize the importance of risk-based interventions through dental health education programs, increasing access to fluoride, and other caries prevention strategies, especially in groups of children with low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Abstract

Pre-surgical nasoalveolar moulding (PNAM) has been applied to reshape the divided nasal structure, facilitate surgical interven-tion, and reduce the severity and tension of the cleft. This article presents three cases of patients with unilateral cleft lip and pa-late (UCLP) who underwent PNAM prior to surgery, highlighting the diverse cases of cleft and patient characteristics, which aid in the management of nasal clefts and yield more robust evidence-based outcomes. The main challenge in PNAM therapy is en-suring patient and family caregiver compliance with treatment, given that young patients must adapt to the device fitting and activation. Monitoring also requires regular and repeated visits, which can be time-consuming and cause psychological stress due to witnessing the patient's adaptation to the device. It is concluded that PNAM treatment reduces the width of the alveolar cleft. This treatment improves nasal symmetry by altering the columella angle, maintaining alar width, extending the height of the nos-trils on the affected side, and increasing columella length. Cooperation between patients, family caregivers, and the medical team is essential for better outcomes.

Abstract

Intrusion is the most common trauma in children. Management of intruded deciduous teeth includes spontaneous re-eruption or ex-traction. Pain management during extraction is performed with local anaesthesia, but this can cause fear and pain in patients. This case report describes the management of an intruded primary tooth using a computer-controlled local anaesthesia system (CCLAD). A 6-year-old boy presented with an intruded maxillary primary incisor following a fall from stairs the previous day. Clinical findings included swelling and ulceration of the lip and chin, haematoma, and gingival ulceration. Ellis Class IX fractures were no-ted in teeth 51, 61, and 62 with severe intrusion (grade III), slight mobility, and fusion of 61-62. Panoramic imaging revealed age-nesis of teeth 22. After one week of observation for spontaneous re-eruption, extraction of teeth 51, 61, and 62 was performed due to the risk to the permanent replacement teeth. Anaesthesia was administered using the P-ASA (palatal-alveolar superior anterior) technique with SleeperOne5 (CCLAD), improving patient comfort and reducing fear. Monitoring over 12 months showed no com-plications. It was concluded that SleeperOne5 as a CCLAD with the P-ASA anaesthesia approach is a useful alternative for ma-naging multiple impacted anterior deciduous teeth.

Abstract

When treating children, it is very important to prioritise comfort, effectiveness, safety, and conservative treatment methods. A positive dental experience is essential for children as it minimises anxiety in patients and parents. Distraction is one technique for successful treatment. It is necessary for controlling be-haviour and managing pain in children. The use of technology such as virtual reality (VR) has recently become an interesting tool for paediatric dentists, as it shifts children's focus away from fear and pain. Video games and digital games serve as VR content in some studies. The study shows that VR and smart-phone games are the most effective distraction techniques for managing negative behaviour in paediatric dental patients. This review provides an overview of the effectiveness of VR distraction in paediatric dentistry. It is concluded that distraction using VR in paediatric dentistry can reduce anxiety and pain levels during dental treatment.

Abstract

The prevalence of caries in children is very high, especially in the first permanent molars. The eruption status is an important milestone in a child's development, but it is also a phase that is vulnerable to the development of caries. This literature review explores the factors that influence the eruption status and caries of the first permanent molars in children aged 6-7 years. The first permanent molars are at high risk of caries due to pro-longed exposure to the oral environment. Factors such as genetics, nutrition, general health, and oral hygiene behaviour play a significant role in the eruption status and caries of the first permanent molars in children aged 6-7 years. It is concluded that a comprehensive preventive approach, including education, nutrition, and dental hygiene habits, is necessary to reduce the prevalence of caries in permanent first molars.
