The environmental impact of nitrous oxide inhalation sedation appointments and equipment used in dentistry
ConclusionN2O sedation is a reliable treatment adjunct but contributes to climate change. Single-use equipment has a further deleterious effect on the environment, though this is small compared to the overall impact of N2O. Dental priorities should be to deliver safe and effective care to patients that protects staff, minimises waste and mitigates impact on the environment alongside promoting research into alternatives.

The effect of fluoride varnish application on colour change due to paediatric drug usage in polyacid-modified composite resin: an in vitro study
ConclusionIt is thought that fluoride varnish application may be beneficial as a preservative in the colour change of polyacid-modified composite resins due to the use of various paediatric drugs, and this protective feature may be effective for a specific period of time.

Biocompatibility and acid resistance of preformed crowns in children: an in vitro study
ConclusionAs PPCs can be exposed to highly acidic environments for many years, thus the release of metallic ions from V-PMCs should form the further investigation in future studies. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)

Plasma neurological biomarkers as a measure of neurotoxicity in pediatric dental general anesthesia: a prospective observational feasibility study
ConclusionCaspase-3 reduced significantly in the short time frames during day-care DGA; this might be due to the relatively short anesthesia duration associated with dental treatment as compared with more extensive medical-related treatments. Therefore, further studies on Caspase-3 as a potential biomarker in pediatric DGA neurotoxicity are required to further ascertain results of this study.

Salivary and urinary assessment of fluoride and silver ion concentrations after silver diamine fluoride application in children: a prospective cohort study
ConclusionSalivary and urinary F and Ag ions concentrations elevated significantly at 24  h following SDF applications in children. A significant high recovery of these ions in urine indicates minimal systemic absorption, thus intermittent topical application of 38% SDF has a minimal risk of toxicity.

Progression of proximal caries in primary molars using the radiographic ICDAS: a retrospective cohort study
ConclusionsProgressions of the initial enamel proximal caries were significantly different among primary molars at the average 18.3-month follow-up. The median survival period of the enamel proximal caries was more extended than that of dentine but without statistical difference. These results provide essential information for dentists regarding an appropriate appointment for bitewing examinations. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)

Tensile bond strength between paediatric prefabricated zirconia crowns and primary maxillary incisors when using various types of luting cements: an in vitro study
ConclusionTypes of luting cement influenced the tensile bond strength between PZCs and primary maxillary incisors. The bioactive cement showed higher tensile bond strength than the resin cement and RMGIC. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)

Self-perceived oral health and orofacial aesthetics of cleft patients
ConclusionThis study found differences in self-perceived dental aesthetics: CL/P patients are less satisfied than non-affected controls. CLAP patients are least satisfied, but satisfaction increases with age. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)
