Hall technique versus conventional preformed metal crowns: can paediatric dentists tell the difference on radiographs?
ConclusionsPDs identified the PMC type in half of the bitewings. They perceived no clear radiographic difference between HT-PMCs and C-PMCs, but their chance of recognizing HT-PMCs was five times higher than C-PMCs. HT-PMC support was high. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)

In vitro comparative evaluation of physical and chemical properties of surface enamel after using APF and SDF with or without laser activation
ConclusionUse of LASER activated topical fluorides helps to achieve superior caries prevention. LASER activated APF can be used as an aesthetic alternative to SDF, as LASER activated APF showed higher uptake of fluoride on the enamel surface without discoloration effect.

Clinical evaluation of feasibility and effectiveness using a virtual reality device during local anesthesia and extractions in pediatric patients
ConclusionThe use of a virtual reality device in children can reduce anxiety during primary molar extractions as evaluated by heart rate. Virtual reality devices might be an adjunct to high-quality dental care and to other behavior management  methods. Definitive outcomes can be attained by encouraging studies overcoming the present limitations, and considering salivary biochemical indicators for the assessment of these devices.

Prevalence of oral and maxillofacial lesions in children and adolescents at a regional Brazilian oral pathology service: a retrospective study and the relevant literature review
ConclusionMost maxillofacial lesions presented a similar prevalence between children and adolescents. Reactive salivary gland lesions and reactive connective tissue lesions were the prevailing diagnostic categories, regardless of age. Some odontogenic tumours and the odontogenic keratocyst showed significantly different frequencies across these age groups. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)

Association between maxillary canine impaction and other dental anomalies: radiological study of a mixed dentition children ’s cohort from an orthodontic clinic
ConclusionsThe presence of peg-shaped maxillary lateral incisors and infraocclusion of deciduous molars can be considered major valuable early risk indicators for maxillary canine impaction, because they manifest before the maxillary canine eruption. Special consideration should be given on distal displaced unerupted second premolar and the impaction of any other teeth. Patients with these dental anomalies are candidates for future interceptive treatment for canine eruption. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)

The impact of enzyme replacement therapy on the oral health manifestations of hypophosphatasia among children: a scoping review
ConclusionsThe available evidence suggests that that ERT in the form of asfotase alfa for HPP in infants and young children leads to improved oral health outcomes. It is recommended that the outcomes are improved with earlier initiation of ERT. Further, well-designed clinical research is required to assess oral health improvements and decreased morbidity associated with the early loss of teeth.

Clinical effectiveness of alkasite versus nanofilled resin composite in the restoration of occlusal carious lesions in permanent molar teeth of children: a randomized clinical trial
ConclusionsThe performances of the nanofilled composite and alkasite were clinically acceptable and comparable. Alkasite can be an alternative material for the restoration of occlusal caries lesions in permanent molars of children.Clinical trial registrationThe clinical trial was registered at Clinical Trials Registry —India (CTRI Reg no: CTRI/2020/12/029830 Dated: 15/12/2020).
