Dimensional Changes in Dental Arches after Complete Dentures Rehabilitation of a Patient with Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia: A Case Report with 18-Year Follow-Up
Conclusions: The absence of teeth due to HED did not affect the dimensional changes in dental arches after complete denture rehabilitation from childhood to adulthood. The prosthetic treatment improved the patient ’s social integration and enabled the development of normal dietary habits, speech, and facial esthetics, which in turn led to improved quality of life.

Evaluation of the Trabecular Structure of Mandibular Condyles in Children Using Fractal Analysis
Conclusions: The FD values of the mandibular condyle trabecular structure changed with age. It will be possible to evaluate these changes from panoramic radiographs by making calculations using the fractal analysis method. (Source: Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry)

Multiple Idiopathic Internal Root Resorption in an Adolescent: A Case R Multiple Idiopathic Internal Root Resorption in an Adolescent: A Case Report
Internal root resorption (IRR) refers to a slow or rapid progressive resorption process that occurs in the pulp cavity of the tooth or the dentin of the root. IRR occurs as result of odontoclast action; in many cases, the pulp tissue exhibits chronic inflammation, and odontoblasts and predentin do not appear on the dentin wall near the pulp. Exact predisposing factors have not been clearly elucidated; therefore, it is difficult to identify reliable data on the prevalence of IRR because of its scarce occurrence and pathology. Reports have indicated that IRR is more common in the primary than in the permanent teeth. This cas...

Temporal Exposure of Dermal Fibroblasts to Silver Diamine Fluoride and Fluorine NMR Quantitation
Conclusions: Considering that the SDF reagent is applied orally at ~40%, these results warrant more refined testing to identify true lower limit of toxicity end points of SDF. SDF should be utilized only by trained professionals and never contact soft tissue. NMR may be utilized to determine relative amounts of fluoride both in cell culture media and within fluoride exposed cells. (Source: Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry)

Serum and Saliva 25(OH)D Levels in Relation to Dental Caries in Young Children
Conclusions: The association between serum and saliva 25(OH)D and dental caries in young children was inconclusive. However, a positive and significant correlation was observed between serum and saliva 25(OH)D levels. Further studies are warranted to investigate the definite relation between 25(OH)D levels and dental caries and using saliva 25(OH)D as a non-invasive alternative method over blood samples.

Lesion Sterilization Tissue Repair (LSTR) Approach Of Non-Vital Primary Molars With A Chloramphenicol-Tetracycline-ZOE Antibiotic Paste: A Scoping Review
The study aimed to perform a systematic scoping review with the need of exploring the actual clinical applications of the chloramphenicol-tetracycline-ZOE antibiotic paste (CTZ) as a lesion sterilization tissue repair (LSTR) therapy agent. Following a scoping framework suggested by Arksey and O ’Malley, relevant articles (randomized controlled trials, literature reviews, observational studies, in vitro studies, and clinical case-series reports) published over the last 15 years (in English, Spanish, or Portuguese languages) were identified and retrieved from five internet databases: PubMe d, Embase/Ovid, Cochrane Library,...

Immersive and Non-Immersive Virtual Reality Distraction on Pain Perception to Intraoral Injections
Conclusion: Three-dimensional virtual reality was found to be an effective means of distraction in children undergoing dental procedures and especially during the provoking phase. The significant difference obtained clearly indicates irrespective of immersiveness of virtual reality, anxiety had been decreased and on comparison the pain perception to intraoral injection is less in immersive virtual reality environment. Immersive VR distraction technique can serve as an adjunct to traditional behavior management strategies already available to the pediatric dentist. (Source: Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry)

Oral Reactive Lesions Associated to Incomplete Removal of Natal Teeth: Case Report
Natal teeth are infrequent at birth. Dental extraction is the most recommended treatment to avoid complications. Reactive soft tissue lesions associated to natal tooth or its incomplete removal are rare. A five-month-old female presented natal teeth #71 and #81 which were removed the day after the birth. The baby evolved with two nodules in the region of #71 and #81, pedunculated, 10 and 9 mm, respectively, covered by a pink mucosa, firm in consistency. Periapical radiography showed two radiopaque areas, suggestive of root fragments. After 30 days the nodule located in the region of #81 became purple in color and ulcerated...

Effects of Orthodontic Functional Appliances in Relation to Skeletal Maturation of Cervical Vertebrae in Class II Malocclusion
Conclusions: A significant proclination of the mandibular incisors was found when the functional appliance was placed during CVS1, CVS2, or CVS5. Time of placement of the functional appliances was not statistically significant for the remaining variables studied. (Source: Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry)

A Strange Gingival Orifice in an Infant: A Case of Oral Myiasis
Myiasis is a parasitic infection of humans and animals caused by dipterous larvae and is often seen in rural areas. For the first time in the literature as a case of gingival myiasis in an 18-month-old healthy child with good oral hygiene is reported. This case presents the clinical and histopathologic features of oral myiasis. The patient had a swelling in the upper lip for three days and a perforation in the gingiva. After mechanical removal of larvae intraoral symptoms resolved within six days. The larva was identified as Wohlfahrtia magnifica according to the histopathologic evaluation. Dentists working in rural areas ...
