Influence of the Physiological Pacifier on the Development of Malocclusions in Children: A Scoping Review.

Background: As a result of the dental alterations pacifiers can cause, several designs have been described, differing in the shape and size of the teat. The aim of this review was to compare the influence of the physiological pacifier on the development of malocclusions in children with other types of pacifier. The research question was: does the use of physiological pacifiers cause less dentomaxillary alterations than other designs?

Methods: A scoping review was carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) using PubMed, Embase, and Scopus.

Oral Habits in Childhood and Occlusal Pathologies: A Cohort Study.

Purpose: To analyse the relationship between the different habits that occur in childhood and the different malocclusions in the three planes of space.

Material And Methods: A clinical examination of 106 children between 5 and 12 years of age was carried out and a survey validated by professors of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Seville was made for the parents in order to identify the habits and relate them to the possible malocclusions detected in the child's mouth.

Results: 72.

Longevity of Aesthetic Fixed Space Maintainers in the Anterior Area of the Pediatric Dental Patient.

Unlabelled: Space maintenance for children at very early ages in primary molars or posterior sectors is widely used and the scientific evidence is clear as to its indications. In the anterior sectors there are doubts as to whether there is a loss of space and its use is usually accompanied by aesthetic, phonatory requirements or the completion of certain habits. In this type of aesthetic anterior maintainer, there are many medium and long-term complications that can occur.

Relationship between Children's Lifestyle and Fear during Dental Visits: A Cross-Sectional Study.

The purpose was to analyze the relationship between new family and social patterns and child emotions in the dental clinic. The sample consisted of 174 children between the ages of four and nine. Parents completed 20 questions that referred to social, family, cultural, and economic factors.

Radiographic differences observed following apexification vs revascularization in necrotic immature molars and incisors: a follow-up study of 18 teeth.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of apexification versus revascularization in the treatment of necrotic immature teeth and determine which strategy affords the greatest radiological success rate.

Methods: An analysis was made of 18 teeth subjected to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apical plugging and regenerative endodontic treatment, assessing healing of the apical lesions and the changes in root dimensions.

Results: Significantly greater root growth was observed with revascularization in terms of the percentage change in length (12.

Impact of delayed gratification on oral health and caries status in the primary dentition.

Objective: The ability to delay gratification (ATDG) is naturally linked to key regulatory psychological traits involved in self-discipline/regulation. The aim of this study was to ascertain the normalized impact of ATDG as an early predictor of oral health, on the primary dentition.

Methods: 404 subjects [202 children (4-6 years old) and 202 mothers] were enrolled in a case-control study.

Are there any differences between first and second primary molar pulpectomy prognoses? A retrospective clinical study.

Aim: To determine if there are any significant differences between the prognoses of pulpectomies done on first and second primary molars of the upper and lower dental arch.

Materials And Methods: Study Design: The clinical study included 55 children who had undergone 86 pulpectomy treatments, 41 on the first molars and 45 on the second molars. The root canal filling material consisted of a paste based on Walkhoff formula, containing Kri-1, calcium hydroxide and meta-cresol formaldehyde.

Revascularization of immature permanent teeth with apical periodontitis.

The aim of this minireview was to identify and review the scientific evidence regarding regenerative endodontic protocols claiming to revascularize permanent immature teeth with apical periodontitis. The literature was identified using the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Scirus, EMBASE and Cochrane databases up to February 2013. Studies were selected independently by two different researchers (kappa index: 0.
