Aim: This prospective clinical study aimed to clinically investigate the efficiency of (GIC) glass-ionomer cement application (Ionostar Plus + Easy Glaze, VOCO) in reducing hypersensitivity in permanent molars affected by molar incisor hypomineralisation when assessed immediately (15 min) and 12 weeks after its application.
Materials And Methods: Children with at least one hypersensitive MIH-affected permanent molar (MIH-TNI-3 or 4). The pre-treatment status was evaluated and only included if they did not receive a tooth-specific in-office desensitizing treatment within one month.
Background: Nationally representative long-term data on caries in the primary dentition are rare but essential for determining the need for prevention and treatment. This research assessed the prevalence and trends of dental caries in 3-year-old children across Germany, with national data analyzed and compared with the corresponding data for 6-7-year-olds.
Methods: Data were extracted from the most recent German National Oral Health Survey in 2016.
: The most recent guidelines and recommendations regarding treatments of dental caries in children are shifting towards evidence-based minimal or non-invasive approaches aiming to preserve the vitality of teeth and potentially reduce the need for dental general anesthesia. This study investigated the treatment recommendations of dentists actively practicing pediatric dentistry in Germany regarding different patient cases with caries in primary teeth. The questionnaire was distributed on paper or online to pediatric dentists and general dentists practicing pediatric dentistry.

- The study evaluates the effectiveness and reintervention rates of fillings versus preformed metal crowns for primary molars in children under 7 years, using data from German dentists over a 7-year period.
- Results show that preformed crowns resulted in significantly fewer reinterventions compared to one-surface fillings, with higher success rates (80.6% vs. 46.2%-52.6%).
- The findings suggest that while fillings are commonly chosen in the German healthcare system, there may be a need to reconsider their use in favor of more durable options like metal crowns to prevent unnecessary treatments.
Unlabelled: The objective of this study is to analyse the effects of attended school type and class level on the reported caries experience (DMFT) obtained in the serial cross-sectional National Oral Health Study in Children in Germany (NOHSC) for the WHO reference group of 12-year-olds.
Methods: Caries data from the 2016 NOHSC were adjusted for each federal state on the basis of two additional large-scale datasets for school type and class level.
Results: Twelve-year-olds in all grades in Saxony-Anhalt (n = 96,842) exhibited significantly higher DMFT values than 12-year-olds in 6th grade (n = 76,456; +0.
