Objectives: To study the oral health of young individuals with controlled and uncontrolled type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and compare the results with those for healthy counterparts.
Materials And Methods: One-hundred and forty-four youngsters (6-15 years of age) were assigned, according to glycaemic control, to three study groups: (i) diabetic patients with poor glycaemic control [glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c ≥7.5%)] (n = 35); (ii) diabetic patients with good glycaemic control (HbA1c <7.
Aim: To assess the oral health status of preschool children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) in Greece and compare it to that, of healthy children of the same age.
Methods And Results: The sample consisted of 146 preschool children with NDD and movement limitations attending the rehabilitation centers of ELEPAP and 165 healthy children matched for age and maternal origin. Caries prevalence, dmft index, precavitated carious lesions (WSL) prevalence Visual Plaque Index (VPI), Restorative Index (RI), Mutans Streptococci (MS) levels, saliva buffer capacity, gingival hyperplasia, tooth wear and developmental dental defects were assessed.
Purpose: This investigation assessed the estrogenic action of various types of sealants.
Methods: Three light-cured sealants (Denton Clear, Delton Opaque, Ultraseal XT Plus) were applied in polyethylene molds (Ø:10mm, h:2mm, n:8) and photopolymerized (40 seconds, halogen bulb unit, standard mode 650 mW/cm 2 intensity). All specimens were immersed in normal saline for 1 week at 37 °C.

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the distribution of selected cariogenic bacteria in samples from five different oral habitats in young Greek children.
Design: Ninety-three children 3-12 years old (mean + SD 7.
The purpose of this study was to compare the type of injuries, complications and treatment in permanent traumatized teeth with single and multiple dental trauma episodes (MDTE). One hundred and fifty-five children, aged 6-14 years, sustaining one or more traumatic episodes to permanent teeth were included in this investigation. After the medical and dental history the patients were examined clinically and radiographically and the diagnosis of trauma, the treatment plan and the applied treatment were recorded.

Methods: Seventy-five amalgam and 75 compomer restorations were placed in 75 children based on a split-mouth design. The restorations were evaluated after 1 week and after 6, 12, 18, and 24 months of oral function.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the survival rate and median survival time of different stages of proximal caries in 196 children aged 6 to 8 years at baseline examination.
Methods: Proximal caries and its progression were diagnosed from bitewing radiographs taken at 1-year intervals over a period of 4 years. The mesial surface of the first permanent molars, the mesial and distal surfaces of the first and second primary molars, and the distal surface of the primary canine were examined.
