Diagnostic agreement between visual examination and an automated scanner system with fluorescence for detecting and classifying occlusal carious lesions in primary teeth.

Objectives: To investigate the in vivo diagnostic agreement between visual examination (VE) using the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) and an automated scanner system for detecting and classifying carious lesions in primary teeth.

Methods: 5-year-old children (n = 216) underwent VE and intraoral scanning (TRIOS 4, 3Shape TRIOS A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark). Dental caries experience was recorded for each tooth surface using ICDAS.

Interventions with pregnant women, new mothers and other primary caregivers for preventing early childhood caries.

Background: Dental caries, a common chronic disease of childhood, is associated with adverse health and economic consequences for infants and their families. Socioeconomically disadvantaged children have a higher risk of early childhood caries (ECC). This review updates one published in 2019.

Caries Detection in Primary Teeth Using Intraoral Scanners Featuring Fluorescence: Protocol for a Diagnostic Agreement Study.

Background: Digital methods that enable early caries identification can streamline data collection in research and optimize dental examinations for young children. Intraoral scanners are devices used for creating 3D models of teeth in dentistry and are being rapidly adopted into clinical workflows. Integrating fluorescence technology into scanner hardware can support early caries detection.

The impact of COVID-19 on the well-being of Victorian children born with cleft lip and/or palate.

Background: A longitudinal cohort study was established to investigate the well-being of children born with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) during the COVID-19 pandemic, in Victoria, Australia.

Materials And Methods: The Royal Children's Hospital cleft service database was used to identify children aged between 4 and 17 years old born with an isolated CL/P. Families of eligible children who consented to participate were asked to complete the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) between October and December 2020 and again 6-month later.

The Early Operative Burden for Children Born with Cleft lip and Palate.

Objectives: to audit the surgical management of infants born with non-syndromic cleft lip and palate (CLP) at an Australian cleft unit in a large tertiary paediatric hospital.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: A tertiary Cleft centre.
