Objectives: Epidemiological data regarding the evolution of problems related to mastication and swallowing with age are lacking. This study aims to (i) describe changes in oral function with age, using data from a large French population, (ii) validate online, self-report uses of an ICF questionnaire in older persons, and (iii) assess whether impairment is related to avoidance of certain foods, xerostomia, body mass index (BMI) and oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL).
Methods: Volunteers aged ≥18 years with internet access completed a series of questionnaires on sociodemographic, anthropometric and oral health characteristics (oral function, Xerostomia Index (XI), OHRQoL, reasons for avoidance of certain food).
Background: Using the granulometry of ready-to-swallow food boluses, this study investigated the evolution of masticatory capability of children with Early Childhood Caries (ECC) after comprehensive dental treatment under general anesthesia (GA).
Methods: Sixteen children with ECC were assessed before and over one year after dental treatment under GA, in comparison with 12 children with a Healthy Oral State (HOS). Oral health criteria, quality of life, body mass index, and frequency of orofacial dysfunctions were recorded.
Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to assess the effect of a root canal treatment (RCT) practical simulation-based session using 3D printed primary molars on the self-confidence of fourth-year undergraduate dental students. Our study was also designed to explore student experiences with both manual and rotary RCT procedures and to investigate the association between the self-confidence in undertaking an RCT and the quality of the RCT.
Methods: Student global self-confidence in undertaking an RCT on a healthy, cooperative child aged 4-5 years was evaluated 2 h before, 1 month after, and 11 months after the simulation training session.
This case report presents the treatment of a 33-year-old patient with a genetic, generalized microdontia of permanent teeth. Microdontia is a developmental dental anomaly of the teeth characterized by a decrease in their size. In the literature, treatment has been multidisciplinary, often utilizing orthodontics and implantology.

- Endodontic treatment is crucial for managing dental trauma, especially in young patients with luxation or avulsion, to prevent long-term complications.
- A clinical case of a 10-year-old with severe dental trauma illustrated the effectiveness of delayed endodontic treatment to maintain the dental space while waiting for implant options.
- A multi-disciplinary approach is essential in treating adolescent dental trauma, considering factors like treatment difficulty, prognosis, and growth stages.
