Anticipatory Guidance for Children and Adolescents With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic neurodevelopmental disorder that often presents in early childhood and, for most people, persists into adulthood. The symptom presentation and impact on functioning often evolve over time as children reach the developmental stages of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Children with ADHD are at risk of comorbid disorders, as well as potential cumulative adverse outcomes, if their ADHD is not adequately or appropriately treated in a timely manner.

Answering Parent Questions About Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Clinicians caring for children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) must be prepared to answer questions about the disorder and its treatment from parents who are unfamiliar with ADHD, as well as those who have been exposed to information and misinformation about it. In this article, we provide evidence-based responses to common questions and concerns that parents and guardians have about their child's ADHD diagnosis and treatment options. .

An in vitro study of orthodontic brackets bonded to transition dental zirconia: Shear bond strength, adhesive remnant index, and surface irregularities.

Purpose: Orthodontic treatment often involves bonding brackets to teeth, and the protocols for natural enamel differ from those for prosthodontically restored teeth. With the rising number of adult orthodontic patients, many present with zirconia crowns. This study aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of ceramic orthodontic brackets bonded to transition dental zirconia, which combines 3Y-TZP and 5Y-TZP powders.
