Usefulness of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools in Pediatric Dentistry.

: Generative artificial intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT has developed rapidly in recent years, and in the medical field, its usefulness for diagnostic assistance has been reported. However, there are few reports of AI use in dental fields. : We created 20 questions that we had encountered in clinical pediatric dentistry, and collected the responses to these questions from three types of generative AI.

Inhibitory Effects of Surface Pre-Reacted Glass Ionomer Filler Eluate on in the Presence of Sucrose.

The surface pre-reacted glass ionomer (S-PRG) filler is a type of bioactive functional glass that releases six different ions. This study examined the effects of the S-PRG filler eluate on in the presence of sucrose. In a solution containing , the concentrations of BO, Al, Sr, and F were significantly higher in the presence of the S-PRG filler eluate than in its absence ( < 0.

Dental Abnormalities in Pediatric Patients Receiving Chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy is a common treatment for pediatric cancer. Although life prognosis is improving because of advances in medical science, it is important to deal with late effects such as dental abnormalities. We investigated the association between dental abnormalities and chemotherapy by age and tooth type.

Five-Year Follow-Up of a Child with Non-Syndromic Oligodontia from before the Primary Dentition Stage: A Case Report.

Background: Congenital absence of teeth is a major dental abnormality in pediatric dentistry and the absence of six or more teeth is defined as oligodontia. Few reports of patients with non-syndromic oligodontia without systemic disease have continued dental follow-up from an early age.

Methods: We performed the five-year follow-up from before the eruption of the primary dentition of a Japanese child with non-syndromic oligodontia and analyzed changes in dental arch growth.

A Third Supernumerary Tooth Occurring in the Same Region: A Case Report.

The presence of a supernumerary tooth is one of the most common dental anomalies, and surgical treatment is often required to address this anomaly. Moreover, it may lead to malocclusion, and long-term follow-up is important to monitor its status. A 4-year-and-11-month-old boy was referred to our hospital for dental caries treatment.

Dental radiographic information of term newborn babies within the first month: Analyzing five radiographic cases along with physical attributes in Japan.

Background: Although dental radiography is a valuable tool for age estimation in forensic anthropology and odontology, very limited radiological data are available regarding tooth development in healthy newborn babies during the first month of life.

Aim: This study aimed to describe the radiological findings of tooth development in babies aged 0 days to 1 month.

Design: We analyzed the postmortem findings of five newborn babies with no known natural cause of death who had undergone autopsy, computed tomography (CT), and dental radiography.

Three-year survey of oral hygiene conditions of Cambodian public primary school children.

Purpose: The purpose of this repeated cross-sectional study was to investigate the prevalence and severity of oral hygiene conditions in Cambodian primary school children.

Methods: Oral examinations were conducted on 2,020 school children (1st-6th grade) at a public primary school in Siem Reap, Cambodia from 2013 to 2015, focusing on plaque adhesion, gingiva, and dental calculus deposition. Data analysis was performed on 1,998 children without any missing data, and the chi-square test was used to compare the variables.
