Endodontic management of a rare case of Type III Dens invaginatus in a maxillary canine combined with a previous occurrence of dental trauma.

Dens Invaginatus (DI) is a developmental anomaly which eventually leads to pulp necrosis and has several clinical implications in sufficient instrumentation and obturation of the root canal system. The present clinical report presents a rare case of a maxillary canine affected with DI leading to pulp necrosis combined with a previous dental trauma, which also led to irreversible pulp damage of the adjacent lateral incisor. A 14-year-old male patient with a history of dental trauma at the right maxillary region, one year earlier, was referred with pain and swelling at the apical area of the right maxillary canine.

Best clinical practice guidance for clinicians dealing with children presenting with molar-incisor-hypomineralisation (MIH): an updated European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry policy document.

Aim: To update the existing European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) 2010 policy document on the 'Best Clinical Practice guidance for clinicians dealing with children presenting with Molar-Incisor-Hypomineralisation (MIH).'

Methods: Experts, assigned the EAPD, worked on two different topics: (A) Aetiological factors involved in MIH, and (B) Treatment options for the clinical management of MIH. The group prepared two detailed systematic reviews of the existing literature relevant to the topics and following a consensus process produced the updated EAPD policy document on the 'Best Clinical Practice guidance for clinicians dealing with children presenting with molar-incisor-hypomineralisation (MIH).

An update of the aetiological factors involved in molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH): a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: To systematically review the aetiological factors associated with molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH). To this day, the aetiology remains unknown. Determining risk factors would allow risk assessment and enhance early diagnosis of MIH in young patients.

An update of treatment modalities in children and adolescents with teeth affected by molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH): a systematic review.

Purpose: To systematically review the treatment modalities for molar-incisor hypomineralisation for children under the age of 18 years. The research question was, 'What are the treatment options for teeth in children affected by molar incisor hypomineralisation?'

Methods: An electronic search of the following electronic databases was completed MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, LILACS, Google Scholar and Open Grey identifying studies from 1980 to 2020. The PRISMA guidelines were followed.

Guidelines on the use of fluoride for caries prevention in children: an updated EAPD policy document.

Aim: To update the exisitng European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) 2009 fluoride guidelines.

Methods: Experts met in Athens, Greece duirng November 2018 for the following groups: I Fluoride toothpastes, II Fluoride gels, rinses and varnishes, III Fluoridated milk, fluoridated salt, tablets/lozenges and drops, IV Water fluoridation. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses were reviewed and discussed for each of the groups.

A novel approach for building up infraoccluded ankylosed primary molars in cases of missing premolars: A case report.

Background: In cases of infraoccluded primary molars associated with agenesis of premolars, any treatment plan occasionally includes retention of the primary teeth for space preservation and future implant placement if needed. In these cases, building up the crowns to the occlusal line is necessary to prevent various clinical problems. The present case report describes in detail a novel but simple clinical approach for retention and building up of the crown of infraoccluded primary molars.

Εvaluation of a treatment protocol for unerupted maxillary central incisors: retrospective clinical study of 46 children.

Aim: To evaluate the clinical outcome of a treatment protocol performed in children with unerupted permanent maxillary central incisors, including surgical removal of any related obstruction and traction initiation in one stage, under fully repositioned flap, combined with pre- and post-operative orthodontics for space creation and final alignment.

Methods: Forty-six patients aged 7.3-12.

A comparative study of clinical effectiveness of fissure sealing with and without bonding systems: 3-year results.

Aim: This prospective clinical study evaluated the sealant retention rate and caries-preventive efficacy of two fissure sealing techniques over a 3-year period.

Methods: Subjects (87) aged between 6.5 and 11.
