DDS, PhD, Professor. University of Pernambuco, School of Dentistry - Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil.
Background: To investigate the effectiveness of a novel agent containing Nano Silver Fluoride 1500 (NSF 1500) and chitosan to inactivate carious lesions in children.
Material And Methods: The study included eighty children. While both groups had fluoride dentifrice applied to their teeth, only the experimental group received treatment with the NSF 1500-ppm solution.

This exploratory study investigated whether children with dental decay were more likely to have COVID-19 than those without caries. The children underwent dental inspection and blood collection for detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Fifty-four children aged 6 to 9 years participated in the survey, which was conducted between March and June 2020 in the municipality of Ipojuca, Pernambuco, Brazil.

Article Synopsis
- Prevention is crucial in pediatric dentistry, and pit and fissure sealants help control early dental lesions before they turn into cavities.
- Research indicates that glass-ionomer cement (GIC) sealants may outperform resin-based options due to their fluoride release and strong adhesion, although GIC has lower strength and is prone to fracture.
- The study introduces an apatite-ionomer cement (AIC) that blends hydroxyapatite with GIC to enhance its strength and functional properties, making it a promising material for preventing tooth decay and aiding remineralization.

University of Pernambuco, School of Dentistry - Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Camaragibe, Pernambuco, Brazil. Electronic address:
Background: In Brazil, in October 2015, an outbreak of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection and an increase in newborns with microcephaly suggested a relationship between maternal infection and microcephaly in children.
Objective: First, to assess the presence of dental bud sin 13 infants with a confirmed diagnosis of congenital ZIKV syndrome, born to mothers infected with the virus during pregnancy; second, to evaluate the dental development of these children at a 36-month follow-up.
Design: Case-based longitudinal study.

Seoul National University, School of Dentistry Department of Pediatric Dentistry & Dental Research Institute, 28-2 Yongon-dong, Chongno-gu, Seoul, Korea 110-749.
By the Shields classification, articulated over 30 years ago, inherited dentin defects are divided into 5 types: 3 types of dentinogenesis imperfecta (DGI), and 2 types of dentin dysplasia (DD). DGI type I is osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) with DGI. OI with DGI is caused, in most cases, by mutations in the 2 genes encoding type I collagen.
