Study Notes
Pediatric Restorative Treatment: Diagnosis and Introduction
- Restorative treatment in pediatric dentistry is based on appropriate clinical examination and is part of a comprehensive treatment plan, as per the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) reference manual revised in 2020.
- The treatment plan considers the developmental status of the dentition, caries-risk assessment, patient’s oral hygiene, anticipated parental compliance, and the patient’s ability to cooperate for treatment.
- The caries management plan should be tailored to the child and parent preferences, age, medical and dental history, and extent of treatment needs.
- The examination process for a child patient's first visit to the pedodontics clinic is crucial, requiring the dentist to establish trust by communicating with the child and family.
- A detailed history, including oral, intraoral, and radiological examinations, is essential during the first examination appointment, with parental information being important for diagnosis during anamnesis.
- Behavioral guidance techniques are crucial for successful treatment in pediatric dentistry, followed by the establishment of an accurate diagnosis.
- The patient registration form should include personal information, health status, past dental experience, extraoral and intraoral findings, and treatment planning.
- The numbering recommended by the FDI is used for recording teeth, with permanent teeth registered with numerals and primary teeth with Roman numerals.
- Anamnesis, including medical, social, nutritional, and dental history, is crucial for correct diagnosis and proper treatment planning.
- Examination should be done under three main headings: extraoral examination, intra-oral examination, and radiological examination.
- Diagnosis is the recognition of a problem, while treatment is the solution, illustrating the importance of accurate diagnosis in pediatric restorative treatment.
- This information is from Dent 4002 Pediatric Dentistry II, by Associate Professor Banu Öter, DDS, PhD, at Bahçeşehir University School of Dental Medicine Department of Pediatric Dentistry.
Behavioral Management Techniques in Pediatric Dentistry
- The first mention in dental literature of measuring the success or failure of a child’s appointment by anything other than technical proficiency was made.
- One definition of behavior guidance in pediatric dentistry is to effectively and efficiently perform treatment for a child while instilling a positive dental attitude.
- Quadrant dentistry, utilizing auxiliary personnel, is vital in the delivery of efficient service to children in private practice.
- The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry emphasizes enhancing communication and partnering with the child and parent to promote a positive attitude and good oral health.
- The attitude and integrity of the entire dental team are crucial in the fundamentals of behavior guidance.
- Recognizing and acknowledging a patient’s fear and anxiety is important in building trust in caring for children.
- Recognizing individual tolerance levels and being flexible in treatment plans are crucial in the treatment of children.
- Distraction is a method that helps a child focus attention on a preferred activity to think less about another, and it is a form of behavior modification.
- Today’s children differ from past generations due to earlier school starts and increased awareness through the media.
- Parental concerns, legal, and ethical considerations have resulted in a decreased use of physical approaches in behavior guidance for pediatric dental patients.
- Dental students and dentists must keep abreast of the times in this highly dynamic area of pediatric dentistry.
- The modern behavior guidance for pediatric dental patients places a greater focus on communication techniques and decreased or discontinued use of physical approaches.
Restorative Treatment in Pediatric Patients: Key Points
- Early childhood caries (ECC) is prevalent and affects children aged 71 months and younger, as well as their parents, with ECC defined as an infectious disease affecting any primary tooth.
- The prevalence of ECC in developed countries was reported as 23.7% from 1994-2004, with efforts to decrease it to 11% by 2010, but it remains high (40.7%-69.8%) among preschool children in Turkey.
- The initial step in managing caries involves temporizing open cavities with materials such as zinc oxide and eugenol cement or packable glass ionomer cement.
- Historically, the belief that caries is a progressive disease requiring surgical and restorative intervention has shifted, recognizing that not all caries lesions require restoration.
- Restorative therapy benefits include eliminating caries-susceptible areas, stopping tooth demineralization, restoring tooth structure and function, preventing infection spread, and preventing tooth shifting due to lost structure.
- Risks of restorative therapy include reducing tooth longevity, recurrent lesions, restoration failure, pulp exposure, future pulpal complications, and iatrogenic damage to adjacent teeth, with primary teeth being more susceptible to restoration failures than permanent teeth.
- Guidelines emphasize the importance of identifying individual risk for caries progression, understanding disease progression, and utilizing active surveillance, preventive services, and restorative therapy when indicated.
- Decisions on when to restore caries lesions should consider clinical criteria like visual enamel cavitation, shadowing, and radiographic progression of lesions.
- Definitive restoration techniques in young children should consider the active nature of the disease, with stainless steel crowns recommended for extensive caries, teeth affecting more than two surfaces, and teeth requiring pulpotomy or pulpectomy.
- Commonly used restorative materials in preschool children include glass ionomer cements, resin-modified glass ionomer cements, polyacid-modified resins, and composite resins, all of which are moisture-sensitive and require adequate isolation, preferably under a rubber dam.
- The maintenance of a clean operating field during cavity preparation and restorative material placement is crucial for efficient operation and development of a serviceable restoration, with rubber dams aiding in this maintenance and offering advantages such as time-saving, anxiety management, and saliva control.
- The use of rubber dams is known to save time, aid in management, and control saliva, making it an important consideration during ideal cavity preparation for primary teeth.
Pediatric Cavity Preparation and Restoration Techniques
- Traditional class II cavity preparation for amalgam requires buccal and lingual extensions to self-cleansing areas.
- Cavity design should have greater buccal and lingual extension at the cervical area for proper contact with adjacent teeth.
- The width of the preparation at the isthmus should be approximately one-third the intercuspal dimension.
- Axiopulpal line angle should be beveled or grooved to reduce stress concentration and provide greater bulk of material.
- Occlusal surfaces of molar teeth account for about 90% of caries in children, with the most rapid rise in decay rates during late childhood and adolescence.
- Incipient class I cavity in very young children may require minimal restorative intervention and can be performed without a rubber dam or local anesthetic.
- Use of preventive resin restoration, preceded by a dentin-bonding agent, may be considered if the child is cooperative.
- Lesions in the inner half of the enamel of the mesial surface of the first permanent molar progress relatively fast between 6 and 12 years of age.
- Extreme care must be taken when breaking through the marginal ridge to prevent damage to the adjacent proximal surface during the preparation of a class II cavity in a primary tooth.
- Carious lesions on the proximal surfaces of anterior primary teeth may occur in children with arch inadequacy or crowding.
- Small conventional class III cavity may be prepared and restored with bonding materials if the carious lesion has not advanced appreciably into the dentin and does not weaken the incisal angle.
- The distal surface of the primary canine is a frequent site of caries attack, and restoring it adequately can be difficult due to the position of the tooth in the arch and the characteristically broad contact between the distal surface of the canine and the mesial surface of the primary molar.
Restorative Treatment for Young Permanent Teeth
- A fifth of 12- and 15-year-old children reported difficulty eating, and half reported life impact due to teeth or mouth problems.
- The eruption of first permanent molars often goes unnoticed until problems arise.
- When first erupting, the roots of permanent teeth are incompletely formed and take up to 5 years to complete.
- Three methods of caries removal have been compared, including complete excavation, stepwise excavation, and partial excavation.
- Evidence shows that incomplete caries excavation reduces pulp exposures in primary and permanent teeth.
- Indirect pulp capping involves leaving caries in the deepest part of the lesion and placing a base over the remaining carious dentine.
- The crucial factor in using any material for restoration is good isolation of the pulp from the oral environment.
- Studies found that remaining carious dentine mostly remineralizes and hardens without caries progression when using stepwise removal of caries and indirect pulp capping.
- Direct pulp capping is used when a small exposure is encountered during cavity preparation, aiming to preserve pulp vitality.
- Calcium hydroxide has traditionally been used as a remedial agent for direct pulp capping.
- Successful results have been reported with MTA and Biodentine® as pulpcapping agents.
- Before treatment, it is important to assess the situation correctly, ensuring no history of spontaneous pain, swelling, mobility, or discomfort.
Stainless Steel Crown Clinical Procedure and Variations
- Stainless Steel Crown (SSC) is the most durable, long-lasting, and cost-effective method.
- SSC offers better protection for the remaining tooth surface.
- However, SSC lacks good esthetic properties.
- The clinical procedure involves various steps including evaluation of pre-operative occlusion, local anesthesia administration, placement of rubber dam, appropriate crown size selection, tooth preparation and evaluation, crown adaptation, finishing and polishing, and cementation with removal of residual cement.
- The rubber dam protects surrounding tissues from bur injuries and increases patient comfort.
- The crown can be selected through measurement or trial and error methods.
- Tooth preparation involves occlusal, proximal, buccal, and lingual/palatal reduction while preserving original contour and achieving smooth taper.
- It aims to provide sufficient space for SSC, have sufficient tooth retention, and protect the gum.
- Excess cement should be removed for gingival health.
- For anterior teeth with extensive proximal lesions involving the incisal portion, the application technique is the same with posterior crowns.
- Open-face stainless-steel crowns involve cutting labial metal and restoring with resin-based composite, providing a more esthetic alternative.
- Pre-veneered stainless-steel crowns are covered on their buccal or facial surface with a tooth-colored coating of polyester/epoxy hybrid composition.
