Comprehensive Pediatric Dentistry: A Multifaceted Approach

Pediatric dentistry is a diverse field that encompasses various aspects, all of which contribute to successful patient care. One of the primary concerns in pediatric dentistry is early childhood caries, which remains one of the most common reasons for children to visit a dental clinic and may require extensive therapy.

A comprehensive approach to pediatric dentistry involves age-appropriate patient guidance, consistent implementation of preventive measures in both professional and home environments, optimal selection of restorative treatments, and often necessary indications for sedation or anesthesia procedures.

Current Aspects of Caries Management

Beyond caries management, other contributions focus on structural disorders of teeth, with a particular emphasis on the clinical problem of Molar-Incisive-Hypomineralization (MIH). The etiology of this relatively new dental issue remains unclear, and there are uncertainties among dentists regarding the treatment of hypomineralized teeth.

Furthermore, this book covers topics such as bioactive endodontic MTA cements, bruxism in children and adolescents, emergency treatment for odontogenic infections and abscesses, and the care of children and adolescents with disabilities and additional support needs.

A Compendium of Expert Insights

All contributions have been previously published in the “Kinderzahnmedizin” section of “Quintessenz Zahnmedizin” and have been updated, revised, and recompiled for this book by the editor.

Discover the latest insights and research in pediatric dentistry, covering a broad range of topics and providing a comprehensive understanding of this multifaceted field.
