Disease relevance of Pediatric Dentistry

• This case report describes a 14-year-old female referred to Pediatric Dentistry for evaluation and treatment of cyclosporine-induced gingival hyperplasia [1].
• We describe cases of children with Williams syndrome treated in the department of Pediatric Dentistry of the Hadassah School of Dental Medicine, Jerusalem, Israel. The different treatments rendered to these children are discussed followed by general remarks drawn from those treatments and from a literature review [2].

High impact information on Pediatric Dentistry

• The combination of chloral hydrate and nitrous oxide (N2O) is often used for sedation in pediatric dentistry [3].
• Use of ketamine in pediatric dentistry [4].
• Based on studies in animals and clinical findings in humans, there has been a movement in pediatric dentistry to find alternatives to formocresol and calcium hydroxide for pulpotomy therapy [5].
• PURPOSE: The purpose of this report was to describe the quantity of published literature and types of studies supporting the use of 4 pediatric dentistry procedures: (1) ferric sulfate pulpotomy; (2) stainless steel crowns; (3) space maintainers; and (4) atraumatic restorative technique (ART) [6].
• In the last 20 years, 5 cases of Ellis-van Creveld syndrome have been followed at the Pediatric Dentistry Service of the Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, Barcelona [7].

Biological context of Pediatric Dentistry

• An update on pain and anxiety control in pediatric dentistry. Part II. Inhalation sedation and local anesthesia [8].

Associations of Pediatric Dentistry with chemical compounds

• SETTING: Faculty of Medicine and Odontology/Pediatric cardiology and Pedodontics, Umeå University, Sweden [9].
• The use of hydroxyzine as a premedicant in pediatric dentistry [10].
• Latex is ubiquitous in pediatric dentistry and medical practice [11].
• Intravenous sedation in pediatric dentistry using midazolam, nalbuphine and droperidol [12].
• Nitrous oxide as a potential health hazard in pediatric dentistry: protocol, May, 1987 [13].

Gene context of Pediatric Dentistry

• The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry established a "Task Force on Work Force Issues" approximately 18 months ago and charged that group to seek methods for creating more training positions [14].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Pediatric Dentistry

• Therapeutic assessment of chloral hydrate premedication for pediatric dentistry [15].
