ABSTRACT
Objective @# To investigate the clinical effects of different restoration methods on large area defect of deciduous molars. @*Methods @#A total of 150 deciduous molars were selected and randomly divided into three groups: A, B and C. Group A was repaired with glass ionomer and compound resin, B group was repaired by Hall technique, and C group was repaired with metal preformed crown. The successful rate of restoration in 6 and 12 months was compared between the three groups.@*Results@#There was no significant difference between three groups in A, B and C (P > 0.05) in 6 months; the successful rate of 12 months repair in group B and C was significantly higher than that in group A (P < 0.05). @*Conclusion @#The success rate of Hall technique and metal performed crown is higher than that of glass ionomer and composite resin on the repair of large defects of deciduous molars.

ABSTRACT
Background: The eruption age at which the deciduous teeth start appearing in the oral cavity has been of great significance and interest to investigators and parents mainly due to its relation to the growth and development of the child. Objective: To determine the mean eruption time and sequence of primary dentition among a sample of Sudanese children in Khartoum localities and to investigate the effect of gender and breastfeeding pattern on the timing and sequence of eruption. Material and Methods: Random sample of 563 Sudanese children (283 boys and 280 girls) aging 4-40 months were clinically examined and inspected for the eruption of primary teeth. The age of eruption of the teeth was estimated using Probit regression. In addition, an independent sample t-test was used for the comparison between genders as well as exclusive and non-exclusive breastfeeding. Results: All the primary teeth erupted earlier in boys than in girls except the first primary molars. The first primary teeth to erupt were the mandibular central incisors at the mean age of 8.02 ± 3.28 months. No significant difference was found in the eruption time between right and left sides of jaws as well as between children with exclusive breastfeeding and non exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusion: The first primary teeth to erupt were mandibular central incisors, with a mean age of eruption 8.02 ± 3.28 months followed by maxillary central incisors; mean age of eruption 10.64 ± 3.75 months and maxillary second molars was the last teeth to be erupted, at 26.22 ± 5.29 months.
Introdução: A cronologia de erupção dos dentes decíduos na cavidade oral tem sido de grande importância e de interesse para pesquisadores e pais , principalmente devido sua relação com o crescimento e desenvolvimento da criança. Objetivo: Determinar a cronologia e sequência de erupção da dentição decídua em uma amostra de crianças sudanesas de localidades de Khartoum; e investigar o efeito do gênero e padrão de amamentação materna no tempo e sequência de erupção. Materiais e Métodos: Uma amostra aleatória de 563 crianças sudanesas (283 meninos e 280 meninas), com idade de 4-40 meses receberam exame clínico para verificar a erupção dos dentes decíduos. A idade de erupção dos dentes foi estimada por meio de regressão Probit . Além disso, foi utilizado o teste T para amostras independentes para comparação entre os gêneros e o aleitamento materno exclusivo e não exclusivo. Resultados: Todos os dentes decíduos irromperam mais cedo em meninos do que em meninas, exceto para os primeiros molares decíduos. Os primeiros dentes decíduos em erupção foram os incisivos centrais inferiores, com idade média de 8,02 ± 3,28 meses. Nenhuma diferença significativa foi encontrada no tempo de erupção entre os lados direito e esquerdo da mandíbula , bem como entre as crianças com aleitamento materno exclusivo e aleitamento materno não exclusivo. Conclusão: Os primeiros dentes decíduos em erupção foram incisivos centrais inferiores, com uma idade média de erupção 8,02 ± 3,28 meses, seguidos de incisivos centrais superiores,com idade de erupção de 10,64 ± 3,75 meses, e os segundos molares superiores foram os últimos dentes a irromperem, com 26,22 ± 5,29 meses.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a perda precoce de molares decíduos em crianças atendidas na Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade Federal da Bahia, nos anos de 2010 e 2011. Foram examinados 153 prontuários de crianças entre 03 e 09 anos de idade, onde destas, 35,3% apresentaram perda precoce de molares decíduos, sendo 59,25% do sexo masculino e 40,75% do feminino. A maior frequência de perda precoce de molares decíduos ocorreu em pacientes com nove anos de idade (37%). Quanto à distribuição das perdas em relação ao elemento dentário, observou-se que o segundo molar decíduo inferior esquerdo (75) foi o dente mais acometido, perfazendo um total de 17,1%. Em relação à arcada dentária, as perdas que ocorreram exclusivamente na mandíbula totalizaram 51,9% dos casos, enquanto que 12,9% ocorreram somente na maxila, e, em 35,2% dos prontuários avaliados, as perdas ocorreram em ambas as arcadas. Ressalta-se a fundamental importância de práticas e métodos educativos e preventivos no atendimento às crianças, para que a perda precoce de dentes decíduos seja reduzida, e, quando existente, mantenedores de espaço sejam instalados para prevenir possíveis consequências das perdas prematuras de molares decíduos, como a ocorrência de maloclusões.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the early loss of deciduous molars in children assisted by the School of Dentistry of the Federal University of Bahia (FOUFBA) in the years of 2010 and 2011. Data was collected through the exploration of the medical records of 153 children, between 03 and 09 years old. We found that 35.3% of the records evaluated had early loss of one or more deciduous molars, where 59,25% were males and 40.75% females. The higher frequency of early loss of deciduous molars occurred in patients who are nine years old (37%). The lower left second deciduous molar was the most frequently tooth lost (17.1%). With regard to the arcade, the losses that occurred exclusively in the mandible corresponded to 51.9%, whereas 12,9% occurred only in the maxilla and in 35.2% of the records accessed, the losses occurred in both arches. The results of this study emphasizes the fundamental importance of practices and methods in educational and preventive dental care for children, so that the early loss of deciduous tooth could be reduced, and, if it occurs, space maintainers should be installed to prevent unwanted consequences of premature tooth loss.
ABSTRACT
Objetivando estabelecer qual anti-inflamatório não esteroidal é mais seguro para o uso infantil, foi realizada uma avaliação do conhecimento desse tipo de medicamento e seu uso clínico entre médicos e dentistas. Foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa de campo, utilizando-se um questionário único para médicos e dentistas em que os profissionais responderam se utilizavam ou não esse medicamento no paciente infantil. Havia alternativas de opções de anti-inflamatórios não esteroidais amplamente divulgados e utilizados. Observou-se grande divergência de escolha entre a classe médica e odontológica desses fármacos, tendo poucos profissionais optado pela não utilização desses medicamentos. Ao comparar as respostas dos profissionais com a revisão de literatura, concluiu-se que o medicamento que possui menos efeitos colaterais é o Ibuprofeno, razão por que se indica o uso desse fármaco diante de um processo inflamatório, quando há necessidade do controle da inflamação do paciente pediátrico.
The aim of this study was to establish which non-steroidal anti-inflammatory is safer for children use; it was made an assessment knowledge using this type of medication and its use among doctors and dentists. We conducted a survey, using a single questionnaire for doctors and dentists, where professionals responded whether they use this drug in children or not. There were also alternatives of non-steroidal anti-inflamatory drugs widely disseminated and used. We observed a large difference when choosing this kind of drug among doctors and dentists, and few have opted not to use it. By comparing the responses of professionals with the literature review, it was concluded that the drug which has fewer side effects is ibuprofen, therefore the use of this drug on the inflammatory process when there is a need to control the inflammation of the pediatric patient.
ABSTRACT
Presence of accessory cusp on the occlusal surface of a tooth may occasionally pose problems to dentists’. Although its presents may not be a cause for alarm in most instances, nevertheless it can lead to serious consequences if it is damaged. This report describes a rare finding of bilateral central accessory cusp seen on the occlusal surface of both the 2nd maxillary deciduous molars and the need for continuous dental surveillance and preventive measures have been highlighted.
