Tooth avulsion is defined as the complete displacement of the tooth out of its alveolar socket. Management of tooth avulsion in the permanent dentition often presents a challenge. Replantation of avulsed teeth is the most accepted treatment approach considering esthetic and functionality. The aim of this case report is to present the multidisciplinary treatment approach and long-term follow-up of a patient (9. ♀) with avulsed maxillary central teeth.

Background: The appearance of the clinician is considered to have an effect on a patient′s impression of the dental environment and to affect the doctor-patient relationship. Aim: The aim of this study was to identify children′s and parents′ preferences regarding dentist′s attire and their relationship to dental anxiety, previous experiences, and socioeconomic levels. Methods: The study was conducted with 500 patients between 5 and 11 years of age and their parents. Participants were asked to respond a questionnaire, and preference of dental attire was determined by showing photographs of either a female or a male pediatric dentist in the three different modes of attire. Statistics: Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U-test, and Spearmen Rho correlation test were used for statistical analysis. Results: The majority of children and their parents were found to prefer pediatric dentists to wear white coats; however, children with a systemic disease, dental anxiety, and previous negative dental experience preferred casual dress (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Previous experiences and general health have a strong effect on children′s preferences related to their dentist′s attire.

A thorough knowledge of the root morphology and variations closely relates with the success of endodontic therapy. Although it is rare, additional roots or canals may exist in maxillary incisors, which is an important variation to consider. This paper describes the multidisciplinary management of a maxillary central incisor and a lateral incisor, both of which presented two roots with aberrant crown morphology that was verified by cone beam computed tomography and restored with prosthetic rehabilitation involving full-contour monolithic zirconia crown after root canal treatment.

To report the case with complete secondary cleft palate who was treated successfully in one stage with a combination of Furlow′s double-reversing Z-plasty technique and modified von Langenbeck method. Secondary cleft palate was completely treated with the combination of Furlow′s double-reversing Z-palatoplasty and modified von Langenbeck method in an adolescent male patient and also surgical stent was used postoperatively for 2 weeks. As a result, we believe that a combination of these techniques was useful and successful method to treat wide unilateral or bilateral cleft palate in one stage.

Oral health is an important part of the general health of children. Collaborative relationships between physicians and dentists can help improve oral and overall health of children. The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge and attitude of undergraduate medical students on early childhood caries (ECC) and infant oral health (IOH). A cross-sectional study was conducted among undergraduate medical students to assess their knowledge and attitude on ECC and IOH through a self-administered questionnaire which consisted of four parts. The questionnaire assessed the students′ knowledge of IOH, which included IOH care visits, time of tooth eruption, oral hygiene measures in children, the etiology, prevention, transmission of ECC and the students′ attitude concerning general IOH and ECC. A total of 129 students participated in the study with a mean age of 24.2 ± 3.0 years. There were 74 males and 55 females. Concerning tooth eruption, most of the students (75.2%) knew that a child′s first tooth erupts at about 6-7 months of age. Only 32.6% of the respondents agreed that a child′s first visit to the dentist should be on or before the age of 1 year, 70.5% knew that a mother should start cleaning her child′s teeth as soon as the first primary tooth erupts. Only 14.7% of them knew that ECC is transmissible from mother to child, about 74.4% agreed that putting babies to sleep with a bottle containing infant formula/breast milk can predispose to ECC. Among the students, 23.3% of them associated on demand/prolonged breastfeeding with ECC. Majority of the students had good knowledge of general IOH but had poor knowledge with regards to the etiology and prevention of ECC. Conclusion: There is a need to increase the knowledge of medical students on IOH especially in the etiology and prevention of ECC.

Traumatic injuries of newly erupted permanent anterior teeth are common during childhood. Management of tooth avulsion in the permanent dentition often presents a challenge Replantation of the avulsed tooth can restore esthetic appearance and occlusal function shortly after the injury. This article describes the management of a 9-year-old child with an avulsed maxillary permanent incisor that had been air-dried for about 24 h. The replanted incisor retained its esthetic appearance and functionality only 1 year after replantation. In the present case, improper treatment measures such as prolonged dry conditions of the avulsed tooth before replantation, rigid splinting may explain rapid complete root resorption. Even if it is impossible to avoid resorption completely, the overall knowledge of both dentists and patients regarding immediate measures in case of traumatic dental injuries should be improved to delay the progress of resorption.

Hypoparathyroidism cases without etiology diagnosed in the first 10 years of life are called as idiopathic hypoparathyroidism (IHP). IHP is a rare endocrinological disorder among hypoparathyroidism cases, and the anomalies accompanying it are infrequently observed. Ca ++ metabolism disorders occurring during the formation of tooth germs may cause enamel defects in teeth, enamel hypoplasia, enlarged pulp chambers, short roots, late eruptions, and missing teeth. The case presented in this article is a good example in terms of demonstrating how tooth damage ends with the commencement of treatment. Within this article, the results of a 9-year-old male IHP patient are discussed based on the literature. The said patient could not be diagnosed until the age of 18 months so developed enamel hypoplasia as well as enamel defects in this period due to abnormal mineralization, and no problems were observed in his dental tissue that formed after the ionic equilibrium was ensured following the diagnosis.
