The Association of Early Childhood Caries with Salivary Antimicrobial Peptide LL37 and Mutans Streptococci
Conclusions: The low salivary LL37 level and higher S. mutans and S. sobrinus count in ECC supported the protective role of salivary LL37 against dental caries. Further studies are required to explore the definite relation between salivary LL37 levels and dental caries. (Source: Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry)

Dilemma in the Treatment of a Central Giant Cell Granuloma
We present an eight-year-old boy suffering from an extraordinarily large CGCG expanding into the mandible and base of the mouth in the whole anterior region. Combined treatment with surgical intervention and corticosteroid application was successfully applied, and all six attached dental germs could be preserved. Different approaches for clinical management in pediatric cases are discussed. (Source: Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry)

Effect of Exposure Times of Sodium Hypochlorite before Acid Etching on the Microshear Bond Strength to Fluorotic Enamel
Conclusion: The maximal μSBS is acquired by using 5.25% NaOCl at 60s for mild fluorotic enamel but 120s for the moderate. The prolonged application time of 5.25% NaOCl prior to phosphoric acid etching improves enamel-etching pattern. Treatment of 5.25% NaOCl decreases proteins on the fluorotic enamel surface.

Medication Errors: Common Pitfalls and Recommendations in Pediatric Dentistry Practice
Parallel to the development of new medications for various diseases run the threat of medication errors. These errors though common, very few are fatal and so goes unnoticed. Such errors occurring with pediatric population can be a major predicament. This review aims to address the various parametric variations and considerations in pediatric population so as to minimize medication errors. A detailing about various causes, types and levels of errors, ways of analysing the amount of error and the essential knowledge about prescription writing which could reduce the incidents have been paid attention to. The article also dis...

Criteria of Hospital Inpatient Admission of Pediatric Dental Patient
Some dental conditions that are presented to the pediatric emergency department need hospital inpatient admission to facilitate supportive care, provide dental treatment and monitor the physiologic state of the child. The decision to treat the pediatric dental patient as an outpatient or inpatient is very important to control the overuse of hospital resources and at the same time not placing the child at the risk of rapid deterioration. However, no available guidelines or validated measures for the correct decision to treat the patient in either inpatient or outpatient care settings that can be used specifically for pediat...

Dental Management of Congenital Granular Cell Lesion and Neonatal Teeth: A Case Report
This report describes a case of eruption of neonatal teeth after surgical excision of CGCL. Surprisingly, residual neonatal teeth erupted after extraction of the neonatal teeth. If neonatal teeth are mobile, they should be carefully extracted with curettage of the underlying tissues of the dental papilla; failure to curette the socket might result in eruption of odontogenic remnants. If neonatal teeth were exfoliated, parents should be informed of the need for regular checkups with a dentist due to possibility of development of residual neonatal teeth.

Association of Salivary Zinc Levels to Dental Caries and Body Mass Index. A Comparative Study
Conclusion: Overweight/obese children demonstrated significantly lower salivary zinc levels and higher caries experience in permanent dentition. Salivary zinc levels showed a positive but weak association to caries in permanent dentition in both groups. Salivary zinc levels showed a negative non-significant correlation to caries in primary dentition among the children with higher BMI. (Source: Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry)
