Efficacy of a Modified Audio-Tactile Performance Technique with Braille (ATPb) on the Oral Hygiene Status of Visually-Impaired Children
Conclusions: All three techniques were successful when reinforced periodically. However, only ATP and ATPb were successful during periods without reinforcement. The modified audio-tactile performance technique with braille (ATPb) was most effective, allowing visually-impaired children to retain oral hygiene information without intervention.

Evaluation of Serum 25(OH)D Levels in Obese and Normal-Weight Children with Carious and Hypomineralized Teeth
Conclusion: Our analyses provide no evidence to suggest that obese children are at increased risk for dental caries. Serum 25(OH)D concentrations would not seem to have a significant effect on dental caries and MIH in children. (Source: Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry)

Oral Care in Kindler Syndrome: 7-Year Follow-up of 2 Brothers
Conclusion: Periodontitis in Kindler Syndrome responds to maintenance therapy, but the absence of surveillance is penalized by a deterioration in periodontal condition and complication of management. All restorative, endodontic, surgical, periodontal and orthodontic treatments should be performed with appropriate precautions. (Source: Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry)

Accuracy of Model Estimation versus Tanaka and Johnston Arch Length Analysis
Conclusions: More than half of the dentists surveyed that practice comprehensive orthodontics use arch length estimates. Pediatric dentists and pediatric dental residents are just as good as each other at estimating arch length. Pediatric dentists and pediatric dental residents underestimated arch length by –3.6 and –3.1 mm, respectively. More research needs to be done to determine if model estimation is a clinically acceptable way to judge arch length. (Source: Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry)

Teledentistry Platforms for Orthodontics
Technology has transformed almost every aspect of our lives. Smartphones enable patients to request, receive, and transmit information irrespective of the time and place. The global pandemic has forced healthcare providers to employ technology to aid in ‘flattening the curve. The Novel Coronavirus, which is responsible for COVID-19, is transmitted primarily through person-to-person contact but may also be spread through aerosol generating procedures, so many clinics have severely limited interpersonal interactions. The purpose of this article is to provide helpful information for those orthodontists considering some form...

Prevalence of Premature Eruption and Agenesis of Premolars in Turkish Children: A Retrospective Study
Conclusions: The prevalence of premature eruption and agenesis of premolars in Turkish children were 5.0% and 6.7%, respectively. Both conditions are not uncommon and may highlight the need for early diagnosis to prevent subsequent clinical problems. (Source: Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry)

Delayed Development of Maxillary Second Premolar: Case Report and Literature Review
Delayed tooth development (DTD) is the development progress of a tooth germ that takes place later due to local or general causes. This case report reviews a 16-year-old Asian adolescent whose bilateral upper second premolar germs were at Nolla ’s 6 stage as shown on a panoramic radiograph. It is unusual that tooth germs of the maxillary second premolar are developed after 11 years of age. To reduce the chance of misdiagnosis, clinicians should consider the possibility of DTD if a tooth germ does not present in radiographs. (Source: Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry)

Prefabricated Zirconia Crowns – A Solution to Treat Hypomineralized Permanent Molars: Report of a Case
The presence of carious lesions in children associated with developmental defects of enamel is frequently observed. Restoring these affected teeth can be a challenge for the clinician. Teeth with enamel defects may have poor or limited resin adhesion and some may require repeated restoration. Prefabricated zirconia permanent molar crowns were recently introduced as an option for restoring severely decayed and broken down young permanent molars. These new restorations offer an efficient, esthetic, and economic option to restore severely broken down carious permanent molars that may be associated with enamel defects in parti...

Pain and Anxiety Levels Using Conventional versus Computer-Controlled Local Anesthetic Systems in Pediatric Patients: A Meta-Analysis
The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the pain/anxiety levels associated with the anesthetic process by conventional and computer-controlled delivery systems (CCDS) in children. Four electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Dentistry& Oral Science Source/EBSCO) were comprehensively explored for eligible studies, in English or Spanish, published from January 1995 to December 2019. A systematic literature review and meta-analysis were conducted according to the PRISMA statement, including only randomized controlled clinical trials. An exhaustive search was perfo...
