Preservation of the health of primary dentition (baby teeth) is a necessary condition for the child’s well-being in the XXI century, ensuring adequate chewing, aesthetics, phonetics, and early prevention of dental-maxillary disharmonies, as well as vicious habits. Unfortunately – cavities (generically called baby bottle decays) are a serious and neglected public problem in Romania, severely mutilating the anterior and/or lateral frontal (milk) temporary teeth.
The miserable image of the child in the attached photo will probably not surprise and you may say: … there are so many others like him! Yes, indeed, both of you might see the crooked and mutilated cavity smiles of preschool children, on the streets, in the park, or even in your family – especially the HappyDent Clinic team see these issues daily! Unfortunately, and because of the genuine primary prevention policies, parents are alarmed only when the child’s toothache causes them sleepless nights or when the child refuses a varied diet and is phenotypically malnourished. Looking for a therapeutic solution, parents find out with amazement from the pediatrician that: …you don’t usually take the child to the dentist. Moreover, the general dentist answers them: … nothing can be done for him/her or he drains the teeth and leaves them like that! The entourage and “popular wisdom …” tells us: baby teeth… those will fall anyway! Thus, some children visit us too late for us to prevent anything else, however, treatment options can be considered, starting from the simple endodontic treatment and control of dental infection to the aesthetic reconstruction of the tooth/teeth.
Because of an error of communication of the Romanian medical system and of the pediatric dentistry – better said – because of the lack of interdisciplinarity between the two pediatric medical disciplines – the child’s chances to benefit from the protection of prevention and/or treatment of temporary cavities are minimum. Indeed, the young baby decay is, on the one hand, a consequence of the lack of any primary prevention program for infantile cavities and, on the other hand, of malnutrition of the newborn and in his/ her early childhood. The lack of a therapeutic approach or the classical therapeutic approach (drainage or extraction) is no longer an option to be accepted today. Both from a medical point of view, but also considering that children’s self-esteem starts developing at an early stage – and also of parents’ view – the demands are higher and higher.
Although, aesthetic restoration of affected temporary frontal teeth is a challenge even for pediatric dentistry (due to lack of specific therapeutic techniques and protocols but also due to the pre-cooperative young age of the target group – being difficult to manage) HappyDent Clinic Junior & Family can advise you preventively and about therapeutic solutions. Observe the child’s post-treatments rehabilitated smile performed at HappyDent Clinic Junior & Family (before and after the rehabilitation treatments).
The showcase is taken from the clinical case reports and treated through pediatric methods, optimized with distinctive modern techniques: Aesthetic Rehabilitation/ Endodontics (RDE), Biomaterials, Minimally-Invasive Dentistry. Endodontic treatment followed immediately or in the second session of crown-and-root reconstitution of composite pivots reinforced with fiberglass and composites/cement, adhesives 3M Espe and Frasaco conforming layers, presented in the pictures, shows the reliability of this method and draws attention to the technical reconsideration treatment of anterior frontal temporary teeth and warns the authorities to establish prevention policies.
Clinical cases
Baby bottle decay is a serious and neglected issue, being a consequence of bad malnutrition of newborns and their early childhood, that severely mutilates the anterior and/or lateral front teeth. The lack of a therapeutic approach or the classical therapeutic approach (drainage or extraction) is no longer an acceptable option today. Maintaining the health of primary dentition is a necessary condition of the child’s well-being ensuring adequate chewing, aesthetics, phonetics, and early prevention of dental-maxillary disharmonies and vicious habits.
Aesthetic restoration of severely affected temporary frontals is a challenge for pediatric dentistry from two points of view: the precariousness of specific techniques and therapeutic protocols but also the pre-operative young age of the target group – being difficult to manage.
The two cases above are taken from the clinical case reports and treated through pediatric methods, optimized with distinctive modern techniques: Aesthetic Rehabilitation / Endodontics (RDE), Biomaterials, Minimally-Invasive Dentistry. Endodontic treatment followed immediately or in the second session of crown-and-root reconstitution of composite pivots reinforced with fiberglass and composites/cement, adhesives 3M Espe and Frasaco conforming layers, presented in the pictures, shows the reliability of this method and draws attention to the technical reconsideration treatment of anterior frontal temporary teeth.
