Manual of diagnosis and pulp treatment in non-vital primary teeth

Non-vital teeth are those whose nerves lack vitality and there is no blood flow inside. This may be due to deep caries or dental trauma that irreversibly affects the dental pulp.

A correct history, clinical and radiographic evaluation is necessary in these cases to determine the appropriate treatment for these cases (dental extraction, pulpectomy, lesion sterilization tissue repair).

We share a guide that helps us identify the signs and symptoms of a non-vital tooth, and evaluates the pulp treatment options in non-vital primary teeth.

Management of acute orofacial infection of odontogenic origin in children - Diagnosis, clinic and pharmacology

Infections of odontogenic origin are those that are generated and evolve from a tooth, either by a process of pulpal or periodontal infection. These infections spread to other tissues and put the patient's life at risk.

The abscess and cellulitis are the manifestations of the progressive phases of the infectious process. It is important to know their differences, and the clinical and pharmacological management.

Dental Article 🔽 Appropriate Antibiotic Use in Pediatric Odontogenic Infections: Guidelines for Dentists and Dental Students ... This article provides evidence-based, clinically practical guidance for dentists and dental students on the appropriate use of antibiotics in pediatric odontogenic infections.

These infections often arise from untreated dental caries, pulp necrosis, or periodontal involvement and may rapidly spread through facial spaces due to the unique anatomical and immunological characteristics of pediatric patients. Early diagnosis and timely intervention are essential to prevent systemic complications, airway compromise, and hospital admission.

The Hall Technique: Manual for the management of primary molar caries

Dental caries is an infectious process that affects both children and adults. When caries affects a large amount of dental tissue, a procedure is required to ensure the permanence of the primary tooth in the oral cavity.

The Hall technique is used on primary molars affected by caries, using preformed steel crowns. The effectiveness of this technique is proven, but a careful evaluation by the pediatric dentist is required.
