Antimicrobial therapies for odontogenic infections in children and adolescents

Oral infections are common in children and adolescents, and treatment must be treated in an effective and timely manner. Infectious processes occur when there is an imbalance in the patient's oral flora.

The use of antibiotics must be rational to avoid drug resistance of microorganisms (microbial resistance). Odontogenic infections can arise from caries or a periodontal problem, sometimes they can be due to dental trauma or iatrogenesis.

Update on antibiotic prophylaxis in pediatric patients

Antibiotic prophylaxis aims to prevent the presence of a new infection from a therapeutic procedure. This preventive action is more important if the patient is immunocompromised.

In pediatric dentistry or general dentistry, the general health status of the child must be known, as well as his or her history and the severity of the infection, in order to determine the correct administration of antibiotics.

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.

Hall Technique for Stainless Steel Crown in 3 easy steps

The Hall technique is an alternative to the treatment of extensive cavities that have affected a large amount of dental tissue in the primary teeth. This technique consists of placing a preformed metal crown without dental preparation.

Steel crowns are press-fitted on primary molars affected by extensive caries or when the enamel is defective. Thanks to the steel crowns, tooth loss and future occlusion problems are avoided.


We share a video that shows us how to place a steel crown on a primary molar using the Hall technique in 3 easy steps.
