Enamel hypomineralisations continue to captivate the attention of the (paediatric) dental research community. They often manifest in various forms, and one specific condition is molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH), which primarily affects the …
Dental caries is “a biofilm-mediated, diet modulated, multifactorial, non-communicable, dynamic disease resulting in net mineral loss of dental hard tissue”. The caries lesion develops as a consequence of biological, behavioural, psychosocial and …

The contact areas between primary molars and the variations create complex micro-environments. These variations or complexities in between the proximal surfaces might potentially play a critical role in proximal caries etiology. Recently, the …
Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with tissue damage (Nugraha et al. 2019 ). Dental pain, in particular, is defined as orofacial pain originating from a tooth and/or adjacent structures (Benoliel et al. 2019 ). It is …

On the occlusal aspect of the teeth, pits along with fissures are the deep grooves which act as the site for accumulation of food debris. These are difficult to cleanse which lead to stagnation of microorganisms in these regions (Babaji et al. 2016 …). Because of their anatomy, fissures are the commonest sites for plaque retention and maturation which makes them susceptible to caries (Giller et al.
Children’s tooth decay represents a worldwide health problem. In 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 514 million children suffered from untreated cavities in the world (WHO 2022 ). Early childhood caries (ECC) is a widespread …

Climate change is real and human activities are the main cause (Lynas et al. 2021 ). The concentration of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere is directly linked to the average global temperature on Earth. Since the time of the Industrial …
The importance given to aesthetic appearance in the field of dentistry and the desire to have a more beautiful smile are not limited to adults; increasingly, they are becoming important to children. Consequently, restoration of primary teeth in …
Since the 1950s, preformed paediatric crowns (PPCs) have been widely used as one approach to treat paediatric dental caries (Innes et al. 2015 ). PPCs allow retention of masticatory function and preserve the dental arch until permanent successors …
Dental caries is a chronic, multifactorial disease caused by the interaction of multiple factors such as micro-organisms, saliva, diet, tooth morphology, and genetic predisposition (Prabakar et al. 2020 ). Even though awareness among people …
