This article highlights significant changes in the diagnosis, prevention and management of dental caries, traumatic dental injuries, developmental enamel defects, tooth erosion, dental fear and anxiety and safeguarding children. The dedication of clinicians and researchers along with advances in material science and technology have supported this progress. We discuss the importance of working with those both within and outside of the specialty in order to collaborate to improve children’s oral health. There have been significant strides in the provision of child-centred holistic care and research. Reviewing the advancements made over this period has set a high precedent for making further progress within paediatric dentistry over the next 50 years. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Knowledge of key advances in the field of paediatric dentistry will facilitate good diagnosis and treatment of younger patients.

Research paper thumbnail of COVID-2019 – Time to Use Silver Diamine Fluoride for Caries Arrest in General Dental Practice?

Dental update, Sep 2, 2020

It can be used as a non-aerosol generating procedure and is a simple technique. It has a side-effect of discolouring caries black, a factor which requires discussion with patients and their carers prior to application. Due to its efficacy and simplicity, it is a useful intervention for the management of caries. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Caries is a common condition in the UK, and silver diamine fluoride offers a simple alternative management technique when case selection is appropriate.

Research paper thumbnail of Co-production of an information video on silver diammine fluoride – with children, for children

However, implementation and uptake are likely to be improved by the availability of child focused information, which is key to ensuring that children understand information about their treatment choices. This study engaged children to co-produce an information video about SDF and explored other children’s opinions about the video. Methods A video was co-produced with children that explained caries management options with a focus on SDF. Children created the content and had substantial input into the editing process. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were carried out with 16 children, aged 4–8 years, based on a topic guide to explore their views on the video. Framework analysis was then performed. Results The video was viewed positively overall although participants did offer diverse views on some specific aspects. The data could be summarised through the following themes: video style and format, caries specific information and views on SDF. Conclusions Our study showed that children recognise the value and utility of an information video co-produced by their peers for provision of information about SDF as a caries management option.

A recent systematic review suggested the superiority of certain modes of powered over manual toothbrushing for plaque and gingivitis reduction. That review did not allow for direct comparison between different modes of powered toothbrush.ObjectivesTo compare different modes of powered toothbrushing against each other for plaque reduction and the health of the gingivae. Other factors to be assessed were calculus and stain removal, cost, dependability and adverse effects.Search methodsThe following databases were searched: Cochrane Oral Health Group's Trials Register (to 26 July 2010); Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library 2010, Issue 3); MEDLINE via OVID (1950 to 26 July 2010); EMBASE via OVID (1980 to 26 July 2010); CINAHL via EBSCO (1982 to 26 July 2010). There were no language restrictions.Selection criteriaTrials were considered for inclusion with the following criteria: random allocation of participants; no compromised manual dexterity; unsupervised powered toothbrushing for at least 4 weeks. The primary outcomes were the plaque and gingivitis scores after powered toothbrush use during trial period.Data collection and analysisData extraction was performed independently and in duplicate. The authors of trials were contacted to provide missing data where possible. The effect measure for each meta‐analysis was the standardised mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) using the random‐effects model. Potential sources of heterogeneity were assessed.Main resultsThe review included data from 17 trials with 1369 participants. There is evidence from seven trials of up to three months and at unclear/high risk of bias that rotation oscillation brushes reduce plaque (SMD 0.24; 95% CI 95% 0.02, 0.46) and gingivitis (SMD 0.35; 95% CI ‐0.04, 0.74) more than side to side brushes. Due to the dearth of trials, no other definitive conclusions can be stated regarding the superiority of one mode of powered toothbrush over any other. Only minor and transient side effects were reported. Cost, dependability were not reported.Authors' conclusionsThere is some evidence that rotation oscillation brushes reduce plaque and gingivitis more than side to side brushes in the short term. This difference is small and it's clinical importance is unclear. Further trials of good quality are required to assess the superiority of other modes of action for powered toothbrushes.

Plain Language Summary Different types of powered toothbrushes for plaque control and healthy gums Powered brushes were first introduced commercially in the 1960s. A previously published Cochrane systematic review suggested one type of powered brush was superior to manual toothbrushing for the removal of plaque and reduction of gum inflammation.That review did not allow direct comparison between the different types of powered toothbrushes. This review included data from 17 trials with 1369 participants. Brushes with a rotation oscillation action reduced plaque and gingivitis more than those with a side to side action in the short term. However, the difference was small and it's clinical importance unclear. Due to the low numbers of trials using other types of powered brushes, no other definitive conclusions can be drawn regarding the superiority of one type of powered toothbrush over another. Only minor and transient side effects were reported. Cost and reliability of the brushes were not reported in the trials. Further trials of good quality are required to establish if other types of powered brush are better at reducing plaque and gingivitis.
