This work evaluated the global impact of early childhood caries, particularly emphasizing underserved populations. Additionally, it assesses the current trends and evidence-based practices in pediatric preventive dentistry. The article presents recent clinical findings from a qualitative literature review covering the years 2015–2025, with data obtained from PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. To evaluate the findings, a comprehensive search and thematic grouping of findings has been conducted. The results demonstrated that fluoride varnishes and dental sealants are highly effective in reducing caries incidence. Furthermore, this article highlighted how new technologies, including silver diamine fluoride (SDF), AI-assisted detection, and Teledentistry, might help people get care more easily. Nonetheless, obstacles such as limited parental understanding and poor implementation of practices remain substantial challenges. The conclusion emphasises that combining evidence-based methods with better policy and family education is essential for better paediatric oral health outcomes.

The aim of this work was to assess the efficacy, affordability, and acceptability of various “non-invasive and minimally invasive techniques” that are used in treatment of carious lesion in children. Minimally invasive techniques represent a paradigm shift in pediatric dentistry, emphasizing patient-centered care and preserving healthy tooth structure. Considering continuing technological development these techniques will become even more crucial in providing safe, effective, and comfortable dental experiences for children allowing pediatric dentists to foster a positive and e stress-free environment for children, establishing the foundation for long-term dental health.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the etiology, sex distribution, types of traumatic dental injuries, and treatment methods in children referred to the Pediatric Dentistry Department. Understanding these parameters is essential for improving prevention strategies and treatment outcomes in pediatric dental trauma. METHODS: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical records of 822 children aged 0-14 years who visited the Pediatric Dentistry Department over a six-month period. Of these, 59 children (7.2%) presented with dental injuries. Traumatic injuries were categorized using the Andreasen and Andreasen classification system. Data were collected on the causes of trauma, the location and type of injuries, and the treatment approaches for both primary and permanent teeth. RESULTS: Crown fractures were the most commonly observed injuries, accounting for 76.2% of cases. Other injury types included avulsion (6.6%), subluxation (5.2%), concussion (5.2%), intrusive luxation (3.4%), root fractures (1.7%), and extrusive luxation (1.7%). Permanent teeth were more frequently affected (76.3%) than primary teeth. Falls were the leading cause of traumatic dental injuries, responsible for 77.9% of cases, with schools identified as the most common setting for such incidents (37.2%). Boys (59.3%) were more likely to experience dental trauma than girls (40.7%). Among the injured teeth, 16.9% of permanent teeth showed incomplete root formation. In terms of treatment, restorative procedures were the most frequently used (44.1%), followed by endodontic treatments and extractions, which together accounted for 25.4% of cases. CONCLUSION: Traumatic dental injuries are common among children, particularly those of school age. Falls are the leading cause, with most injuries affecting the enamel layer of the teeth. Timely and accurate diagnosis of dental trauma is essential to minimize complications and preserve long-term dental health. Implementing preventive strategies and educating children, parents, and educators about dental safety can significantly reduce the incidence and severity of these injuries.

AMAC: Bu calismanin amaci, pedodonti anabilim dali'na yonlendirilen cocuklarda travmatik dis yaralanmalarinin etiyolojisini, cinsiyet dagilimini, yaralanma turlerini ve tedavi yontemlerini incelemektir. Bu parametrelerin anlasilmasi, cocukluk donemindeki dis travmalarinin onlenmesi ve tedavi sonuclarinin iyilestirilmesi acisindan buyuk onem tasimaktadir. GEREC VE YONTEM: Calisma, 6 aylik bir donemde pedodonti anabilim dali'na basvuran, 0-14 yas arasi 822 cocugun klinik kayitlarinin retrospektif analizini icermektedir. Bu cocuklardan 59'u (%7.2) dis yaralanmasi sikayetiyle basvurmustur. Travmatik yaralanmalar, Andreasen ve Andreasen siniflandirma sistemine gore kategorize edilmistir. Calismada travmanin nedenleri, yaralanmanin lokalizasyonu ve turleri ile sut ve daimi dislerde uygulanan tedavi yontemleri degerlendirilmistir. BULGULAR: Travma turleri arasinda en sik karsilasilan, vakalarin %76,2'sini olusturan kron kiriklaridir. Diger yaralanma turleri arasinda avulsiyon (%6.6), subluksasyon (%5.2), konkuzyon (%5.2), intruziv luksasyon (%3,4), kok kiriklari (%1.7) ve ekstruziv luksasyon (%1.7) yer almistir. Daimi disler, sut dislerine gore daha fazla etkilenmistir (%76.3). Travmalarin en yaygin nedeni dusme (%77.9) olarak belirlenmis ve okul, yaralanmalarin en sik meydana geldigi yer olmustur (%37.2). Erkekler (%59.3), kizlara (%40.7) kiyasla daha sik dis travmasi yasamistir. Travma geciren daimi dislerin %16.9'unda kok gelisimi tamamlanmamistir. Tedavi acisindan bakildiginda, en sik uygulanan yontem restoratif islemler (%44.1) olurken, bunu endodontik tedaviler ve dis cekimleri (%25.4) takip etmistir. SONUC: Travmatik dis yaralanmalari, ozellikle okul cagindaki cocuklar arasinda oldukca yaygindir. Bu yaralanmalarin en onemli nedeni dusmeler olup, cogu vakada sadece dis minesini etkilemektedir. Dis travmalarinin zamaninda ve dogru sekilde teshis edilmesi, komplikasyonlarin onlenmesi ve uzun vadeli dis sagliginin korunmasi acisindan hayati oneme sahiptir. Ayrica, cocuklarin, ebeveynlerin ve egitimcilerin dis sagligi konusunda bilgilendirilmesi, bu tur yaralanmalarin sikligini ve siddetini onemli olcude azaltabilir. Anahtar sozcukler: Pediatrik hastalar; travmatik dis yaralanmalari; tedavi yontemleri.
