Kinderzahnmedizin

Early childhood caries is a main focus in this book because it remains one of the most common reasons for a child’s presentation to the dental practice and may be accompanied by extensive treatment needs. This includes age-appropriate patient management, consistent implementation of preventive measures in both professional and home settings, the most optimal choice of restorative measures, and the often necessary indication of sedating or anesthetic procedures. In addition to the topic of caries management, the book discusses structural disorders of the teeth. The clinical problem of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is also covered in this book in some detail. In addition, papers are presented on the relatively new material group of bioactive endodontic MTA cements, bruxism in children and adolescents, emergency therapy for odontogenic infections and abscesses, and the care of children and adolescents with disabilities and additional support needs.
