Age-specific vulnerabilities in paediatric dental emergencies before, during, and after COVID-19 lockdown: a retrospective comparative analysis with emphasis on early childhood (0-3 years).

Purpose: To examine the unique vulnerability patterns of very young children (0-3 years) in dental emergencies before, during, and after the COVID-19 lockdown period, compared to older paediatric patients. The study aimed to identify age-specific risk factors and treatment needs that demonstrate increased susceptibility to severe dental emergencies during healthcare crises.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 6,024 emergency dental visits of children under 12 years was conducted, comparing three periods: pre-COVID (March-May 2019), during the first lockdown (March-May 2020), and post-lockdown (March-May 2021).

Treatment patterns and clinical interventions in pediatric dental emergencies during COVID-19.

Background: While COVID-19’s impact on dental services has been widely studied, limited research exists on how the pandemic altered clinical decision-making and treatment selection in pediatric dental emergencies. This study examined changes in treatment patterns and clinical interventions for pediatric dental emergencies during the COVID-19 lockdown, aiming to understand how crisis conditions influence clinical approaches and treatment outcomes.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 6,024 emergency dental visits of children under 12 years across three distinct periods: pre-COVID (March-May 2019), during first lockdown (March-May 2020), and post-lockdown (March-May 2021).

Dental Implant Survival Rates: Comprehensive Insights from a Large-Scale Electronic Dental Registry.

Background: This descriptive study aimed to assess the survival rates and outcomes of dental implants in one of the four national HMOs in Israel. Data are provided for the period from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2022.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective analysis utilized electronic medical records of patients who underwent dental implant placement during the specified period.

Volumetric Evaluation of Alveolar Ridge Preservation Using Dense PTFE (d-PTFE) Membranes Intentionally Exposed to the Oral Cavity After Immediate Implant Placement-A Retrospective Study.

Tooth loss causes alveolar bone resorption, which may hinder the ability of implant placement. Socket preservation with immediate implant placement is one of the methods used to reduce bone resorption. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the influence of the use of dense polytetrafluoroethylene (d-PTFE) membranes on alveolar preservation after tooth extraction and with the installation of immediate dental implants.
