Dental anxiety in paediatric dentistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Abstract Aims: Fear of the dentist can lead the patient to refuse dental treatment and being referred to a hospital for specialized care. Two medicinal tools are often offered: conscious sedation by inhalation of a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen or general anesthesia. The objective of this study is to determine the differences between patients treated with sedation compared to those treated with general anesthesia in pediatric dental care. ...
Cone-beam computed tomography in paediatric dentistry : aspects of justification and optimisation Ghent University
Cone-beam computed tomography in pediatric dentistry, a retrospective observational study Ghent University
Implant dentistry education in Europe: 5 years after the Association for Dental Education in Europe consensus report Ghent University
The rationale for the introduction of implant dentistry into the dental curriculum Ghent University
This paper provides arguments for the introduction of implant dentistry into the undergraduate curriculum. The survival of teeth is very high when disease is diagnosed and treated properly and maintenance is taken care of. Nevertheless, tooth replacements by fixed and removable prostheses are highly prevalent. It is expected that dentists will face a dramatically increased need to care for elderly patients and partially edentulous patients. ...
Teaching and assessment of implant dentistry in undergraduate and postgraduate education: a European consensus Ghent University
This paper constitutes a summary of the consensus documents agreed at the First European Workshop on Implant Dentistry University Education held in Prague on 19-22 June 2008. Implant dentistry is becoming increasingly important treatment alternative for the restoration of missing teeth, as patients expectations and demands increase. Furthermore, implant related complications such as peri-implantitis are presenting more frequently in the dental ...
Guidance on posterior resin composites: Academy of Operative Dentistry - European Section KU Leuven
There have been many developments in operative dentistry in recent years, including a progressive shift to the use of resin composites, rather than dental amalgam, in the restoration of posterior teeth. This shift allows the adoption of minimal intervention approaches, thereby helping to conserve and preserve remaining tooth tissues and structures. This paper presents the position of the Academy of Operative Dentistry European Section (AODES) in ...
Criteria for the Replacement of Restorations: Academy of Operative Dentistry European Section KU Leuven
The replacement of a restoration is one of the most common procedures in dentistry. However, the criteria for such intervention, excluding catastrophic failure and persistent discomfort and pain, continue to be the subject of considerable debate. The decision-making process remains subjective on the part of the treating clinician, while the evidence base for refurbishment and repair rather than replacement for the management of defective and ...
The use of laser Doppler flowmetry in paediatric dentistry Ghent University
BACKGROUND: An early determination of pulpal vitality is crucial with respect to a correct differential diagnosis of revascularisation or necrosis and its treatment. REVIEW: Sensibility tests (cold, heat, electrical pulp test) in combination with radiographs are commonly promoted. However these tests are arbitrary, based on sensations and therefore not always reliable. In such situations registration of pulpal blood flow will be advantageous. ...
