Abstract:
Traumatic tooth loss is a common incident in active children. The mean prevalence of congenitally missing teeth was reported to be 6.53% ± 3.33%; and therefore, they make up the vastness of the developmental anomaly of the human dentition. While researchers are extensively addressing every aspect related to implants in adults, a paucity of equivalent articles are tackling dental implants in growing children and adolescents. It is widely accepted that dental implants should not be installed in growing children. The presentation will elaborate on how far this notion holds true today together with the clinical encounters anticipated. Knowledge about the behavior of dental implants in growing jaws coupled with the correct patient selection and clinical guidelines are paving the way to more predictable functional and esthetic outcomes. The purpose of this article is to draw a roadmap to decision making addressing the do’s and don’ts when considering dental implants in growing children. Conclusion: Implant rehabilitation is possible in young jaws. Growth assessment together with multidisciplinary management is crucial to avoid functional and esthetic failures. Recommendations: Aside from the points highlighted in the presentation, it is recommended that Implant practitioners become oriented with growth assessment methods; a skill that is frequently overlooked.

Session Introduction
Ayesha Javed
Private Practice, Bahrain
Title: Restoration of a peg lateral: A novel technique (Vacuum-formed splint delivery systems)
Biography:
Ayesha Javed is working as a private practioner in Bahrain.
Abstract:
This clinical case report describes the restoration of peg lateral incisors by conservative approach using direct composite
bonding technique. Introduction: A peg lateral is a developmental anomaly of the maxillary lateral incisors that cause a tooth to resemble a small peg. Incidence of peg and undersized lateral is 4%-5% in population. It is a heredity condition and has been linked genetically with tooth agencies. A peg-shaped incisor has a marked reduction in diameter, extending from the cervical region to the incisal edge. The Different conservative treatment options include indirect and direct composite resin material. They can be carried out for peg-shaped laterals depending on the circumstances and the smile designs. A direct composite bonding is an ideal treatment as it is conservative and can be placed directly onto the tooth. Shape of tooth can be changed and additions can be made to the length and width.
Case report: Through this oral case report, I will be presenting an alternative direct treatment option for esthetically correcting the peg laterals using the concept of a vacuum formed thermoplastic splint that has been fabricated utilizing a stone model copy of the definitive wax-up. Composite is then placed in the splint and placed over the teeth. Two patients aged 23 and 25 years old concerned about both sided peg shaped lateral incisors that were restored with direct resin composite laminate
veneers using vacuum formed splint.
Conclusion: This conservative technique produced highly esthetic outcome with durability and stability and gave these
patients new confident smile.
Dóra Zsófia Nagy
Semmelweis University, Hungary
Title: Caries Risk Assessment in Children between 6-18 in Budapest, Hungary
Biography:
Dora Zsofia Nagy graduated from Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary in 2014. Since then she has been working at the Department of Paediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics at Semmelweis University. She is a specialist in paediatric dentistry and currently enrolled in the orthodontic residency programme. Besides the daily clinical practice, she has been involved in scientific research projects at the department and in the training of undergraduate students in the Hungarian, English and German speaking dentistry programmes.
Abstract:
Materials and Methods: Dental caries has been a major public health problem for many years in Hungary and still continues
to be, affecting in many ways normal growth and development as well as social adaptation of children. A research on caries
risk assessment was conducted at the Department of Paediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics at Semmelweis University with
116 children aged 6-18 (mean age: 10, 4). Based on the clinical dental status evaluation the prevalence of dental caries, DMFT,
def-t, DF/df-T/t score, and Significant Caries Index (SiC) were calculated. For caries risk assessment the questionnaire of
the American Dental Association was filled in by the patients' caretaker. Statistical data analysis was performed by using the
programme Statistica.
Results: 83% of the children enrolled in the programme were regarded as 'high risk' patient, 15% as 'moderate risk' and only
2% as 'low risk' patient. The mean DMFT score of all study participants was 1,84 and the def-t score was 2,39. 20% of the
patients were caries free. The overall SiC Index was 8,82. The data obtained revealed a significant correlation between caries
and frequent sugar consummation, visible plaque accumulation, lack of dental home and high caries prevalence in the family.
Discussion: The caries prevalence in children in Budapest declines but still exceeds the WHO recommendations. Therefore,
the authors emphasise the importance of caries risk assessment as a prerequisite for appropriate preventive and treatment
intervention decisions.

Title: Assessment of first aid knowledge about tooth avulsion in paediatricians of Karnal city, Haryana (India)
Biography:
Isha is a student of Masters of Dental Surgery in the speciality of paedodontics and preventive dentistry in Pt. B.D. Sharma University of Health Sciences, Rohtak, Haryana, India
Abstract:
Seventy pediatricians practicing in various Government and private hospitals in Karnal city Haryana, India, were assessed
for their first aid knowledge about incisor tooth avulsion in children. The responses of 70 pediatricians on a hypothetical clinical condition about tooth avulsion and its re-plantation in a 10 years old boy, were collected through a questionnaire having seven conceptual questions. The collected data were analyzed as a whole and in four different groups of pediatricians based on experience as G1, < 10 years, G2, 10 to 20 years, G3, 21 to 30 years and G4, > 30 years of experiences. The percentage of pediatricians having different options for all seven questions were calculated and in addition to that knowledge-score of each pediatrician was calculated by assigning one and zero to right and wrong options for each question. The satisfactory knowledge about three questions viz. type of incisor tooth in a ten-year-old boy as permanent answered rightly by 71.43% pediatricians with knowledge score (0.70±0.19), critical extra-alveolar time of the avulsed tooth should be within 15 minutes accurately answered by 67.14 % pediatricians with knowledge score (0.65±0.15), and the avulsed primary tooth need not to be re-planted answered appropriately by 60% pediatricians with knowledge score (0.60±0.16), were observed from this study. Average knowledge about three questions viz. the ideal time for replanting the avulsed permanent tooth for the best possible prognosis is within 10 to 15 minutes accurately responded by 34.29% of pediatricians with knowledge score 0.33±0.06, Immediate management of permanent avulsed tooth by putting the avulsed tooth in its original socket and then refer to dentist rightly answered by 28.57% of pediatrician with knowledge score 0.28±0.043, about the optimum storage medium for avulsed permanent teeth to be re-planted after a longer period as (HBSS) answered correctly by 21.42 % of pediatrician with knowledge score 0.22±.094, were observed. Very poor knowledge about the proper handling of avulsed permanent tooth and its immediate gentle cleaning with the easily available tap water was answered correctly by 8.57 percent of pediatricians with knowledge score 0.06±0.078 was observed. Average mean knowledge score from all 70 pediatricians for all questions was observed as 0.40±0.24 which does not vary significantly from the mean knowledge score of different groups (p≥0.05). The present study did not demonstrate a strong
association between their first aid knowledge about tooth avulsion and length of experience.

Title: High performance polymers and their application as dental implants abutment
Biography:
Ehsan Iranmanesh is serving as a private practioner in Iran. He has several publications on dentistry.
Abstract:
Since the concept of Osseo integration was introduced by Brånemark et al, modern dental implants have been considered a safe and reliable option for replacing missing teeth. By placing dental implants abutment directly in in bone, considering different problems regarding its rejection, if every step is done by standard method the implant will be osseointegrated into the alveolar bone. Osseointegration depends on a multiple of factors such as implant material, surgical technique etc. The implant material mostly include titanium and its alloys (mostly Titanium alloys Ti6Al4V) zirconia or even fiber reinforced composite (FRC) which can be a potential material in near future. For past few decades titanium and its alloys have been the material of choice for dental implant’s abutment. However, titanium has been shown to exhibit a variety of problems. Because of the high modulus of elasticity of the titanium alloys, dental implants made from the material can cause stress shielding which may lead to periodontal bone loss. Moreover few cases has been reported with induction of hypersensitivity to the titanium used as implant’s abutment also other problems such as Wear debris and ion leakage can also be of concern with titanium dental implants. There is various factor concerning the success or failure of a dental implant by the manner in which stresses are transferred to the surrounding bone. Load transfer from implants to surrounding bone depends on the type of loading, the bone–implant interface, the quantity and quality of the surrounding bone and etc. Finite element analysis (FEA) allows researchers to predict stress distribution in the contact area of the implants with cortical bone and around the implants in trabecular bone. The high-performance biomaterial PEEK (polyether ether ketone) has been applied as implant material in many fields of medicine since the 1990ies.Due to its excellent properties, a high stability and elasticity (elastic modulus: 3-4 GPa), low density (1,32 g/cm3) and insolubility its application have been boosted in the field of dentistry as for the manufacturing of prosthetic reconstructions. Its elastic modulus, similarly to that of cortical bone, it plays an important role as viable alternative to conventional implant materials such as titanium. This reduces the risk of stress shielding around the implant and makes it suitable for use even in orthopedic procedures and spinal surgery. The stable chemical structure of PEEK makes it extremely unreactive and inherently resistant to chemical and thermal degradation. The inertness of the polymer also
explains its biocompatibility, which has been shown both in vitro and in vivo. In this review article we inspect the probable advantages of using the PEEK as a stress shielding material in dental implant’s abutment.
