Solving special clinical situations in young children is allways a problemin pedodontic dentistry. During our day-by-day work at the Department of Pedodontics and Orthodontics of the Semmelweis University Faculty for Dentistry the most critical problems are related to early childhood caries, dental traumatic injuries in both primary and permanent dentition, molar-incisor-hypomineralisation syndrome (MIH), severe cases of hypodontia related to ectodermal dysplasia (ED) and the management of disabled children. The aim of this presentation is to highlight the clinical solutions and preventions methods applied in our department in the above mentioned situations by presenting general treatment protocolls, dental treatment under general anaesthesia, non-invasive and minimal invasive treatment methods for children with special needs, deveopmental dental anomalies such as MIH syndrome, caries circularis, aesthetical and functional rehablitation of children who suffered traumatic injuries of the primary teeth and prosthetic treatment of young with hypohydrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED). The case presentations of HED patients focus on long term monitorizing and the benefits of early prosthetic treatment on the development of the maxillo-facial structures.
