Kinderzahnheilkunde in der Praxis

Pediatric dentistry has developed into an established and innovative field since the first edition of this book nearly 20 years ago, offering many exciting new approaches. Notably, there has been a shift in the understanding of caries, which allows for effective methods of caries inactivation or the restoration of teeth without drilling. Additionally, a variety of methods for behavior management in children and the use of nitrous oxide sedation are now available, making treatment easier. The new edition of the book follows a modern, evidence-based, participatory approach focused on prevention, diagnostics, and early treatment in pediatric dentistry. This is contextualized within the framework of underlying conditions, dysgnathia, and function, as well as the care situation, including the recognition of developmental disorders and child abuse. Practical examples, illustrations, case studies, flowcharts, billing tips, and checklists facilitate implementation in everyday practice. Many topics and techniques are illustrated with additional video sequences that can be accessed via QR codes. The textbook is aimed at dentists, prophylaxis teams, and students, and seeks to support the dental care of children and adolescents with its comprehensive overview.
