“…Additionally, pulpotomies and pulpectomies are more time-consuming and involve procedures that may not be as well tolerated by children with behavioral problems [44,45]. With the increasing prevalence of dental anxiety and behavioral problems noted among children in recent years, some clinical providers may be avoiding pulp exposure more often when a less invasive approach could provide a potential alternative [46,47].…”

Recent evidence suggests that an ever-growing number of pediatric patients require invasive treatments such as root canal therapy (RCT) in their permanent dentition, albeit with little information about risk factors such as prior invasive treatments of pulpotomy or pulpectomy in their primary dentition. Therefore, the primary objectives of this study were to determine the number of pediatric patients who have had any type of invasive treatment in their primary teeth, to assess their association with any subsequent invasive treatment (root canal therapy, extractions) in their permanent dentition, and to assess these trends over time. This retrospective study utilized summary data from a clinical pediatric patient pool (ages 0–17) over the period of 2013–2022. This analysis revealed that pediatric patients requiring pulpotomies and pulpectomies in primary dentition declined between 2013 (n = 417, n = 156) and 2022 (n = 250, n = 12), while root canal therapy (RCT) in permanent dentition increased six-fold from n = 54 to n = 330. In addition, few (7.8%) patients with RCT had a previous history of pulpotomy or pulpectomy, which suggests that invasive treatments performed in primary dentition have no direct association with the subsequent need for invasive treatments in permanent dentition, although more research is needed to determine the explanations for these observations.

“…13 It is also a useful alternative form of expression for children who have difficulty expressing their thoughts verbally. 14 Several investigations have used drawing as a research tool with children to identify their perceptions of issues such as: (a) child stigmatization of those who have been affected by the HIV virus 15 ; (b) children's perception of tick-associated diseases 8,16,17 ; (c) triatomines and Chagas disease 18,19 ; and (d) more recently, issues such as SARS-CoV-2. 20 Considering the above, the present work has two purposes: (a) to report the main results regarding the perceptions that children have about ticks and their possible health risks, based on an educational intervention.…”

“… 10 This is why in recent years there has been increased interest in the use of children’s drawings, as they facilitate communication skills, particularly regarding events or concepts that would otherwise be difficult to describe. 11 - 14 As a technique for exploring ideas, drawing taps holistic understanding and prevents children from feeling constrained by trying to match their knowledge with that of the researcher. 13 It is also a useful alternative form of expression for children who have difficulty expressing their thoughts verbally.…”

Background: It is important to work on designs of health promotion strategies that involve educational interventions about the risk factors associated to TB-rickettsiosis (Tick-Borne rickettsiosis). Children’s drawings provide a window into their thoughts and feelings. The aim was to analyze children’s risk perceptions regarding by the presence of ticks in a rural community in southeast Mexico. Methods: The main framework used was a social cognitive perspective under the Health Belief Model. Study was carried out in rural elementary schools and included a drawing contest. A total of 224 children (8-12 years old) participated. Drawings were coded and classified; descriptive trend analysis was performed using counts and percentages. The qualitative data was analyzed by researcher experts in TB- rickettsiosis and using Atlas ti V.8. Results: Results are presented in seven categories that consider environmental elements, actors, and cognitive aspects. The environmental context, 99.1% of the drawings represent sites outside the home (92% include vegetation with the presence of ticks in their immediate external environment). In the actors’ category, 69.6% included people carrying out activities (prevention and risk). As for the cognitive aspects, 70% included domestic pets and 13.4% farmyards animals. Conclusion: The children expressed their ideas about risk factors and preventive measures against TB-rickettsiosis with a self-care approach. They acquired knowledge about preventive strategies and clinical symptoms. It is necessary to evaluate what happens after an intervention and how they implement in their lives what they have learned.
