The aim of the present systematic review and meta‐analysis was to evaluate the prevalence of dental caries among preschool children who had been born preterm and/or with low birth weight (LBW) compared with those who had been born full term and/or with normal birth weight (NBW). Eight electronic databases were searched from interception up to November 2018 with no restrictions imposed regarding the date of publication or language. Two independent reviewers screened studies, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias. A random‐effects meta‐analysis was run to pool the crude prevalence of dental caries according to gestational age and birth weight. We performed a narrative synthesis and assessed the certainty of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE). Fifty‐nine observational studies were included (55 in the meta‐analysis). The prevalence of dental caries was 39% among preterm children, 30% among full‐term children, 40% among LBW children, and 33% among NBW children (I2:97%‐99%). The majority of studies reported that dental caries was not associated with gestational age or birth weight, with very low certainty of evidence. Preschool children born preterm or with LBW have similar dental caries experience as those born full term or with NBW, with very low certainty of evidence (PROSPERO #CDR42018118086).

“…Paediatric dentists possess breadth of knowledge across various dental disciplines adapted to the unique requirements of children and adolescents. In childhood, dental caries is the most common chronic childhood disease (Chen, Gao, Duangthip, Lo, & Chu, ; Duangthip, Gao, Lo, & Chu, ; Dye, Hsu, & Afful, ); however, the literature suggests oral mucosal lesions are not uncommon (Colaci & Sfasciotti, ; Furlanetto, Crighton, & Topping, ; Rioboo‐Crespo Mdel, Planells‐del Pozo, & Rioboo‐Garcia, ). Fortunately, most lesions are benign or transient, with either an infectious or traumatic aetiology.…”

World Workshop on Oral Medicine VII: Relative frequency of oral mucosal lesions in children, a scoping review

Objective To detail a scoping review on the global and regional relative frequencies of oral mucosal disorders in the children based on both clinical studies and those reported from biopsy records. Materials and Methods A literature search was completed from 1 January 1990 to 31 December 2018 using PubMed and EMBASE. Results Twenty clinical studies (sample size: 85,976) and 34 studies from biopsy services (40,522 biopsies) were included. Clinically, the most frequent conditions were aphthous ulcerations (1.82%), trauma‐associated lesions (1.33%) and herpes simplex virus (HSV)‐associated lesions (1.33%). Overall, the most commonly biopsied lesions were mucoceles (17.12%), fibrous lesions (9.06%) and pyogenic granuloma (4.87%). By WHO geographic region, the pooled relative frequencies of the most common oral lesions were similar between regions in both clinical and biopsy studies. Across regions, geographic tongue (migratory glossitis), HSV lesions, fissured tongue and trauma‐associated ulcers were the most commonly reported paediatric oral mucosal lesions in clinical studies, while mucoceles, fibrous lesions and pyogenic granuloma were the most commonly biopsied lesions. Conclusions The scoping review suggests data from the clinical studies and biopsy records shared similarities in the most commonly observed mucosal lesions in children across regions. In addition, the majority of lesions were benign in nature.

“…Caries is one of the most common chronic diseases in the oral field, with a great impact on a patient's health [39]. Clinical examination is the main method for caries detection, with radiographic examination being a complementary diagnostic tool [40].…”

Neural networks are increasingly being used in the field of dentistry. The aim of this literature review was to visualize the state of the art of artificial intelligence in dental applications, such as the detection of teeth, caries, filled teeth, crown, prosthesis, dental implants and endodontic treatment. A search was conducted in PubMed, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Xplore and arXiv.org. Data extraction was performed independently by two reviewers. Eighteen studies were included. The variable teeth was the most analyzed (n = 9), followed by caries (n = 7). No studies detecting dental implants and filled teeth were found. Only two studies investigated endodontic applications. Panoramic radiographies were the most common image employed (n = 5), followed by periapical images (n = 3). Near-infrared light transillumination images were employed in two studies and bitewing and computed tomography (CT) were employed in one study. The included articles used a wide variety of neuronal networks to detect the described variables. In addition, the database used also had a great heterogeneity in the number of images. A standardized methodology should be used in order to increase the compatibility and robustness between studies because of the heterogeneity in the image database, type, neural architecture and results.
