“…Teledentistry has been reported to be a valuable tool in pediatric dentistry for consultation, patient triaging, treatment planning, and follow-up purposes. 33 – 35 In this study, most participants (96.4%) agreed that teledentistry should be applied in pediatric dentistry. When asked which procedures teledentistry can be used for in pediatric dentistry, participants reported that it could be chiefly used in prescribing medication, follow-up consultation, and soft tissue problems.…”

Objective This study aimed to investigate postgraduate pediatric dental students’ knowledge, practice, and attitudes toward teledentistry and identify potential applications of this technology in pediatric dentistry. Methods An online questionnaire was sent to all students through Google Forms. The questionnaire included questions about socio-demographic information, knowledge, practice, and attitudes regarding teledentistry and the use of teledentistry during coronavirus disease 2019. Results Before the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, only 8.2% of students knew teledentistry. However, this increased to 45% after the pandemic, with differences depending on the student's clinical experience. Teledentistry was reported as useful for medicine taking, follow-up consultations, and diagnosing soft tissue problems. Conclusions Integrating teledentistry topics into the dental curriculum can increase awareness and adoption of this technology in pediatric dentistry. Dental students need to be aware of its potential applications.

“…It should be noted that the loss of permanent upper lateral incisors (in an advanced state of compromise already at the time of our first observation) in the older brother occurred during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The delayed prosthetic rehabilitation had an important psychological impact on the child, although, in that period, many remote-control strategies were implemented not to make pediatric patients feel neglected [ 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. The dentist has a fundamental role in the early diagnosis of this disorder and in guiding patients in the choice of measures to prolong the retention of the affected teeth [ 33 , 42 , 43 , 44 ].…”

Background and Objectives: Type I dentin dysplasia (DD-I) is a rare genetic disorder with autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance at risk of late or long-misunderstood diagnosis because the teeth, compared to other degenerative dentin diseases, do not have coronal defects and/or alterations but only at the root level (absent, conical, pointed roots, and obliterated pulp canals). The first radiographic suspicion often occurs only in case of sudden mobility and/or abscesses of the permanent teeth. Genetic tests confirm the diagnosis. Case Presentation: This case report describes the oral and radiographic characteristics of two siblings, 12 and 10 years old, a male and a female, at an early age affected by DD-I, whose diagnosis was made for a first orthodontic visit. The father and the older child had already undergone dental and orthodontic treatments, respectively, without the disease being suspected by the dentist. Results: Genetic tests support the diagnosis of DD-I. Following the diagnosis, the patients began a process of close periodic checks every 3–4 months to monitor their situation. The male child lost upper lateral incisors, which were then replaced with a light nylon removable prosthesis. Conclusions: The ability to recognize the radiographic features characteristic of DD-I is very important to avoid prejudicial diagnostic delays and to be able to plan the long-term treatment of these patients better, especially when the pathology was primarily misrecognized in the family.
