This document discusses various methods for diagnosing and treating dental caries lesions in children. It covers diagnostic tools including visual, tactile, radiographic and laser methods. It emphasizes the importance of developing a treatment plan tailored to each child's needs and cooperation level. The treatment planning process involves assessing risk factors, communicating with parents, performing preventive procedures initially, and gradually introducing more complex restorations over multiple appointments to reduce anxiety. Isolation techniques like saliva ejectors, cotton rolls and rubber dams are also described.

www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
17. Talking to parents
• Never guarantee that we will finish in a certain number of
appointments
• Never guarantee what treatment we will do next
• Don't give encounter forms to parents
• Relay parental concerns to the faculty
www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
18. – Discuss with the parent WHY the patient needs the
care we are proposing
– Discuss with the parent after each appointment what
was accomplished and patient cooperation (be as
positive as possible)

PLANNING
Overall assessment of the general attitude of the
child and parents to dental care
“ Delaying the final treatment planning until the
acute problems have resolved is very
worthwhile”
www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
30. Order of treatment:
general guidance
First visit
Take radiographs.
Introduce the child to operative treatment-'polish' a few
teeth or full prophylaxis.

young
• Consider diet history and extended oral hygiene
instructions with parent
• Consider fluoride supplementation, either systemic
or topical
www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
35. Pain
• Always treat the area that is painful to the patient,
regardless of treatment plan order
• Never let a patient leave in pain!
www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
36. Two factors significantly reduce the survival
rate of restorations
……….walls et al 1985
Lack of local analgesia
Age of the patient
Topical analgesia before giving an injection
Careful measured technique with full explanation to
the child through out the local anesthesia procedure
flavoured topical gel
fine gauge needle
warmed analgesia solution
slow administration of the solution
constant reinforcementwww.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
38. QUADRANT DENTISTRY
Reduces the number of times local analgesia is used
Makes maximum use of time available
Economically beneficial to parents as well as the dentists

45. RUBBER DAM ISOLATION
S.C.BarnumS.C.Barnum in 1864 introduced rubber dam into
dentistry
ADVANTAGES:
Dry clean operating field
Improved access and visibility
Improved properties of dental materials
Protection of the patient and operatorwww.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
46. Improves access and visualization
operator efficiency and increased productivity
Superior moisture control
Prevents aspiration or swallowing of foreign bodies
Protects soft tissues
Aids behavior management
Child becomes nasal breather
Helps dentist educate parents
www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
48. Certain oral conditions that preclude
the use of rubber dam
Erupting teeth with insufficient support for retainer
Third molars
Extremely malpositioned teeth
Asthmatic patients
Psychological reasons
Latex allergy
www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
50. ClampsClamps
Bland clamps – jaws are flat and point directly
towards each other
Designed to grasp the tooth at or above
the gingival margin
Retentive clamps - -jaws are directed gingivally
so that they can grasp tooth below gingival
margin

Side shiny , dullwww.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
69. Why Ligate the Clamp?
All retainers applied before the rubber dam is in place
must be ligated. A 12” piece of floss should be
attached to the retainer and threaded though both
holes to catch all of the pieces should the retainer
break.
Prevents the patient accidentally swallowing the
clamp.
Prevents injury to the dental team from flying debris
caused by an improper seat of the clamp.

70. Clamp secured with floss
www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
71. TECHNIQUE 1 – Clamp placement
prior to rubber dam
ADVANTAGESADVANTAGES
Tooth and gingival margins are clearly visible.
This will enable to place the clamp precisely with minimal
risk of gingival trauma.
INDICATIONSINDICATIONS
Posterior teeth in children and adults except 3rd
molars
www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
72. Clamp usedClamp used – winged type ; wingless with specially
shaped jaws
Wingless for multiple tooth isolation
Punching holesPunching holes – 2/3 overlapping
www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
73. Clamp is placed on the tooth
to be isolated
Clamp is placed on the forceps,
expanded and the forceps is
locked
www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
74. Clamp forceps are removed
leaving behind clamp on the
tooth
The rubber dam sheet is carried
into the mouth with both index
finger being used to stretch and
place over the clamp
www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
78. TECHNIQUE 2 - Clamp and rubber dam placed
together
INDICATIONS:INDICATIONS:
Posterior most teeth, 3rd
molars
Conditions in which other techniques are impractical
DISADVANTAGE:DISADVANTAGE:
Limited vision

winged clamp www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
79. Extra oral placement of clamp (winged) helpful
when isolating small number of teeth
www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
80. TECHNIQUE 3 - Clamp placed after
the rubber dam
It should be carried out with assistance
Restricted to anterior teeth and possibly pre-molar
because of limited access
When large sized clamps are used
www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
81. MULTIPLE TOOTH ISOLATION
Clamps should not be placed on a tooth which requires which
requires restoration
If the is narrow mesio-distally then the second tooth to the distal
is preferable
When several teeth require treatment the operating field is
extended mesially or across the arch to provide clear access
and maximum retention
Distal tooth will usually be clamped and the mesial is not
clamped

88. Removal of Rubber Dam
Thoroughly cleanse area.
Cut/remove interproximal ligatures.
Stretch rubber dam facially and cut each
interproximal septum with scissors.
Remove clamp with clamp forceps.
Remove dam and examine it for any missing
pieces.
Examine site for remaining rubber; remove with
floss or explorer.
Rinse oral cavity, wipe off patient’s lips.

101. Class I cavity preparation
CLASS I – Pit and fissure cavities in the
occlusal surface in posterior and lingual surface in
anterior teeth
www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
102. Instrumentation
Utilize a # 330 bur
Tip -
• measure width and
length of cutting shank
High speed
Minimal use of hand
instruments
www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
108. Internal Form of a Class I Prep
1) Depth 0.5 into dentin
2) Angle of floor and walls is
rounded
3) Slightly rounded pulpal floor
Avoids pulp
4) sharp cavo-
surface angle

110. Method for glass ionomer restorations
1. Local anesthesia may not always be necessary; however,
rubber dam isolation should be used where possible
2. The outline of the cavity should follow the extent of the
carious lesion. There should be no extension for prevention.
An additional retention form for minimal proximal cavities
can be achieved by placing grooves into the dentine using very
small (size 1 –2 )round burs
3.Remove all soft caries using a slow round burr or hand
instruments. Be aware of the large pulp chamber as it is easy to
expose the pulp of a primary molar.
4.Pre-condition the dentine using 10%polyacrylic acid for 10
seconds, wash and dry.
www.indiandentalacademy.comwww.indiandentalacademy.com
111. 5.When using encapsulated materials, ensure that the capsules
are compressed for atleast 3 seconds to facilitate adequate
mixing of the powder and liquid components.
Mix for 10 seconds in the amalgamator, discard the rest
3 –4 mm of the mixed materials as this is often unsatisfactory.
Place the remainder directly into the cavity.
6.Once the relatively thick material has been placed into the
cavity it is compressed with a ball burnisher – the use of a
small amount of bonding agent prevents sticking to the
instrument.

116. Incipient Class I Cavity in a Very Young
Child
child under 2 years of age
small cavity preparation made without the aid of
the rubber dam or local anesthetic
objective -to restore the tooth with amalgam to
arrest decay and to prevent further tooth
destruction without a lengthily or involved dental
appointment
