Cover: Clinical Cases in Pediatric Dentistry, SECOND EDITION by Amr M. Moursi and Amy L. Truesdale

Clinical Cases Series

Wiley‐Blackwell’s Clinical Cases series is designed to recognize the centrality of clinical cases to the dental profession by providing actual cases with an academic backbone. This unique approach supports the new trend in case‐based and problem‐based learning. Highly illustrated in full color, the Clinical Cases series utilizes a format that fosters independent learning and prepares the reader for case‐based examinations.

To our students, past, present, and future, and to our patients who teach us so much.

PREFACE

Welcome to the second edition of Clinical Cases in Pediatric Dentistry. The editors, chapter authors, and contributors have truly appreciated the enthusiastic response to our first edition.

The second edition maintains the original format enjoyed by so many readers. However, much has changed. All 66 cases have been comprehensively updated to include the latest diagnostic and treatment techniques. Also, the most current references to the literature, best practices, and evidence‐based clinical guidelines have been added. Additionally, there are new cases in each of the chapters; a total of thirteen entirely new cases. These new additions include cases addressing patients with special health care needs such as the systemic and oral health management of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, celiac disease, diabetes, and cleft lip and palate. Other additions address technologies and materials that have evolved, or become more established, since the first edition, such as silver diamine fluoride and zirconia esthetic crowns. Many of the new cases also illustrate a more conservative approach to caries management and pulp therapy. New, updated trauma treatment algorithms have also been added in the Orofacial Trauma chapter. For those using the book as a study guide, new and updated self‐assessment questions have been added to all the cases.

We are delighted to have most of our original contributors returning to update their work and add new cases. We also have a number of new contributors whose fresh takes on the cases have been a wonderful addition. Also, most of the chapters and many of the cases have been re‐sequenced in order to enhance readability and improve the flow of the content.

As noted in the first edition, the scope of pediatric dentistry continues to evolve to include all aspects of wellness that may influence oral and craniofacial health. Likewise, the education of pediatric dentistry has also evolved to include case‐based teaching to reinforce better this more holistic approach. Traditional textbooks are a wonderful resource but by necessity present information in artificially constrained topic groupings. Pediatric dentistry is a discipline where a whole host of issues need to be addressed simultaneously in order to properly make a diagnosis and manage a patient’s care. A case‐based approach to education allows one to apply foundational knowledge, obtained from reference texts and didactic courses, to develop strategies for providing patient‐centered care.

The clinical cases included in this book were conceived to provide case studies for a wide array of learning situations. Predoctoral students can use the cases as they are introduced to pediatric dentistry and as a study guide for case‐based curricula and exams. Postdoctoral students and residents can use these cases as they prepare for case‐based exams during their training and for board certification. This book will also be a useful tool for educators who will now have a ready collection of clinical cases, covering the essentials of pediatric dentistry, to discuss with their students.

Each case emphasizes a particular topic. Each topic contains one or more Fundamental Points, which are highlighted in designated blue boxes within the text. Fundamental Points address issues that are of importance to the diagnosis, treatment plan, and management of the case. Each case also has one or more areas of Background Information, designated in orange boxes. Issues addressed in Background Information may include a more in‐depth discussion of a particularly important element of the topic that may not necessarily be fully illustrated in the case history.

To use this book as a study guide, we recommend that the reader initially read only the information provided on patient presentation and history, then determine what additional diagnostic information is necessary and how it would be best obtained. After reading the diagnostic information provided, the reader should then compile a differential diagnosis and problem list. This can then be compared with those provided in the case. Following this, a treatment plan can be proposed which should then be compared with that listed in the text. Questions and answers are also listed for each case. These can be used to review the key elements of the topic or as a study guide for self‐evaluation in preparation for written or oral exams.

Although each clinical case in this book was designed to focus on a distinct oral health issue, we also intend for each case to stand alone. Therefore, the reader will encounter some repetition from case to case. The editors have tried to minimize this as much as possible but it will be evident particularly in the areas of history gathering and the discussion of best practices, clinical guidelines, and prevention recommendations.

We have selected contributors with an international perspective in order to make the content universally relevant. However, for consistency we have chosen to use US nomenclature and when referring to clinical guidelines we have, primarily, used the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), which can be freely accessed online at: aapd.org/media/policies.asp.

The chapter topics have been selected to represent the essentials of pediatric dentistry. However, as with all books, there are some limitations. The cases were not meant to comprise an exhaustive survey of pediatric oral disorders. Rather, it was our intention that they represent the ‘bread and butter’ of our discipline. It was also beyond the scope of this type of book to provide comprehensive citations, which can be found in other reference texts, but we have listed a few key references for each case.

We hope that students, educators, and clinicians will find this new edition a useful resource as we continue to advance and broaden the scope of pediatric oral health care.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The editors would like to thank all the chapter authors and case contributors for compiling such wonderful clinical cases for this second edition.

We would also like to thank those who contributed to the first edition. Their work laid the foundation on which this second edition was built. In particular, special thanks go to first edition Associate Editor, Dr. Marcio A. da Fonseca, for his tireless efforts in bringing the book to its original inception. To the right is a full list of first edition contributors. In addition, special thanks go to those who helped, in countless ways to create this book, from inception to completion: Ms. Alana Grambush, Ms. Yan Zhao, Ms. Cindy Hansen, Dr. Courtney Chinn, Dr. Amanda Alon, Ms. Sophia Joyce, Ms. Erica Judisch, and Ms. Purvi Patel.

On a personal note, I would like to thank my associate editor, Dr. Amy Truesdale, for her long hours and perseverance. Also, I am deeply indebted to Dr. Serena Kassam for contributing her expertise and editorial content. Thanks also go to all the faculty, students, and residents of the NYU Department of Pediatric Dentistry. My deepest gratitude goes to Mary and Cleo for their sacrifice, patience, and understanding, without which this book would not exist.

And finally, we are all indebted to the many children, and their parents, who agreed to appear in this book.
