Dental implants have emerged as a reliable and effective solution for the replacement of missing teeth in adult populations, but their application in pediatric dentistry is a more recent and complex development. Pediatric patients often present unique challenges due to ongoing craniofacial growth, mixed dentition stages, and behavioral considerations. These factors necessitate a tailored approach to the evaluation, planning, and placement of dental implants in children and adolescents.Long-term follow-up is crucial for pediatric implant cases to monitor growth-related changes, implant...

In the recent times, various technologies are developing consistently and support the principles that attempt to mimic the human brain functioning to develop solutions. Among many industrial revolutions, the fourth industrial revolution opened a new digital era in which one of the most important contributions is the ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. It is a crucial invention that imitates human cognitive capabilities. It has captured the attention of scientists all around the world. On a broader level, it enables the creation of intelligent machines that can achieve tasks without human intervention....

Zahnimplantate haben sich als zuverlässige und wirksame Lösung für den Ersatz fehlender Zähne bei Erwachsenen etabliert, aber ihre Anwendung in der Kinderzahnheilkunde ist eine neuere und komplexere Entwicklung. Pädiatrische Patienten stellen aufgrund des fortschreitenden kraniofazialen Wachstums, unterschiedlicher Gebissstadien und verhaltensbedingter Überlegungen oft besondere Herausforderungen dar. Diese Faktoren erfordern einen maßgeschneiderten Ansatz für die Bewertung, Planung und Insertion von Zahnimplantaten bei Kindern und Jugendlichen. Eine langfristige Nachsorge ist bei...

Les implants dentaires sont apparus comme une solution fiable et efficace pour le remplacement des dents manquantes chez les adultes, mais leur application en dentisterie pédiatrique est plus récente et plus complexe.

The evolution of dental materials has always paralleled advances in material sciences. Historically, dentistry relied on metals, ivory, ceramics, and later composites, but each of these materials revealed limitations in durability, adaptability, and biofunctionality. The development of smart materials marks a paradigm shift in pediatric dentistry. Smart materials are those that can respond to environmental stimuli such as pH, temperature, mechanical stress, or biochemical changes in a predictable and beneficial way. Their integration has transformed clinical dentistry by offering minimally...
