”Dental Implants in Pediatric Dentistry”
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 stability, and prosthetic adaptation. Periodic assessments ensure that the implant and surrounding structures remain healthy and function optimally. As children transition to adulthood, prosthetic components may require modification or replacement to accommodate changes in occlusion or esthetic preferences.

Proposal for photoanthropometric frontal facial analysis
The face is the part of the body that most synthesises the human being and, in order for it to be understood, it has been the target of studies in the most diverse fields of science, including the area of Forensic Facial Identification. The science responsible for studying the face and its relationships, called Cephalometry, although exhaustively studied for clinical and radiographic use, mainly by dental professionals, has not yet been standardised and validated for use in facial analysis on images and/or photographs. Due to the growth in technological and automated production in the era in which we live, it is necessary to develop methodologies that confirm the objectivity, reproducibility and reliability of their analyses, especially for areas that require precision and technical-scientific rigour, such as criminal investigation. With this in mind, the aim of this study was to propose a standardisation methodology for determining cephalometric points for facial examinations based exclusively on frontal images and to define which cephalometric points have the greatest and least variability in measurement, for possible application in human identification.

Persons with severe defects involving partial or total loss of facial organs may be subjected to disturbances psychologically, socially, and economically. Advancements in modern surgical procedures, instruments, and equipment have provided some individuals with maxillofacial defects with new opportunities to be rehabilitated into society through corrective, restorative or plastic surgery. Although corrective surgery is capable of restoring some lost tissue and the physical appearance of a patient to satisfactory levels, surgery may not be the ideal choice of treatment because of patient age, medical condition, large defects or preference. This review encompasses the description and application of newer maxillofacial imaging technologies and rapid prototyping techniques in intraoral and extraoral defects. It aims to highlight the vast scope of these procedures in changing the face of modern prosthetic rehabilitation.
Radiographic Methods of Dental Age Estimation
The dental system is an integral part of the human body, its growth and development can be studied in parallel with other physiological maturity indicators such as bone age, menarche and height. Several authors have shown that dental parameters are more suitable for age estimation in children because the variability is lower since calcification rates of teeth are more controlled by genes than by environmental factors. Dental features can give most precise, accurate and reliable age estimates, particularly in sub-adults, as dental evidence is less influenced by the taphonomic damages or traumatic insults. Amongst the various methods used for age determination in individuals, the radiological method has certain advantages over other methods. They are simple, quick, economic, non-mutilating and non-invasive can be applied for identifying the age in dead as well as living persons and in all communities.
