Management of periodontal health in children: pediatric dentistry and periodontology interface.
Periodontology 2000 2017 June
The oral health of children and adolescents mirrors their general health. Because oral health care is often delivered in isolation from general health care, oral signs and symptoms do not always alert practitioners to their significance beyond the mouth. An important example of this is the association of a higher risk of dental caries and periodontal disease in children and adolescents with overweight, obesity and prediabetic conditions. Oral-health practitioners need to consider the health conditions that their patients may have. This will aid in diagnosis and alert the practitioner to oral conditions that may not resolve without general health-care intervention also. This paper reviews the more common oral conditions involving periodontal health in children and adolescents, and discusses the diagnosis of these conditions, potential associated health problems and the roles of pediatric dentistry and periodontology in the management of these conditions with the goal of children entering adulthood with healthy dentitions.
