- Abstract
Introduction. The therapeutic approach of deep carious lesions in the temporary teeth represents an extremely complex problem for pediatric dentists, both in terms of their instrumentation and in terms of collaboration with children in specialized treatment, but also with their parents. Purpose. In this material we tried to present as briefly as possible the role of the pediatric dental specialist in the treatment of deep carious lesions existing in the temporary dentition. Material and method. The study was carried out with the help of 41 dentists in Romania, from September 10 to October 10, 2019. Results and discussions. Centralized responses create a clear picture of how practitioners understand the importance of dental caries treatment in temporary teeth. Conclusions. Maintaining temporary teeth on the arches until the eruption of the definitive counterparts, plays an important role in maintaining the length and shape of the dental arches, as well as in preventing the occurrence of malocclusions.
