Asthma is defined as a chronic inflammatory condi­tion characterised by variable and reversible episodes of airflow obstruction and bronchospasm. Asthma is the commonest chronic disease in childhood. Pediatric asthma is a common chronic condition with wide-ranging implications for children’s health, their families, and the health care system.

The paper reviews oral health issues and ways to improve them in people with disabilities. Currently, people with disabilities represent 15% of the population (over 1 billion), about 95 million being children between 0 and 14 years (WHO, 2015). For many reasons (limited ability to perform routine personal oral care, oral respiration, sweetened medicines, impaired masticatory function, associated dental abnormalities, etc.), these people, and especially children, are considered to be extremely vulnerable for oral diseases.

School is the ideal environment for education because medical information reaches a large number of children who are in an important stage of behavioral development. Aim: to assess the behaviors towards oral health among two groups of students aged between 9 and 13, from Bucharest and Tehran.

This pilot studywas to investigate correlations between molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and dental fear. Data were compiled from the dental records of 90 8-12-years-old children with mild/severeMIH. Dental examinations were performed by one calibrated examiner (BS) in university dental clinic, after the children had brushed their teeth, using an intraoral mirror.

Key words: prospective-retrospective study, single-unit implant-supported crown, osteotome sinus-lift technique, Renouard-Rangert biomechanical risk factors, initial biomechanical score, final biomechanical score.

It is well known that the incidence of dental diseases has been different in different periods of development of humanity and that lately it has increased substantially.
