In mid-May, the XLVI Annual Congress of the Spanish Society of Pediatric Dentistry was held , where the latest developments in the sector were presented.
At Diario del Bajo Cinca, we wanted to learn about the new developments presented this year to improve oral health care for children. We asked Dr. Rossana Pascual , medical director of Clínica Dental Fraga , about the SEOP congress held in Girona and the innovations presented at this year's event.
At the annual meeting, improvements in restorative materials were discussed , including the new and improved dentin substitute . This product is very useful for deep caries lesions. Bioactive and biocompatible, it promotes remineralization and pulp healing. Fraga Dental Clinic has already begun using it for cases requiring this treatment, achieving excellent results.
As Rossana points out, another current topic was the oral microbiome and its relationship to systemic diseases. The oral microbiome is the bacterial community that lives in our mouths and is the second most diverse in the body (it harbors more than 700 different species). When this system is balanced, the body is healthy. But when, for any reason, it is disrupted and the balance is destroyed, diseases such as gingivitis, periodontitis, and cavities can appear.
It's important to remember that antibiotics, pesticides, sugar, tobacco, alcohol, and soft drinks eradicate or weaken many microorganisms, benefiting others. Therefore, at Fraga Dental Clinic, they recommend consulting professionals who are up-to-date and familiar with the microbiome concept, and who know how to achieve this balance, thus preventing the development of potential pathologies.
For Rossana Pascual, medical director of the Fraga clinic, staying up-to-date and aware of the latest developments in the field is essential to providing the best possible service to her patients. Clínica Dental Fraga encourages all residents of the Bajo/Baix Cinca region to consult with them with any questions about these and other oral and pediatric dental topics.
