Dental eruption is a dynamic process, which begins when the dentary germ forms in the developmental crypt and finally appears in the mouth. The dental follicle has an important role in the coronal and root formation of the tooth and is essential for tooth eruption, without which the tooth could not erupt. Tooth eruption requires resorption of the alveolar bone that covers the crown of the tooth to form a path to the eruption and biological processes by which the tooth can move through this eruption path. Tooth eruption needs localized and genetically programmed molecular and cellular processes that allow osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis of the alveolar bone to form the eruption path. The objective of this review was to describe the possible cellular and molecular events that influence the tooth eruption process, since the exact mechanism remains unknown.

Los dientes supernumerarios y las inclusiones de dientes permanentes son muy frecuentes en la infancia. Algunos dientes incluidos pueden estar asociados a la presencia de quistes dentígeros. Reportamos el caso de un paciente de sexo masculino de once años de edad con presencia de tresdientes supernumerarios en el maxilar superior, inclusión dentaria de pieza 11 e inclusión dentaria de pieza 13 con quiste dentígero asociado. El motivo de consulta fue precisamente la falta de las piezas 11 y 13 en boca. Al examen clínico intraoral presentaba: gingivitis generalizadaasociada a placa bacteriana, caries dental, ausencia clínica de piezas 11 y 13, aumento de volumen en palatino a nivel de piezas 11 y 12. Al examen radiográfico se observó que las piezas ausentes en boca se encontraban incluidas y los tres dientes supernumerarios fueron hallazgosradiográficos. El tratamiento quir...

The diagnosis of dental caries is no longer like the traditional diagnosis that histologically mentioned the beginning and the end of a cavity. Diagnostic criteria and tools used in detecting caries lesions have been shown to affect decision-making for their treatment. Today, dental caries is considered a process; Therefore, in this article, new proposals are described that will help us with the diagnosis, management, and control of the said disease. The Cambra and Icdas criteria are the ones that are theoretically supported by scientific evidence of what is currently the pathology and its development, so the historical background of its development, its main characteristics are described, and options for integration into the diagnostic process are proposed. in favor of greater conservation of the dental structure.

The International System of Classification and Management of Caries (ICCMS) is a comprehensive set of clinical protocols aimed at providing a better approach to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of dental caries. Modification of risk factors, treatment of teeth with active caries lesions and the preservation of the structure of dental enamel in order to restore tooth structure only when necessary are ideal approaches that odontopediatricians should incorporate into daily practice. The objective of this study was to present the current diagnostic tools to improve the decisionmaking when selecting treatment plans and provide more individualized care to each patient.
