Biodentine®, induces the development of reparative dentin and achieves the maintenance of tissue vitality and function, thus avoiding more invasive treatments such as pulpectomies or extractions. Objective: To describe the clinical and radiographic behavior of the pulp exposed to tricalcium silicate(Biodentine®) used in pulpotomies as a treatment of deciduous molars.Results: The evaluations of 3, 6 and 9 months showed clinical and radiographic success of all the procedures.Conclusions: It was evidenced that Biodentine® can be used or considered an effective and promising medicinein treatment of pulpotomies in deciduous teeth. However, more long-term clinical studies are needed tohave more accurate conclusions.

Objetivo: La lactancia materna ha sido la principal fuente de alimentación desde el nacimiento del serhumano, siendo recomendada por la Organización Mundial de la Salud como alimento exclusivo durantelos seis primeros meses de vida; sin embargo, por diversas causas se ha ido reemplazando por fórmulaslácteas u otros tipos de leche artificial, al cual se le ha denominado lactancia no materna. Este tipo dealimentación se da principalmente a través del uso del biberón proporcionando ventajas y desventajastanto a los padres como al infante. El uso de estas fórmulas lácteas es de acuerdo a la etapa de vida en la quese encuentra el infante y debe ser orientado por un profesional; por otro lado, si este tipo de alimentaciónno es acompañada con la adecuada higiene oral, se prolonga y se da con mucha frecuencia, se convierteen un factor predisponente a la aparición de caries de infanci...

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.
