Orale Problembefunde - Was jeder Kinderarzt über Kinderzahnmedizin wissen sollte

Besides early childhood caries, which affects about 600 million children worldwide, there are other oral findings that warrant the referral of a child to a paediatrician. Manifestations in the oral cavity may be the first symptom of a systemic disease. Furthermore, a confirmed general disease may occur in the oral cavity in addition to general symptoms that affect the body. This shows the close relationship between paediatrics and paediatric dentistry. Close cooperation and consultation are often necessary. In addition to the recognition of diseases and referral to a colleague, many diseases require interprofessional care of affected patients.
