Pediatric dentistry, also known as pedodontics, is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the dental care and oral health of infants, children and adolescents. One of the major aspects of pediatric dentistry is the monitoring of the growth and development of the teeth and jaws of children. This involves the evaluation of the eruption of primary teeth and the development of permanent teeth, as well as the identification of any orthodontic abnormalities. It is also involves the administration of preventative dental care which helps in the promotion of good oral health from an early age. This encompasses dental cleanings, dental sealants, and dental check-ups. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of pediatric dentistry. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing treatment modalities and evolution of this field are examined in detail. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.

Pediatrics is a branch of medicine that focuses on the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. It addresses their unique physical, emotional and developmental needs. Pediatric care spans a wide range of medical services, including preventive care, routine check-ups, immunizations, diagnosis, and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses. Pediatrics also plays an important role in assessing and managing the physical and mental well-being of children, monitoring their growth and development, and providing guidance to parents or caregivers. The disorders and medical conditions which are treated within pediatrics range from common childhood illnesses like respiratory infections and ear infections to chronic conditions such as asthma, allergies, diabetes, and behavioral disorders. This book includes some of the vital pieces of works being conducted across the world, on various topics which fall under the umbrella of pediatrics. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by it.

Pediatric subspecialists are critical to ensuring quality care and pursuing research to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment for children. However, there are substantial disincentives to pursuing a career as a pediatric subspecialist, which are often heightened for individuals from groups underrepresented in medicine, and more effective collaboration with primary care clinicians is needed. Changing health care needs, increasing care complexity, and access barriers to pediatric subspecialty care have raised concerns about the current and future availability of pediatric subspecialty care and research. In response, the National Academies, with support from a coalition of sponsors, formed the Committee on the Pediatric Subspecialty Workforce and Its Impact on Child Health and Well-Being to recommend strategies and actions to ensure an adequate pediatric subspecialty physician workforce to support broad access to high quality subspecialty care and a robust research portfolio to advance the health and health care of infants, children, and adolescents. This report outlines recommendations that, if fully implemented, can improve the quality of pediatric medical subspecialty care through a well-supported, superbly trained, and appropriately used primary care, subspecialty, and physician-scientist workforce.

This book reviews the history and evolution of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) as applied in various pediatric congenital heart surgeries, catheter intervention procedures and hybrid surgeries.
