Previous studies have shown that children of caregivers with low oral health literacy (OHL) had more untreated caries than children of caregivers with adequate OHL. However, there is a paucity of information on this relationship among children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN). Accordingly, this study aims to assess the association between the caregivers' OHL and the oral health status of CYSHCN.

Recent reviews lament the lack of evidence on the efficacy of regenerative procedures to induce further root maturation despite claims of a paradigm shift in the way infected, necrotic immature teeth with arrested root development can be endodontically treated. The majority of reports are either case series or successful case reports where nonstandardized images may make interpretation uncertain.

With the magnitude and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the usual face-to-face consultation within a clinical setting is no longer feasible. Thus, this led to the need for alternate means to provide adequate patient care for surgical patients. This is where the role of smartphones comes into play, in which it is thus of paramount importance. This research study aimed to assess the usefulness of smartphones in surgical practice during COVID-19 pandemic.
