title: Paediatric dentistry in the new millennium: I. Quality care for children.
abstract: This is the first in a series of articles on paediatric dentistry in the new millennium. The aim of the series is to present a structured approach to the management of children and the common dental problems that are encountered in paediatric patients. Starting with the philosophy of 'quality care', as presented in this article, the series is intended to update readers on modern approaches to both pharmacological and non-pharmacological behaviour management, restorative techniques and the management of common developmental defects that present in both primary and young permanent teeth. Finally, preventive approaches that are easy to administer in a general dental practice will be discussed.
