Dental Trauma: Case-Scenario Protocol for Dentists
Journal Title: Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences (MJMS) - Year 2010, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The prompt and appropriate management of traumatic dental injury is an important determinant of the prognosis of the involved tooth. The lack of knowledge of the appropriate handling sequence often has detrimental effect. Dental injuries can be classified by etiology, anatomy, pathology or therapeutic considerations with extrusion, intrusion and tooth avulsion being the most frequent types of dental trauma that we see in the dental office. The transport and care of the affected tooth, the prompt and adequate treatment in the dental office, as well as the proper follow up are imperative for a successful outcome of these incidents. The goal of present paper is to help develop a case-scenario protocol for dentists which can help deal with everyday teeth trauma in most appropriate way.
