“…In a study of 361 teeth with either crown fractures and/or luxation injuries, teeth treated according to guidelines established by the International Association of Dental Traumatology had a significantly lower complication rate than teeth otherwise treated (6). This review will focus on studies where multivariate analyses of the pulpal response to luxation, avulsion, root fracture, and crown fracture have been undertaken and outline processes that maintain a vital pulp and avoid inappropriate endodontic intervention.…”

“…Trauma to the facial area may create mild damage to teeth such as concussion or subluxation, or more severe damage such as tooth fractures, root fractures, lateral luxations, intrusions, extrusions or avulsions. The initial impact on pulp may be reversible or may create a latent effect on the vitality of pulp some years after the incident (5)(6)(7).…”

“…Over one-third of general practitioners reported to be confronted with a young child with dental trauma only once or twice a year. Given the evidence that first-aid measures are highly decisive for the prognosis of a traumatized tooth, 15 critical reflection about the most optimal way of organizing emergency care for dental traumatic injuries is needed.…”

Background/Aim Traumatized teeth are more susceptible to complications during orthodontic tooth movement. The aim of this study was to explore current practices among Belgian dental practitioners regarding orthodontic treatment of children with a history of dental trauma. Material and Methods A questionnaire survey was organized among general dentists, pediatric dentists, and orthodontists in Flanders (Belgium). Questionnaires were distributed at the occasions of annual meetings or symposia. They consisted of questions regarding exposure to dental trauma and orthodontic treatment approach for patients with a dental trauma history. Results The questionnaire was completed by 121 general dentists, 47 pediatric dentists, and 99 orthodontists. A history of dental trauma influenced referral for orthodontic treatment by general dentists and pediatric dentists moderately (median VAS scores of 5 and 6, respectively, on a scale of 0 (not at all) to 10 (utmost)), indicating uncertainty and doubt. Additional checkups during tooth movement were usually not organized by general dentists in 33.6% and by pediatric dentists in 19.1% of cases (P = 0.006). One‐third of the orthodontists (33.3%) experienced tooth loss linked to orthodontic movement of a tooth with dental trauma history in at least one patient. Only a minority of the practitioners knew of the existence of specific guidelines (7.6%, 15.6% and 22.7%, respectively, of general dentists, pediatric dentists, and orthodontists) (P = 0.007). The Dental Trauma Guide was the guideline mentioned most frequently, although this tool does not contain recommendations regarding orthodontic treatment after trauma. Conclusion In the group of Belgian general dental, pediatric and orthodontists surveyed, there was uncertainty regarding the orthodontic management of patients with a history of dental trauma especially among general practitioners. Further educational training is recommended.
