Dental Trauma Guide: A source of evidence‐based treatment guidelines for dental trauma

Abstract

Diagnosis and treatment for traumatic dental injuries are very complex owing to the multiple trauma entities represented by six luxation types and nine fracture types affecting both the primary and the permanent dentition. When it is further considered that fracture and luxation injuries are often combined, the result is that more than 100 trauma scenarios exist, when the two dentitions are combined. Each of these trauma scenarios has a specific treatment demand and prospect for healing. With such a complexity in diagnosis and treatment, it is obvious that even experienced practitioners may have problems in selecting proper treatment for some of these trauma types. To remedy this situation, an Internet-based knowledge base consisting of 4000 dental trauma cases with long-term follow up is now available to the public and the professions on the Internet using the address http://www.DentalTraumaGuide.org. It is the aspiration that the use of this Guide may lead the practitioner to offer an evidence-based diagnosis and treatment.

Traumatic Intrusion of a Maxillary Canine Tooth: 3 Cases

“…The degree of traumatic intrusion and stage of root development affects the outcome and treatment planning. 4 This case series reports the outcome of 3 traumatically intruded maxillary canine teeth in 3 patients with varying stages of root development. in damage to the attachment apparatus and disruption to the neurovascular supply to pulp, both of which occur to varying degrees based on the severity of injury sustained.…”

“…Crushing injuries occur when the tooth is traumatically forced into the socket or alveolar bone, causing extensive damage to the periodontal ligament (PDL) and neurovascular supply. 4 Direction and force of impact affect the type of luxation injury.…”
