Management of crown‐related fractures in children: an update review

Abstract

-Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) are a serious public health problem. Epidemiology of dental trauma indicates that these injuries are more prevalent in child population of the world. Children are the sufferers in two-thirds of all TDIs observed. Although being a major fraction, crown-related fractures are a less severe form of TDIs with respect to their complications and sequelae. However, as with other types of traumatic injuries, the delay in seeking for immediate care following a traumatic injury and the lack of appropriate treatment may compromise long-term outcomes. This article reviews the occurrence, management, and prognosis of crown-related fractures in primary and permanent teeth in light of the recent literature.

Long‐term results of crown fragment reattachment techniques for fractured anterior teeth: A retrospective case‐control study

“…This condition could have ranked in the fifth place after caries, headache, anemia, and hearing loss, if considered and listed among the main chronic diseases and injuries by the GBD study 2015 . After dental caries, TDI is the second most frequent oral disease preceding periodontal disease and severe tooth loss …”

“…TDIs usually affect a single tooth, however, on occurrence of certain traumatic events such as sports, violence, and traffic accidents, multiple tooth injuries can arise . Maxillary central incisors are the most frequently affected teeth in both primary and permanent dentitions .…”

Retrospective analysis of pulp necrosis frequency after uncomplicated crown-fractures in children

“…Traumatske povrede čvrsih zubnih tkiva kao što su frakture gleđi retko su praćene komplikacijama [8]. Za razliku od njih frakture gleđi i dentina su opsežnije povrede sa većim rizikom za nastanak komplikacija.…”

“…U literaturi, frakture gleđi i gleđi i dentina bez eksponiranja pulpe označavaju se kao nekomplikovane. Frakture gleđi, nekomplikovane frakture gleđi i dentina i luksacije najčešće su povrede stalnih zuba [7].Traumatske povrede čvrsih zubnih tkiva kao što su frakture gleđi retko su praćene komplikacijama [8]. Za razliku od njih frakture gleđi i dentina su opsežnije povrede sa većim rizikom za nastanak komplikacija.…”

The Rehabilitation of Permanent Teeth with Complicated Crown Fracture by MTA Pulpotomy and Re-Attachment: Case Series Report Study and Literature Review

“…Although oral region only constitutes 1% of the body, it is most effect of the body after trauma [1]. Epidemiological studies have reported that pre-school children are exposed to dental trauma rate of 6.1%-62.1% and approximately 25% of all children below the age of 18 years are exposed to trauma in anterior teeth [2][3][4].…”
