Predominant Causes and Types of Orofacial Injury in Children Attending Emergency Department

The importance of knowledge of the management of traumatic dental injuries in emergency departments

Dečaci su energičniji i više uključeni u sportske aktivnosti što je verujemo razlog za značajnu razliku u učestalosti povređivanja među polovima.…”

“…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].
