This document provides an overview of the management of dental traumatic injuries in paediatric patients. It discusses the classification, aetiology, epidemiology, clinical evaluation and treatment protocols for various injuries. Key points include:
- Dental trauma is common in children aged 2-4 and 7-10 years old, often due to falls or collisions.
- Injuries range from enamel fractures to luxations and avulsions and are classified systems like Andreasen.
- Clinical evaluation involves medical history, extraoral/intraoral exams, sensitivity tests, and radiographs to diagnose the injury.
- Treatment depends on the injury but may include allowing re-eruption, extraction, or restoration with composite for fractures.
Dental trauma is one of the most common presentation in the pediatrics clinic. The fears and anxiety of these patients make management difficult. If improperly managed, it could affect the patient self-esteem and quality of life.

Replantation of Avulsed Permanent Anterior Teeth: A Case Report.Abu-Hussein Muhamad
Tooth avulsion in the permanent dentition constitutes a dental emergency. Replantation of the avulsed tooth restores aesthetics and occlusal function shortly after the injury. This article describes the management of a 12-year old male with four avulsed anterior maxillary permanent teeth. The avulsed teeth were replanted and root canal treatment carried out after a short fixation. The result obtained was very satisfactory and the teeth remain in good functional status one year after replantation. Early treatment and regular attendance to clinic following replantation is an important factor for good result.

A radiograph is only one part of the diagnostic process. Usually one does NOT make a diagnosis solely from a radiograph. A diagnosis is made by the clinician once all the diagnostic information has been collected and analyzed collectively. An interpretation or a differential diagnosis is made from the radiograph.
One examines a radiograph and NOT an X-ray. Bear in mind that an X-ray cannot be seen. X-ray is a photon / beam of energy.

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

6. INTRODUCTION
Dental trauma is one of the most common
presentation in the paediatrics clinic. The fears
and anxiety of these patients make management
difficult. If improperly managed, it could affect
the patient self-esteem and quality of life
7. AETIOLOGY
The most accident prone times include;
2-4 years for primary dentition
7-10 yrs for permanent dentition
Aetiological factors include;
1. Falls
2. Collision
3. Playing and running
4. Contact sports
5. Road traffic accident
6. Child abuse; ESPN
Emotional-Sexual-Physical-Neglect
8. PREDISPOSING FACTORS
1. Angle class 11 div 1
2. Increased overjet;
3-6mm..double the risk
>6mm….triple the risk
3. Incompetent lip closure
4. Improperly fitted mouthguard..twice the risk
9. DIRECT AND INDIRECT TRAUMA
Direct trauma;
involves the tooth directly
favours anterior teeth
Indirect trauma
seen when the lower arch forcefully close against
the upper arch
favours crown and crown-root fracture of the
premolar and molar region
10. EPIDEMIOLOGY
Dental trauma is common in childhood and
adolescence.
By 5 yrs; boys-- 31-40%
girls….16-30% and
At 12 years;
12-33% of boys and 4-19% of girls would
have suffered dental trauma
boys : girl; 2:1 in both dentitions
11. In primary dentition;
anterior segment is commonly affected
especially the maxillary central incisor,
concussion, subluxation, and luxation are the
commonest
In permanent dentition;
luxation and fracture injuries are the
commonest
Maxillary central incisor>maxillary lateral
incisor>mandibular incisor
12. CLASSIFICATION
Several classifications have been proposed for
easy diagnosis and treatment need of various
traumatic dental injuries(TDI). E.G
1. Ellis classification
2. WHO 1978
3. Garcia-Godoy 1968…for primary and
permanent dentition
4. Andreasen 1981..modification of WHO
13. ANDREASEN’S CLASSIFICATION
A. Dental Hard Tissue and Pulp Only
Crown infraction
Uncomplicated crown
Complicated crown
Uncomplicated crown-root
Complicated crown-root
Root fracture
15. C. SURROUNDING BONE
Comminution of alveolar socket
Fractures of facial or lingual alveolar socket
wall
Fractures of alveolar process -/+
involvement of the socket
Fractures of the mandible or maxilla -/+
involvement of the tooth socket
17. PART 2:
CLINICAL EVALUATION OF PATIENTS
1. History of the trauma’
HOW;
to know extent of injury; direct or indirect
to rule out head injury involvement
Discrepancy between history and clinical
findings raises suspicion of physical abuse.
Where;
whether contaminated soil or not; which may
be an indication for tetanus prophylaxis or not
18. When;
time interval between injury and presentation
would determine treatment option and prognosis
Is the tooth fracture or not;
chest radiograph ..if not found
possible reattachment if found
Any neurological symptoms
19. 2. Medical history
Congenital heart diseases
Epilepsy
Bleeding disorders
Allergies
3.Past dental history
Regular attenders are more likely to be cooperative
4. Immunization status.
refer to physician for TT injection if trauma occurred
in a contaminated soil and patient had not receive a
booster dose for the past 5 yrs.
20. EXAMINATIONS
A. General exam; a quick head-to-toe
examination is done to r/o other injuries.
Signs of shock and head injury must be
excluded.
B. Extra-oral exam; observe and palpate for;
Swelling, bruises, laceration
Limitation of mandibular movement
Mandibular deviation on opening and closing
Bony step deformity
Are wounds clean or contaminated
21. C. intra-oral exams;
Laceration, haemorrhage and swelling
Assess the occlusion, tooth displacement,
fractured crowns, or cracks in the enamel.
Assess mobility;
horizontal and vertical direction
suspect ‘enblock alveolar process fracture
if several teeth move at the same time.
excessive mobility…root fracture or
displacement
22. Reaction to percussion; the sensitivity and the
sound on percussion are important.
to assess PDL inflammation
luxated teeth are always tender
duller note indicate a root fracture
Colour of the teeth; early colour change
associated with pulpal breakdown is visible on
the palatal surface ,in the gingival third of the
crown
23. SENSIBILITY ASSESSMENT
Usually to ascertain nerve and blood supply
not reliable in children
More of a diagnostic tool in permanent
dentition
Unreliable in erupting permanent and teeth
with open apices
Positive response after a traumatic injury is
more valuable than negative response although
none should be trusted
24. Commonly used are; EPT, thermal test(heat or
cold). Other include; carbon dioxide snow, laser
Doppler flowmetry
25. RADIOGRAPHIC EVALUATION
Indication for radiograph;
1. To detect root fracture
2. Ascertain extent of root development
3. To determine resorption
4. To detect foreign body in soft tissue
5. To detect jaw fracture
6. To note position and stage of development
of permanent teeth
7. To detect size of pulp chamber
8. To r/o periapical radiolucency
9. For follow-up evaluation
26. Take two radiographs at different angles to
detect a root fracture.
If access and co-operation are difficult then one
anterior occlusal radiograph rarely misses a root
fracture.
Periapical films positioned behind lips can be
used to detect foreign bodies.
Lateral anterior view with an occlusal
radiograph position by patient side could help
detect extent of intrusive luxation.
Request for OPG if jaw injury is suspected
27.
28. DOCUMENTATION PHOTOGRAPH
Take a pre and post treatment photograph for
proper documentation
To assess outcome of treatment
For medicolegal purpose
Always obtain a written consent
29. TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR DENTAL TRAUMATIC
INJURIES
Dental trauma to primary dentition
Most common is subluxation, intrusive luxation
and avulsion. Crown and root fracture are rare.
NB; large marrow spaces and pliability of the
alveolar bone.
30. SUBLUXATION
Diagnosis; mobile tooth -/+ sulcular bleeding
X-ray; nil abnormality
Treatment; clean associated soft tissue injury
with 0.2% chlohexidine with gauze swabs twice
daily.
Slight mobility; place on soft diet for 2 wks
Marked mobility; extract
Follow-up; after 1 month to assess mobility
Prognosis; usually good
31.
32. INTRUSIVE LUXATION
Tooth displace towards the socket, compressing
the PDL and crushing the alveolar bone.
Diagnosis; not mobile, not tender, appear
shortened or in severe cases would seem missing
Investigation; lateral anterior radiograph.
Aim is to ascertain r/ship of apex of intruded
tooth with the permanent tooth bud
33. Treatment;
a. if apex is displace labially, allow for
spontaneous re-eruption
b. if displaced palatally; extract the tooth
Follow-up; Review should be weekly for a month
then monthly for a maximum of 6 months. Most
re-eruption occurs between 1 and 6 months and if
this does not occur then ankylosis is likely and
extraction is necessary to prevent ectopic
eruption of the permanent successor
35. Prognosis; 90% of cases re-erupt b/w 2-6months. In
dome cases ankylosis could occur leading to a delay of
eruption of the permanent tooth.
Extrusive luxation
Partial avulsion as PDL is severely torn/damaged
Diagnosis; tooth appear elongated and mobile
X-ray; increased PDL space apically
Treatment; mild extrusion<3mm allow tooth to
reposition spontaneously and heal if tooth is immature.
when do I need to extract?
a. Severe extrusion/mobility
36. b. Tooth near exfoliation
c. Child not cooperating
d. Tooth fully mature
Follow-up; if repositioned take x-ray to determine
reduction in the PDL space apically
37.
38. LATERAL LUXATION
Tooth displaced in any position other than axially
Diagnosis; tooth appear displace, not mobile nor
tender
X-ray; shows increased PDL space and displaced
tooth apex
Treatment; if apex is displace buccally and there
is no gagging of occlusion, allow spontaneous
realignment.
extract if apex is displaces towards the
permanent tooth bud.
39. prognosis;
If tooth is repositioned, there
is risk of pulpal necrosis
compare to spontaneous
eruption.
Note the occlusal interference
40. AVULSION
Diagnosis; Tooth is out of the socket
X-ray; do a chest x-ray if tooth can’t be accounted
for
Treatment; do not re-implant due to risk of
damaging the permanent tooth bud.
Though space maintenance is not necessary, a
fixed or removable be fabricated to allay aesthetic
concerns
Follow-up; permanent tooth eruption could be
delay for 1-2yrs due to formation of fibrotic band
42. HARD TISSUE INJURIES
UNCOMPLICATED CROWN FRCATURE;
Enamel -/+ dentine # without pulpal involvement.
Diagnosis; evidence of loss of tooth structure
X-ray; soft tissue radiograph to locate tooth fragment
Treatment;
aim is to preserve pulp vitality and restore
aesthetics.
small fracture: smoothen rough margins/edges
large fracture:
for large enamel fracture restore with acid-
etch-composite resin
44. if dentine is involved;
protect the pulp using acid resistant calcium
hydroxide or GIC restore with acid-etch composite
COMPLICATED CROWN FRACTURE
Is uncommon in primary dentition
Diagnosis; loss of tooth structure with pulp
exposure clinically and on radiograph
X-ray; to r/o fragment in soft tissue
45. Treatment options; Depends on
patients cooperation
vitality of the tooth
stages of root development
formocresol pulpotomy; if tooth is vital
pulpectomy with zinc oxide and eugenol
non-vital tooth
3/4th of the root must be formed
1-2mm short of the apex
extraction; if child is uncooperative
tooth is non-vital
46. Final restoration; depends on amount of tooth
structure remaining
composite resin if remnant can support
the composite restoration
stainless steel crown with composite
veneering if small fragment remains
Prognosis; depends on concomitant injury to
the PDL.
47. ROOT FRACTURE;
Diagnosis; mobile coronal segment -/+
displaced
Radiograph;
take at least 2 views
reveal radiolucent line b/w fragment
succedaneous tooth could obscure
root fragment
Treatment; depends on level of fracture:
at apical 1/3rd and with minimal mobility,
observe. Take serial radiograph of the tooth.
49. If the coronal fragment becomes non-vital and
symptomatic then it should be removed. The
apical portion usually remains vital and
undergoes normal resorption.
At the middle and cervical 3rd, tooth should be
extracted.
50. TRAUMA TO YOUNG PERMANENT TEETH
Prompt and accurate diagnosis is invaluable in the
success of treatment.
Aims and objective of treatment;
1. Emergency/immediate; to
retain vitality of fracture and displaced tooth
treat exposed pulp tissue;
reduction and immobilization of displaced
teeth
antiseptic mouthwash, +/- antibiotics and
tetanus prophylaxis.
52. HARD TISSUE INJURIES AND MANAGEMENT
Enamel infraction;
Incomplete fracture in the enamel
Examination; reveal craze lines on
transillumination
Treatment; observe to ensure tooth integrity and
pulp vitality.
Uncomplicated crown fracture
Loss of enamel -/+ dentine fracture without pulp
involvement
Diagnosis; clinical and radiographic evidence of
loss of tooth structure
54. ,
Treatment;
for small fracture use fine disk to smoothen
the margins
for larger loss, protect the pulp with calcium
hydroxide or GIC then restore with acid-etch
composite.
Enamel and dentine bonding agents have
also been used to protect the pulp from
thermal irritants and bacterial ingress.
55. COMPLICATED CROWN FRACTURE;
Factors that influence choice of treatment:
vitality of expose pulp
time elapse since the exposure
degree of root maturation of the fracture
tooth
restorability of the fracture crown
Aim of treatment; to preserve pulp vitality
57. Treatment options;
direct pulp capping(DPC)
pulpotomy; partial or complete
pulpectomy
carry out DPC ;
when exposure is pin-point
when exposure is just of few hours>24hrs
when the apex is open
as an emergency measure even pulpotomy is to
be done
58. Review after a month, then 3 months, and eventually at 6
monthly intervals for up to 4 years to assess pulp vitality.
Take periodic radiograph
On the radiograph check the following:
• root is growing in length;
• root canal is maturing (narrowing);
• Compare with previous x-rays.
If growth is not occurring the pulp should be assumed to
be non-vital.
59. When to do pulpotomy:
pulpal exposure for longer hours >24hrs
larger pulpal exposure
immature open apices
Aim of treatment; to eliminate inflamed pulp tissue and
preserve vital radicular pulp aiding complete root
development(apexogenesis)
Vital(full) pulpotomy or partial(Cvek) pulpotomy could be
done depending on the level of inflammation and extent of
bleeding on amputation
60. Review after a month, 3 months, 6 monthly intervals for
up to 4 years to assess pulp vitality.
Do periodic radiograph.
If vitality is lost, non-vital pulp therapy should be
undertaken whether or not there is a calcific bridge
Prognosis;
success rates for partial (Cvek) pulpotomies are quoted at
97%. Those for coronal pulpotomies at 75%.
61. Pulpectomy as an option; done
in non-vital pulp
pulp with closed apex
when permanent restoration need a post build up
an apical root end closure(apexification) is done, but
dentinal wall is left fragile and easily fracture
62. first month, then 3 mths, then 6 mths
Do periodic radiograph to check evidence of calcific barrier
formation. This will normally take b/w 9-24 mths
final treatment; these include
Definitive canal obturation
composite restoration
porcelain veneer and crown
post-retained crown
64. Root fracture.
Diagnosis; clinically mobile teeth and 1 or more
radiolucent lines separating fracture segments
Aims of treatment;
to reposition and stabilise coronal segment
encourage healing of PDL and vascular supply
to restore aesthetics and function
Treatment;
reposition segment and immobilise for 2-3mths
(preferably fixed splint composite resin a better choice; but
why?)
65.
66. Decision to splint;
this depend on the level of fracture and whether long term
stability of the tooth depends on it
Apical 1/3rd fracture; no need to splint except there is an
associated subluxation
Middle and cervical 1/3rd; splint if tooth is to be retained
Internal splints have ranged from hedstroem files to nickel-
chromium points, screwed and cemented into position.
67.
68. Final treatment
1. If coronal segment is extracted for cervical fracture, root
portion is extruded surgically or via orthodontic mean
and pulp therapy done. A post-retained crown is planned
2. Both fragments could be extracted and prosthesis
planned.
follow-up
assess pulp vitality
assess stability of tooth
69. Prognosis
this is best for apical 3rd fracture
becomes poorer in middle and cervical fracture
70. This involve damage to supporting structures of the
teeth i.e PDL and alveolar bone.
Primary objective is to maintain vitality of the PDL
which is important in the long term prognosis of the
luxated teeth.
71. CONCUSSION
Diagnosis; tooth is firm, tender to pressure and percussion
Radiograph; usually no abnormality
Aim of treatment; to encourage healing of PDL and maintain
pulp vitality
Treatment; soft diet for 2wks, relieve it from occlusion if there
is complain of pain
Follow-up; vitality test foe 1, 3 and 6 month the yearly.
Radiograph to assess root development
Prognosis; usually good, but necrosis in 3-6% of cases
72. Subluxation
Diagnosis; tooth is mobile. Bleeding at the marginal
gingival, tender to percussion
Radiology; the PDL space is widened
Aim of treatment; allow healing of the PDL and ensure
vascular supply
Treatment; stabilize and relieve from occlusion. For
comfort use flexible splint(<2wks) if apex is fully formed
and extremely tender.
75. LATERAL LUXATION
Diagnosis;
tooth is displaced
crown may be palatal or labially
displaced ;
not mobile nor tender
Radiology; PDL space is increased
apex is displaced labially
76.
77. Treatment;
reposition tooth with gentle and firm digital
pressure
use flexible splint 3-8wks
place on antibiotics and TT(if indicated)
use 0.12% chlohexidine mouth wash
Follow-up; do periodic radiograph to monitor DPL re-
attachment.
Prognosis; tooth with closed apices could become
necrotic(start root canal trt) and have the canal obliterated
78. Diagnosis; teeth appear shortened, or in severe cases
could appear missing, not mobile nor tender
Radiograph; root apex is displaced apically
PDL space is non-continuous
Treatment; depends on:
1. stage of root development: open or close
2. severity of injury; mild <3 mm, moderate (3-6 mm);
or severe (>6 mm).
79. OPEN APEX ;
Mild intrusion <3 mm.
Excellent eruptive potential.
Treat conservatively and review.
If no movement in 2-4 months move
orthodontically.
Moderate Intrusion 3-6 mm.
Disimpact (with forceps if necessary) and either
allow to erupt spontaneously for 2-4 months before
extruding orthodontically or apply orthodontic forces early.
80. Severe intrusion >6 mm.
Orthodontic repositioning may be impossible and
disimpaction followed by surgical repositioning under
either LA, LA/sedation, or GA is appropriate.
Functional splint for 2-3 weeks.
81. Follow-up.
Monitor pulpal status clinically and radiographically at
regular intervals during the first 6 months after injury,
and then 6 monthly, and start endodontics if necessary:
Non-setting calcium hydroxide in root canal does not
preclude against orthodontic movement. Once
apexification has occurred and orthodontic movement
has ceased.
obturate canal with gutta percha.
82. CLOSED APEX ;
Mild intrusion <3 mm.
Orthodontic extrusion is probably indicated straight
away although some authors have advocated conservative
treatment.
Moderate intrusion 3-6 mm.
Orthodontic extrusion is indicated straight away.
83. Severe intrusion >6 mm.
Surgical repositioning. Functional splint for 2-3
weeks
84.
85. Follow-up;
for closed apices carry out root canal as early as possible to
guide against external root resorption.
Prognosis;
mature closed apex have higher risk of pulp
necrosis(96%), root resorption and ankylosis
immature apex have 60% risk of necrosis and 56% risk of
resorption
teeth treated early enough have better prognosis
86. Tooth displace axially from the socket
Diagnosis; clinically appear longer and is mobile
On radiograph; PDL space is increased apically
treatment; reposition tooth with gentle and firm digital
pressure
splint for 2wks
Follow-up; closed apex are at risk of necrosis hence, pulp
therapy is indicated after splinting
87.
88. As a rule all avulsed teeth should be re-implant.
Diagnosis; clinically and radiological evidence show
absence of tooth in the socket in case complete intrusion
is been suspected.
Management;
1. Give first aid if you receive a phone call
2. On arrival in clinic the following is done;
91. First aid for avulsed tooth
1. Do not touch the root of the tooth. Handle the tooth
by the crown only.
2. Rinse the tooth off only if there is dirt covering it. Do
not scrub or scrape the tooth.
3. Attempt to reimplant the tooth into the socket with
gentle pressure, and hold it in position.
4. If unable to reimplant the tooth, place it in a
protective transport solution, such as Hank's solution,
milk or saline.
92.
93. This will hydrate and nourish the periodontal ligament
cells which are still attached to the root. A
small container of Hank's Balanced Salt Solution can be
purchased in dental emergency kit form at many
drug stores. Contact lens solution is not an acceptable
storage medium.
5. The tooth should not be wrapped in tissue or cloth.
The tooth should never be allowed to dry.
94. 6. Take the child to a dentist or hospital emergency
room for evaluation and treatment.
7. Radiographs may need to be taken of the airway,
stomach, and mouth if the tooth cannot be found .
8. Tetanus prophylaxis should be considered if the
dental socket is contaminated with debris.
95. 1. For A Mature Tooth With A Closed Apex:
If the extra-oral dry time is <60 minutes, reimplant as
soon as possible.
If the extra-oral dry time is >60 minutes, soak in citric
acid or curette the root; then soak in stannous
fluoride(2%) for 10 minutes.
Rinse with saline.
Perform root canal therapy one week following the
trauma.
96. If the extra-oral dry time is <60 minutes, soak in
doxycycline (1mg/20 ml saline) for 5 minutes. If the
extra -oral dry time is >60 minutes, provide the same
treatment as for a closed apex.
Apply a flexible, functional splint for 7 to 10 days. If
an alveolar fracture is present, provide a very rigid
splint for 4-6 weeks.
97. suture any laceration
place on antibiotics and analgesics
prescribe 0.12% chlohexidine mouthwash
check TT status
98. Open apex;
EOT < 60min; monitor for 3-4 mths, if pathosis sets in
start apexification
EOT >60min; start apexification immediately
Closed apex;
provide traditional pulp treatment and obturate
Remove splint after 7-10days
Continue review every 3-4wks
100. In primary dentition;
Pulpitis; reversible or irreversible
Pulp canal obliteration
Pulp necrosis
Resorption; inflammatory and replacement
Injury to developing permanent teeth; hypoplasia,
hypomineralisation, crown dilacerations, arrested root
development, odontoma-like formation
101. Trauma dental injuries is common among toddlers and
adolescence. Due to the instability of children in their
developmental stage they become prone to it. Mouth
guard use in contact sport can greatly reduce the
incidence and severity.
Effort should be made if possible to preserve a
traumatise tooth considering the aesthetics and
functional role they play.
