2. •Any injury to teeth or their supporting
structures is grouped under the domain
of dentoalveolar injuries.

18. Initial Assessment
Confident and sympathetic approach by both doctor
and nurse to ensure that the parents feel the situation
is under control and also helps the patient to calm
down
History taking
a) When did the accident occur?
b) Where did the accident occur?
c) How did the accident occur?
d) Has the child any other symptoms?
e) Have the lost teeth being accounted for?
19. Presenting Complaint
Tooth sensitive to hot and cold
Sharp tooth
Mobile tooth / teeth
Oral pain
Oral bleeding
Malocclusion
20. Investigations
X-rays
a) Dental ---periapicals, occlusal, Lateral Ceph.
b) Jaw fractures --- Orthopantomogram, PA face
c) Lips --- Periapical, Lateral Cephalogram
( foreign bodies, tooth fragment)
d) Chest X- rays--- Aspirated tooth or tooth fragment
Vitality test
Transillumination
21. Enamel fracture
With pulp vitality
Smooth fracture surface
Place protective varnish
Place fluoride gel
Without pulp vitality:
Endodontic treatment
22. Enamel and dentin fracture
Restoration with Composite and / or GIC
23. Enamel and Dentine fracture with
Pulpal Exposure
< 2 mm
Not contaminated with saliva etc.
Presenting within 24 hours.
Pulp caping with calcium hydroxide plus crown
restoration with composite
> 2 mm
Contaminated
Presenting after 24 hours
Pulpotomy with 2mm of pulp removed dressed with calcium
hydroxide plus restoration.
Old exposure with pulpal necrosis
Pulpectomy and endodontic therapy
24. Crown and root fracture
Without pulp exposure
Remove the fracture segment
Restoration
With pulp exposure
Remove the fractured segment
Endodontic treatment followed by
restoration
25. Root fracture
Primary dentition
Without mobility
Preserve and should exfoliate normally
With mobility or cervical third fracture
Should be removed without attempt to remove apical
fragment
26. Root fracture
Permanent dentition
Consider level of fracture
Endodontic
Endodontic and apicectomy
Endodontic, apicectomy and
restoration (post and core, crown and
implant)
27. Alveolar bone injuries
Reduction ---- Finger manipulation
Fixation ---- Dental occlusal splints /
Direct wiring / Arch bar
splinting / Plating/Acid etch composite
Immobilization --- 4 weeks
When alveolar bone component not present
2-3 weeks (Subluxation, displacement & avulsion)
30. Acute trauma of deciduous teeth
Intrusion ----
i) wait & observe if not disturbing
the permanent tooth bud
ii) extraction if possible risk of
damaging the permanent tooth bud
Extrusion --- Extraction
Subluxation --- Conservative ( soft diet)
Avulsion --- Do not attempt to reimplant
31. Immobilization period for
traumatized teeth
Root fracture
Middle and apical third 4 weeks
Cervical third 2 months
Avulsion
Immature
Extra alveolar time < 60 minutes; Flexible splint 2 weeks
Extra alveolar time > 60 minutes very poor prognosis
Mature
Extra alveolar time < 60 minutes 2 weeks
Extra alveolar time > 60 minutes 6 weeks
Luxation
Concussion Splint optional (10 days)
Subluxation Splint optional (10 days)
Extrusion Splint for 3 weeks
Lateral luxation Splint for 3-4 weeks
Intrusion; Immature 3 – 4 weeks
Intrusion; Mature 2 weeks
32. Post-operative Care
Antibiotics & Analgesics
Liquids followed by soft diet – 4 weeks
Nutritional supplements ( 2000 – 2200 Cal/day,
comprising proteins, fat and carbohydrates )
Maintenance of Oral hygiene
( antimicrobial mouthwashes e.g.0.2% Chlorhexidine )
Follow up every 3 months upto 1 year
33. Complications
Immediate ----- Bleeding (hematoma)
Swelling
Malocclusion
Late ---- Infection
Mal union
Non union
Root resorption (external / internal)
Root ankylosis
35. Resorption
Lower prevalence when the period of dryness less than or equal to 5
mins
Prevalence of resorption with no visible contamination
57.1%
Prevalence of resorption for contaminated tooth but washed clean
75%
Prevalence of resorption for contaminated tooth but rubbed clean
87.5%
Prevalence of resorption with visible contamination present
100%
36. Avulsion
Recommended guidelines:
Extra-alveolar time: within 30 mins
Storage media:
Hanks Balanced Salt solution>saline>saliva>milk
Root treatment:
Prereplantation treatment of root surface with
fluoride resists the resorption by forming
flouroapatite.
37. Pre-replantation Treatment
Presenting within 2 hours:
Closed Apex: HBSS for 30 minutes
Open Apex: HBSS for 30 minutes , 1mg/20ml
Doxycycline soltn. for 5 minutes
Presenting after 2 hours:,
Remove PDL by scraping or soaking in NaOCl for 30
minutes
Endodontic debridement, cleaning and shaping of the
canal in hand
Soak in citric acid soltn for 3minutes, 1% Stannous
Fluoride for 5 minutes and 1mg/20ml Doxycycline
soltn. for 5 minutes
Obturate with GP
38. Avulsion
Injured socket
Shouldn’t be debrided
Clot shouldn’t be disturbed
Gentle irrigation with saline
Immobilization period:
Splinting for 2-3 weeks
Endodontic treatment:
Tooth with open apex: no endodontic Rx
Tooth with closed apex: within 14 days with
calcium hydroxide upto 9-12 months
Periodic follow up with x rays, vitality tests and
color changes upto 2 years.
39. Emergency management outside surgery
Wash the tooth gently with water
Avoid touching root
Reimplant tooth immediately
Bite on a handkerchief to hold the tooth in
place
If unable to reimplant tooth, should put in the
saline / milk
40. Avulsion of teeth
Indicators of poor prognosis
Extra alveolar time > 60 minutes
Undesirable storage medium e.g. tap water
Improper handling of root surface
41. Prevention of dentoalveolar injuries
Educate and empower the dental team to
provide first aid care
Encourage the use of custom mouth guards
during contact sports
