1. Trauma in the Primary Dentition
2. Epidemiology(Permanent) Boys > Girls
9-11 year olds
Maxillary central incisors
Class I fractures
Patients with increased overjet
3. Epidemiology(Primary) Incidence - up to 30%
Location - anterior teeth
71% maxillary central incisors
Sex predilection - varies according to author and age.
4. Incidence in Sports Soccer players are at increased risk of an orofacial injury than football players
5. Incidence in Sports Basketball players’ risk is double that of a football player
Due to faceguards and mouth protectors that are mandatory in football.

15. Domestic Violence? 23% of patients with HNF injuries were victims of DV
94.4% of victimes of domestic violence had HNF injuries
Patients with HNF injuries were 11.8 times more likely to be victims of DV
Caution: preliminary study, small sample size; age 15 and older.
16. Medical History Take a full medical history
Pay particular attention to:
drug sensitivities
congenital or acquired cardiac problems
coagulation disorders
Determine tetanus coverage
17. Neurological Assessment Obtain information re: loss of consciousness, neck or head pain, and numbness
Ask about the event…. amnesia?
Other signs: nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, blurred vision
18. WHEN IN DOUBT… REFER TO ER!!!
19. Tetanus Coverage Uncovered children - antitoxin (tetanus immune human globulin)
Children with previous but dated coverage - toxoid booster
Active immunization
3 injections of DPT during 1st year
booster at 1 1/2 and 3 years
booster at 6 YOA and every 4-5 years
20. Reaction of the Tooth to Trauma Pulpal hyperemia
Internal hemorrhage
Calcific metamorphosis
Internal resorption
Peripheral root resorption
Pulpal necrosis
Ankylosis
21. Pulpal Hyperemia May lead to infarction and necrosis
22. Internal Hemorrhage Capillary rupture due to increased pressure
Within 2-3 weeks
23. Internal Resorption Due to osteoclastic action
Institute endodontic tx. immediately
"Pink spot" perforation may occur
24. Calcific Metamorphosis
25. Calcific Metamorphosis
26. Calcific Metamorphosis
27. Peripheral Root Resorption Due to damage of peridontal structures
Usually in severe injuries with displacement of the tooth
Types
surface - normal PDL, small areas
replacement - ankylosis
inflammatory - granulation tissue, radiolucency
28. Pulpal necrosis Due to severing of apical vessels or prolonged hyeremia and strangulation
May not occur for several months
29. Ankylosis PDL injury > inflammation > osteoclastic activity > fusion between bone and root surface
30. Reaction of the Permanent Tooth Buds Hypocalcification/hypoplasia (Turner's tooth - due to trauma, infection, or both)
Reparative dentin
Dilaceration
Sequelae of chronic infection
31. Position of Primary Teeth
32. Dilaceration/Turner’s Tooth
33. Dilaceration
34. Focal Hypoplasia & Hypocalcification
36. Dental History How?
When?
Where?
Was there a previous injury to area?
Was there previous treatment to area?
Unconsciousness, headache, amnesia, nausia?
Bite disturbance?
37. Soft Tissue Injuries Examine lacerations and contusions of the face, lips, and gingivae
Remove any tooth fragments or debris embedded in the tissue
Gently cleanse the area to aid in visual examination (topical anesthetic, soaked gauze sponges)
Develop treatment plan
38. Hard Tissue Injuries Examine teeth and alveolar process
Note extent of crown fracture, if any
Check for displaced or avused teeth
Note amount of mobility
Check for pulp exposures
Examine adjacent/opposing teeth for injury
39. Radiographic Examination X-ray injured tooth, adjacent teeth, and opposing teeth
Evaluate proximity of fracture to pulp
Estimate root development
Look for root and alveolar fractures
Note any periapical pathology
Note previous treatment
40. Other Diagnostic Tests Wait at leat 2 weeks
Electrical and thermal tests may be unreliable in primary teeth
If a tooth is incompletely erupted or is being orthodontically treated, the tooth may be normal even if there is little sensitivity to EPT - 20% of normals with 3/4 erupted teeth show no response to vitalometer
41. Class I Primary (enamel fracture) Smooth enamel
Check vitality in 6-8 weeks
42. Class II Primary (dentin involved) Dycal
Restore
Check in 6-8 weeks
43. Class III Primary (pulp involved) Formocresol pulpotomy, at least
Restore
Check in 6-8 weeks
44. Class IV Primary (pulp necrotic) Formocresol pulpectomy, in absence of significant internal or external root resorption
Extraction +/- space maintainer if endodontic treatment not possible
45. Extraction and Space Maintainer
46. Extraction and Space Maintainer
47. Extraction and Space Maintainer
48. Class V Primary (avulsion) Poor prognosis
If within 30 minutes, replant, splint if necessary, soft diet, follow with primary endodontic treatment
Space maintainer if endodontic treatment not possible
49. Cleaning an Avulsed tooth Saline to remove foreign bodies and bacteria
Flush alveolus with saline to remove coagulum; failure to do this increases chance of ankylosis
Avoid scraping the root surface; this removes periodontal fibers and denudes the cementum
50. What to Tell Parents Clean tooth under tap water
Replant and maintain pressure for 5-10 minutes
Bring child to office immediately
If parent can't replant, put tooth into a cup of milk
51. Replantation "Periodontal Healing of Replanted Dog Teeth Stored in Viaspan, Milk, and Hank's Balanced Salt Solution" Trope, Endod Dent Traumatol, Jan-Feb, 1993.
Viaspan (a storage media used in organ transplants) and HBSS proved superior to milk for long term storage (>6 hrs) of avulsed teeth.
52. Splinting .030 Stainless steel wire + Composite (old)
.0175 Twist (Wildcat) + Composite
Composite alone
Avulsion: 7 days
Root fractures: 1-3 months
53. Splinting (not good.)
54. Splinting
55. Class VI Primary (root fracture) Extraction is almost always the treatment of choice
56. Class VII Primary (displacement) Labial, lingual, extrusion - reposition tooth, compress alveolar bone, stabilize if necessary, check periodically
Intruded primary tooth
allow 2-4 months for eruption
if ankylosis occurs, may luxate and check in 1 month, or remove
57. Intrusion, Primary Teeth
58. Lateral Luxation
59. Lateral Luxation
60. Lateral Luxation
61. Class VIII Primary - Coronal/Root Fracture Extraction is usually the only option
62. Class VIII Primary - Coronal/Root Fracture Radiograph day of trauma
63. Class VIII Primary - Coronal/Root Fracture
64. Class VIII Primary - Coronal/Root Fracture Radiograph one month later
65. Class VIII Primary - Coronal/Root Fracture Tooth following extraction
