Trauma in Dentistry

From Dentistry Made Simple Dentistry Made Simple

A comprehensive overview of traumatic injuries in the oral and maxillofacial regions, covering diagnosis, treatment, and biological repair mechanisms. They provide detailed classifications of dental trauma according to the World Health Organization (WHO), addressing injuries to hard tissues (like crown fractures) and periodontal tissues (such as luxation and avulsion), often seen in children and young adults. Several chapters explore the use of dental implants for post-trauma reconstruction, emphasizing the need to postpone placement in growing patients and manage bone volume deficiencies. Furthermore, the texts examine reconstructive and regenerative strategies, including the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and various bone grafting materials to promote bone healing and tissue repair. Finally, there is a focus on oral mucosal trauma, categorizing injuries resulting from physical, chemical, thermal, and electrical causes, along with their respective clinical features and management protocols.
