Details

Description:

The prevalence of dental injuries has been shown to occur in approximately 10-50% of children between the ages of 7 to 12 years world-wide. These injuries occur primarily in the anterior region of the mouth. Maintenance of the vital pulp and an intact periodontal ligament following trauma are critically important for these young patients as tooth loss can result in devastating and long-term clinical, social and psychological repercussions. The management and consequences of luxation injuries are multi-factorial, and knowledge of the inter-relating healing patterns of these tissues is essential. Ankylosis and replacement resorption are frequently diagnosed following avulsion and severe intrusive luxation. The treatment of ankylosed permanent incisors following dental trauma present a clinical challenge particularly when it involves a growing child due to the high risk of infra-position and under-development of the alveolar bone. New approaches for the treatment of ankylosed teeth, including decoronation
and bone augmentation for the preservation of alveolar ridge prior to permanent prosthetic reconstruction will be presented.


Course Outline

This presentation will review the following events that may occur after dento-alveolar trauma:

  1. Pulpal responses: survival, canal obliteration, revascularization, necrosis, infection.
  2. PDL responses: repair-related resorption, infection-related resorption, ankylosis-related resorption, periodontal attachment loss.
  3. Prediction of complications (pulp necrosis and resorption).
  4. Long-term tooth survival.

Objectives

Upon completion of this course the participants should be able to:

  1. Diagnose and differentiate the different types of traumatic injuries.
  2. Develop a comprehensive approach for the treatment of traumatically injured teeth and associated complications.
  3. Understand the etiology, diagnosis and differentiation of root resorption lesions.
  4. Understand when endodontic treatment is necessary and its timing.
