OVERVIEW
Dental trauma is part of the General and Pediatric Dentistry practice.
Current research has led to a better understanding of the healing mechanisms
that translate into better clinical protocols for the management of
trauma. The course will start with an introduction to trauma and
the evaluation of the patient with trauma. Then, a review of the
classification,
diagnosis and treatment of traumatic lesions is presented. Finally,
several clinical cases will be presented and discussed.
A review of the current guidelines (from the American Academy of Endodontics,
the International Association of Dental Traumatology and the American
Academy of Pediatric Dentistry) for the management of dental trauma
in the primary and permanent dentition will be presented. Easy-to-use
decision analysis and protocols for the emergency treatment as well
as follow-up and referral needs will also be discussed.
OBJECTIVES
Present a systematic way of gathering trauma history.
Review the classification of traumatic dental injuries.
Discuss the diagnosis, emergency treatment and follow-up in primary
tooth trauma according to type of injury. Discuss the diagnosis, emergency
treatment and follow-up in permanent tooth
trauma according to type of injury. Present clinical cases of primary
and permanent tooth trauma.
