Part of the UT Health San Antonio.
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.
It is the policy of the UT Health San Antonio Office of Continuing Dental Education to ensure balance, independence, objectivity and scientific rigor in all of its sponsored educational activities. All participating speakers, course directors, and planning committee members are required to disclose to the program audience any financial relationships related to the subject matter of this program. Relationships of spouse/partner with proprietary entities producing health care goods or services should be disclosed if they are of a nature that may influence the objectivity of the individual in a position to control the content of the CDE activity. Disclosure information is reviewed in advance in order to manage and resolve any possible conflicts of interest. Specific disclosure information for each speaker, course director, and planning committee member will be shared with the audience prior to the speaker’s presentation.
Continuing Dental Education Staff members have nothing to disclose.
