Avulsion Injuries: Assessment and Management
Prim Dent J. 2023 Dec;12(4):57-63. doi: 10.1177/20501684231210910.ABSTRACTAvulsion injuries, though relatively uncommon, are one of the most serious of dentoalveolar injuries. Replantation at the scene of the incident is almost always the treatment of choice whenever possible. This paper outlines a step-by-step approach for the management of avulsion injuries, including a splinting protocol. This aims to support general dental practitioners in feeling more confident with managing these injuries.PMID:38018678 | DOI:10.1177/20501684231210910 (Source: Primary dental care : journal of the Faculty of General Dental Practitioners UK)

A review of the iadt 2020 guidelines
Prim Dent J. 2023 Dec;12(4):22-27. doi: 10.1177/20501684231210394.ABSTRACTTraumatic dental injuries (TDIs) are a relatively frequent occurrence, with roughly a third of adults experiencing a dental trauma at some time in their life.1 TDIs may present to dental professionals working within primary or secondary care settings. Patients presenting at the time of acute injury will require immediate management and careful long term follow up. Patients may also present later reporting a history of TDI, with developing complications and onward management required. To support dental care professionals, the International Association...

Displacement Injuries: Assessment and Management
Prim Dent J. 2023 Dec;12(4):47-56. doi: 10.1177/20501684231213770.ABSTRACTThis paper aims to aid clinicians in the assessment and immediate management of dental trauma displacement injuries to permanent teeth. Long term sequelae, the impact of such injuries, and the evidence-base for managing these are discussed.Clinical cases are provided to illustrate management challenges and highlight where further evidence-based guidance is needed. The role of the general dental practitioner in the immediate management and follow-up of traumatic dental injuries is outlined and sequelae, worthy of potential referral, described.PMID:380...

Dental trauma: assessment and acute management of fractures
Prim Dent J. 2023 Dec;12(4):36-46. doi: 10.1177/20501684231212376.ABSTRACTAcute dental trauma is unscheduled and presents infrequently to the majority of practitioners. Therefore, a consistent, logical and systematic process for examination, prioritisation and management is imperative for all sustained injuries to have an optimal outcome. Fractures are a frequent sequela to dental trauma and can involve any aspect of the tooth structure or supporting alveolar bone. While some minor crown fractures may initially seem inconsequential, they may be a subtle indication to a more serious underlying root fracture. Concomitant inj...

Prevention of Dental trauma
This article aims to review dental trauma highlighting the significance of identification of clinical and social risk factors and prevention of TDIs. These risk factors are further divided into modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors which can guide the clinician on what further action is required and when other members of the dental or medical team should be involved. The importance of patient education in prevention of TDIs, including use of mouthguards in sport, and mouthguard design will be discussed.PMID:38018671 | DOI:10.1177/20501684231210090 (Source: Primary dental care : journal of the Faculty of General Dental Practitioners UK)

The consequences of Dental trauma
Prim Dent J. 2023 Dec;12(4):72-82. doi: 10.1177/20501684231213908.ABSTRACTTraumatic dental injuries pose a variety of complex ongoing issues to the dental practitioner. As dental injuries are commonly experienced at a young age, the treatment often takes place during adolescence or early in adulthood years at crucial development stages and very early in the life of the permanent successor. Therefore, the ability to correctly diagnose the injury, and follow an appropriate management plan should increase practitioners' ability to improve both the outcomes of dental trauma and long-term prognosis of the tooth.The consequences...

Special considerations in paediatric dental trauma
Prim Dent J. 2023 Dec;12(4):64-71. doi: 10.1177/20501684231211413.ABSTRACTTraumatic dental injuries (TDIs) in the paediatric population are common and frequently seen in general dental practice. The management of TDIs can be challenging and, in most cases, the General Dental Practitioner is tasked with the initial assessment and emergency treatment. Patients and their families typically attend with elevated levels of distress, which is complicated by the limited dental experience of some children. Behaviour management is essential and helps prepare patients for dental care at both their emergency and follow-up appointments...
