  • Title: Trauma involving the dentition and supporting tissues.
    Author: Newton CW.
    Journal: Curr Opin Dent; 1992 Jun; 2():108-14. PubMed ID: 1355674.
    Abstract:
    Successful treatment of traumatic injuries depends on timely action by the patient and a quick and accurate diagnosis by the dentist. Although most injuries are minor and of an urgent nature, displaced or missing teeth are true emergencies. The mismanagement of dental traumatic injuries has provided much information as well as questions for research that have resulted in the increased retention of teeth with as little treatment as possible. Maintaining pulp vitality when possible, utilizing the therapeutic effects of calcium hydroxide, and returning teeth to function as soon as possible are keys to predictable prognosis.
