  • Title: Distant consequences of traumatic injuries to deciduous teeth--a case report.
    Author: Mielnik-Błaszczak M, Puławska J, Tomankiewicz M.
    Journal: Ann Univ Mariae Curie Sklodowska Med; 2004; 59(1):76-9. PubMed ID: 16145959.
    Abstract:
    The ever increasing number of injuries to deciduous teeth in children constitutes a serious problem in paedodontics. Among many factors that facilitate tooth injuries are malocclusions, and most specifically protrusions of upper incisors of Class II/1 according to Angle. This is a case report of a 6-year-old girl with irregularities of upper permanent incisors due to traumatic injuries to deciduous teeth. In view of the ongoing child development processes, medical check-ups following injuries to deciduous teeth should be undertaken once every two or three months. Since such injuries have an impact on the development of the masticatory organ, children should undergo medical inspection and observation immediately upon the completion of relevant post-trauma treatment.
