    Abstract:
    For the sake of very young patients and the processes of growth and development of the masticatory system they undergo, mechanical traumas of deciduous teeth require immediate treatment. The choice of treatment method of the deciduous dentition traumas depends on a type of sustained injury, the developmental stage of deciduous teeth and first of all on a child's ability to cooperate. The primary objective of the therapeutic management is to retain the physiological function of an injured tooth and to protect the regular development of a permanent tooth bud. Considering the impact of a suffered injury on the developing stomatognathic system, children should be given medical check-ups and be under the observation, even after the completed treatment of deciduous tooth post-traumatic state. It is also necessary to raise among parents pro-healthcare awareness of the necessity to report a child to immediate medical treatment. This would reduce the number of subsequent complications occurring in the secondary dentition after the injuries suffered in childhood.
