  • Title: Dental and Dentoalveolar Injuries in the Pediatric Patient.
    Author: Susarla HK, Sheller B.
    Journal: Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am; 2023 Nov; 35(4):543-554. PubMed ID: 37640587.
    Abstract:
    Dental and dentoalveolar injuries are common in the pediatric population. Management is predicated on the type of tooth injured (primary or permanent), extent of injury, the dental and behavioral age of the patient, and ability of the patient to tolerate treatment. Although many dental injuries occur in isolation, a systematic evaluation of the patient is mandatory to confirm the absence of basal bone fractures of the maxilla or mandible, traumatic brain injury, cervical spine injury, and/or facial soft tissue injury. Long-term follow-up is paramount to achieving a functional occlusion and optimal dental health following injury.
