Determining the incidence and causes of craniodental damage in wild carnivores is often constrained by limited access to specimens with associated ecological data, such as prey type abundance. We assessed dental condition cranial injuries lion, leopard, spotted hyena relation predator populations Zambia’s Luangwa Valley, where large are more abundant lion leopard numerous, Greater Kafue Ecosyst...

Introduction: Avulsion of permanent teeth is one the most serious dental injuries, prompt and correct emergency management essential to achieve best outcome after this injury.Objective: To analyze literature on avulsed teeth, particularly its prevalence, storage media, consequences treatment.Methodology: In order carry out review, an electronic search was necessary using PubMed Google Scholar w...

Maxillofacial trauma is the main cause of emergency admittance to dental clinics. Mental retardation and epileptic status are important factors in an increase in the risk of dental injuries. Tooth avulsion, which is the total displacement of a tooth out of its socket, is an infrequently observed entity. Maxillary central incisors are the most commonly affected teeth. The case of a patient with ...

SUMMARY Although dental injuries are common occurrences at swimming pools, there are very few publications about them. The purpose of this study was to interview pool attendants at public swimming pools/bathing resorts in Switzerland on lip and dental injuries in 2007. The questions focussed on their knowledge of first aid, the frequency and accident site of lip and tooth trauma, as well as the...

Whenever the tooth dentin-pulp complex is affected by caries, attrition, erosion, chemicals and abrasion, pulpal response to these injuries can stimulate inflammatory activity. Although the pulp injury caused by these irritants can be important, in many cases the most severe tissue trauma is not a direct result of these environmental or accidental events, instead, it results from the surgical t...

CONTEXT Orofacial and dental trauma continues to be a commonly encountered issue for the sports medicine team. All sports have some risk for dental injury, but "contact sports" presumably incur more risk. Immediate evaluation and proper management of the most common injuries to dentition can result in saving or restoration of tooth structure. Despite the growing body of evidence, mouth guard us...

Avulsion injuries deal with exarticulation or total luxation of the tooth out of its socket as a result of a blunt impact on the tooth due to contact sports, road accidents or fights which leads to severance of the neurovascular pulpal supply, separation of the PDL and exposure of the root surface (oral/extra-oral environment contaminated with microorganisms) [1,2]. The success of a replanted t...

Introduction: Children generally suffer from dental traumas to their primary teeth. Traumas may lead to complications, depending on the site and potency of the injuries. The acute dental abscess usually occurs secondary to dental caries or dental trauma. The necrotic pulp tissue becomes colonized by a specialized mixed anaerobic biofilm. Case Presentation: A 5-year-old boy referred to clinic (G...

AIM Dental injuries, especially luxation and avulsion, are common. Dental trauma can cause alveolar bone fracture that can lead to tooth loss and malocclusion. Single tooth alveolar bone fractures are difficult to identify unless it protrudes through the overlying mucosa and can be visualized. Pain, malocclusion, and tooth mobility provide signs of suspected alveolar bone fractures. Integrity o...
