AIM This paper reports the results of a fifteen-year study carried out at the Dentoalveolar trauma study Centre of the University of Cagliari Dental Department, on treatment modes utilised for the recovery of periodontal injuries in primary dentition. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data referred to dental injuries were collected and recorded according to Andreasen's dental trauma classification: c...

AIMS The aims of the study were: to assess the prevalence of traumatic injuries to the teeth of 4- to 6-year-old children living in Gulbarga City, India, to determine prevalence of such dental traumatic injuries at the ages of 4, 5, and 6 years and to compare the prevalence of these injuries between male and female children. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was performed. It consisted of a cl...

Tooth resorption is a common sequel which follows injuries or irritation to the periodontal ligament and/or tooth pulp. The course of tooth resorption involves an elaborate interaction among inflammatory cells, resorbing cells, and hard tissue structures. The key cells which are involved in resorption are multi-nucleated giant cells. Internal root resorptions are usually non-symptomatic and the...

Tooth fractures are often reported as emergencies in dental practice. Coronal of the anterior teeth a prevalent cause trauma children and teenagers. It's tragic situation that necessitates prompt care quick functional esthetic repair. The clinician's main difficulty when dealing with these types injuries is to re-establish natural esthetics traumatized tooth. There several therapeutic options f...

severe traumatic injuries to immature teeth often cause damage to periodontal ligament as well as dental pulp; pulp necrosis, root resorption and subsequent apical lesion are common consequences. this article reports the surgical management of an infected immature maxillary central incisor associated with a gigantic periradicular lesion and severe root resorption. the tooth had a history of tra...

ackground and aim: It is important to evaluate the effect of the type of filling material on deformation and strength of tooth after filling and also the effect of filling depth on quality of restoration of a decayed tooth. Material and Methods: The Orthopantomogram (OPG) of the first and second molars of a 28-year-old man was made and the teeth were 3D modeled. The stress-deformation analysis ...

External inflammatory resorption and replacement resorption are complicating factors that may result from traumatic dental injuries when the tooth is luxated or avulsed and replanted. Resorption may, ultimately, result in loss of the tooth. However, with appropriate treatment, the prognosis for these teeth is greatly improved, with the possibility of preventing or arresting resorption. The purp...

Traumatic injuries commonly affect the anterior teeth leading to slow death of the pulp. This may give rise to a periapical or radicular cyst which results from the proliferation of cell rests of Malassez following pulpal necrosis of a nonvital tooth. This condition is usually asymptomatic but can result in a slow-growth tumefaction in the affected region. On radiography the lesion can be seen ...

AIM OF THE STUDY Traumatic dental injuries including avulsed tooth is a tragic and ignored problem among school children. As children spend much of their time in schools, school teachers form the group who commonly supervise the physical activity of the children, so awareness about avulsed tooth emergency management among school teachers is an important concept for long-term success and to prev...

Background: The prognosis of traumatized tooth often depends on the prompt and appropriate treatment, which often relies on the people who are present at the site. Often these injuries occur in school environment and, therefore, the perception of school teacher towards these is crucial to prognosis. Method: A total of 131 teachers from different schools of Durg district, Chhattisgarh providing ...
