Avulsion in Primary Teeth: First-Aid guidance for Avulsed teeth - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Avulsion is the most uncommon type of traumatic injury in the oral cavity.From a clinical perspective, since avulsions occur infrequently, the average practitioner will not instinctively know how best to treat each (rare) case that he/she encounters. Since most avulsions occur before the patient’s facial growth is complete it is critical to maintain the tooth and surrounding bone until facial growth is complete and a relatively uncomplicated ‘permanent’ restoration can be made. Therefore, while definitely the ultimate aim, success does not necessarily require that the tooth is healthy and functioning for the entire life of the patient. Therefore maintaining the tooth and surrounding bone for a few years can be considered a successful treatment in the growing patient. This book presents clinical protocols for the emergency, early and post treatment complications of the avulsed tooth. The biological basis for these protocols is presented so that the reader understands the clinical decisions that have been made.
