Abstract

Anne Lorusso

Dental trauma is an injury related to the mouth also including teeth, lips, tongue, gums, jawbones and the most common dental trauma is a broken or lost tooth. Traumatic dental injuries mainly occur due to falls, sports injuries, and accidents, the majority of these injuries are minor. It is quite common to remove your tooth or unpick completely out, but the treatment for these kinds of injuries depends on the area, severity, and type of each injury. Sometimes, the adjoining teeth of an individual suffer an unnoticed and additional injury that can only be recognized by an intensive dental test. Dental experts who are treating traumatic dental injury, with their advanced methods and skills often can save harmed teeth. Dislodged primary teeth in children with a very rare case can be repositioned and the chipped primary teeth in children can be restored, but these knocked teeth will be replaced because it might further cause permanent damage to the underlying longlasting tooth which is growing inside the bone. Permanent teeth of a child which are not fully developed at the time of injury must need some special care and root canal treatment, but in some cases, not all of them should need root canal treatment. If any individual having a fractured tooth, either it can be repaired by reattaching the broken piece or by placing it with tooth-colored filling at that particular place.
