The treatment of a traumatic fracture of a maxillary central incisor in the pediatric patient. A case report.

Of great concern to the general practitioner is the treatment of a pediatric dental emergency. This becomes acutely important when a permanent tooth is involved. Traumatic injuries to anterior permanent teeth are most frequently sustained by children. This is due to both behavioral and anatomic reasons. Dental malocclusions due to parafunctional habits often cause anterior maxillary teeth to become displaced labially, predisposing these teeth to severe injury upon traumatic insult. The dentist must be aware of the treatment modalities at his/her disposal when faced with these emergencies and recognize which is best for that situation.

Treatment of a traumatic tooth avulsion.

The traumatic avulsion of a tooth presents unique and challenging difficulties in patient management. The successful replantation of the avulsed tooth is influenced by many factors occurring from the moment of injury to the moment of replantation. Immediate and decisive treatment is essential in this time period to avoid subsequent inflammatory root resorption and ankylosis.
