Management of tooth avulsion in the school setting.
Tooth avulsion is a widespread problem for school nurses and school health care personnel. Over two million teeth are avulsed every year in the United States, often during school activities. Almost all avulsed teeth can be saved if stored properly and then replanted by a dentist. All of the known methods and devices for the storage, preservation, and transportation of avulsed teeth are reviewed in this article. Based on this review, specific recommendations are made to the school nurse for saving avulsed teeth.
Management of an avulsed tooth with severe root resorption.
Delayed replantation of an avulsed tooth with an open apex resulted in failure of revascularization, necrosis of the pulp and extensive external root resorption. Removal of the necrotic pulp and repeated intra-canal dressings of calcium hydroxide over a three year period arrested the inflammatory resorptive process. The process was replaced by replacement resorption leading to ankylosis and infra-occlusion of the affected tooth. As the tooth was asymptomatic, it was retained in the arch to act as a space maintainer. To improve aesthetics, the crown was recontoured using a light-cured resin.
Reimplantation of an avulsed tooth after prolonged storage.
This report demonstrates that if an intact avulsed tooth is retrieved, stored carefully and treated, it can be re-implanted successfully, even after more than 42 hours outside the alveolus. The tooth can regain its position as a stable member of the arch, and its osseous and gingival complex can be restored.
Tooth avulsions resulting from basketball net entanglement.
The authors conducted a survey of dentists reporting tooth avulsions from basketball net accidents. Although the number of people injured was small, the dental injuries were serious. In many cases, multiple teeth were avulsed as a result of the maxillary anterior teeth becoming entangled in the basketball net while the patients were attempting to slamdunk a basketball either on a lowered backboard or from a raised take-off area. The authors present recommendations for preventing tooth avulsions resulting from basketball net entanglement.
Clinical evidence and literature to compare two different therapeutic protocols in tooth avulsion.
AIM: This is to assess the priority in tooth avulsion: replantation as quickly as possible and deferred endodontic treatment, or replantation and elimination of every irritating stimulus for the periodontal ligament. The objective is to establish a univocal protocol by analysing and comparing the various components of these therapeutic procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS STUDY DESIGN: 20 patients were selected and divided into 2 groups: in group A we focused our attention on the rapidity of replantation, in group B we focused on the elimination of the necrotic pulp and every possible irritating stimulus that might lead to root resorption of inflammatory nature. RESULTS: Clinically, dental mobility seems to be greater in the first group. However after 15 days teeth have a comparable mobility and after one month they all show a mobility degree 1. Radiographically a greater incidence of resorption can be observed in group A compared to group B as in the first one a higher number of replanted teeth undergo resorption. Such lesions have the tendency to remain constant or even increase. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study seem to take only one direction: extraoral endodontic therapy.
Endodontic management of the avulsed tooth and tooth transplantation.
The major causes of post-transplantation tooth loss following tooth replacement after avulsion (exarticulation) and surgical replacement of impacted maxillary canines (auto-transplantation) are inflammatory root resorption and replacement resorption (ankylosis). This paper attempts to outline the treatment and management of replanted teeth using the current philosophies of splinting, endodontic therapy and the use of calcium hydroxide in the re-attachment of the periodontal ligament (PDL). Clinical research during the past 20 years has provided sufficient information for the development and establishment of a rational and effective program of treatment.
Clinical management of the avulsed tooth: present strategies and future directions.
The aim of this review article is to supplement the recently published International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT) guidelines on treatment of the avulsed tooth. A thorough discussion on the reasoning behind each guideline is presented. In addition, the author's views on alternate treatment strategies and future directions, along with recent research on the subject of the avulsed tooth, are also presented.
