rigid = 2 teeth either side flexible = 1 tooth either side
alternative treatment for temporary splint
foil + ZOE
vacuum formed splint - terrible for OH

immediate intervention to avulsed tooth
- do not touch root
- rinse for 10 secs in cold water
- reinsert if you can
- store in saliva or cold milk
- use gauze to stop bleeding
- get emergency appointment
deciduous tooth eruption sequence
in sequence with exception of canines i.e. centrals, laterals, first primary molars canines, second primary molars.
1 2 4 3 5
lowers erupt before uppers with exception of lateral incisors
what is leeway space
extra mesiodistal space occupied by primary molars which are wider than the premolars that replace them
- 5mm per side in maxilla
- 5mm per side mandible
deciduous vs permanent pulp
deciduous pulp horns are larger in proportion to crown that surrounds them and pulp horns extend higher occlusally
narrower, more slender, and flare apically best describes primary or permanent roots
