62
Child avulsed tooth , mom calls , what immediate advice would you give mom to do?
* Ensure it is a permanent tooth * Hold by crown * tell mom to replant immediately, if tooth is dirty rinse in milk, saline or saliva * tell to bite on gauze to secure * Seek immediate dental advice
63
If immediate replant not possible , in what storage medium will you tell the mom to place the tooth into? in order give 5
Milk HBSS Saliva Saline Water
64
2 management factors of avulsion?
* Maturity of root * PDL cell condition
65
Management of replanted avulsed tooth with closed apex ?
* Clean injured area * radiographic and clinical assessment of apex and tooth position * Splint * Suture gingival lacerations if present * Consider Abs * Provide post-op advice
66
What does EADT less than 60 mins indicate?
PDL cells may be viable but compromised
67

* 2 weeks * 4 weeks * 3 months * 6 months * 1 year
72
How to manage avulsed tooth with open apex ?
* same as closed apex but use EAT instead of EADT * Vascularisation may occur meaning endo treatment may not be required
73
When would replantation not be indicated? (4)
* child immunocompromised * other serious injuries * Very immature apex and extended EAT * very immature lower incisors and uncooperative
74
What is the difference between EAT and EADT?
while EAT measures the total time a tooth is out of its socket, EADT specifically measures the time it has been out and not kept moist. Both are important for the prognosis of avulsed teeth, with shorter times being more favorable for successful reimplantation and healing.
