PEDO Competency Flashcards
are generally associated with
recent bruising

Class III Fractures Emergency Treatment Primary teeth
options
• Partial pulpotomy in immature incisor
– Ram D, Holan G. Partial pulpotomy in a
traumatized primary incisor with pulp exposure. Pediatr Dent 16:44-48, 1994
dentition. Dent Traumatol 18:287-298, 2002 deflections of succeeding permanent incisors
• Pulpotomy when no resorption has begun
– Flores M. Traumatic injuries in the primary • Pulpectomy with resorbable paste – 20%
– Coll et al. 1996, Flaitz et al. 1989 • Extraction
Injuries to Developing Teeth are greatest at what age
1-3
Intrusion Emergency Treatment Permanent teeth Closed apex, up to 3 mm
spontaneous
eruption
contraindications to LLHA
– Permanent incisors unerupted
Class III Fractures Emergency Treatment Primary teeth
often depends on what
pt’s behavior
• An injury to the tooth- supporting structures with abnormal loosening, but without displacement of the tooth
Subluxation
Intrusion Emergency Treatment Permanent teeth
• Open apex, up to 7 mm:
spontaneous
eruption
– loss of primary second molar before eruption
of permanent first molar
what space maintainer
distal shoe
are generally associated
with older healing bruising
Yellow/brown and green
Lateral Luxation Emergency Treatment Permanent teeth
- Reposition with digital pressure
- Flexible splint for 4 weeks
- Rx chlorhexidine mouth rinse
Extrusion Emergency Treatment Permanent teeth
- Reposition with digital pressure
- Flexible splint for 2 weeks
- Rx chlorhexidine mouth rinse
Intrusion Emergency Treatment Permanent teeth Closed apex, 3-7 mm
orthodontic or surgical
repositioning
Home Care
for splinted teeth
• NO BITING on splinted teeth! • Soft diet • Good oral hygiene
Premature loss in the primary dentition
generally leads to what
delays eruption of the successor
Lateral Luxation Emergency Treatment Primary teeth
Retrusion
– if no occlusal interference, then allow
spontaneous repositioning
– with occlusal interference, must be
repositioned (but do not splint) or extracted
Craniofacial, head, face, neck injuries in
more than in childabuse
more than half
goal of the cvek partial pulpopotmy is to what
maintain tooth vitality. take a PA to see if the root is still growing
Intrusion Emergency Treatment Primary teeth
• If tooth was displaced labially (toward or
through labial bone plate), then allow
spontaneous re-eruption
• If tooth displaced into developing tooth
bud, then extract
Avulsion Follow-Up Permanent Teeth
Pulpectomy: remove pulp and fill with CaOH within 7-14 days • Complete gutta percha fill in 2-12 months – No need to complete endo if it becomes ankylosed
Nance & TPA
are indicated when
– Bilateral tooth loss in maxilla
– edentulous span more than one tooth in maxilla
• A complete
displacement
of the tooth out
of its socket
Avulsion
contraindications for space maintenance for using band and loop
Edentulous space is more than one tooth
• A displacement of the tooth in a direction other than axially • This is accompanied by comminution or fracture of the alveolar socket
Lateral Luxation
Class III Fractures Emergency Treatment Permanent teeth
Mature tooth with closed apex
– Pulpectomy
what is different about the IAN block in a child
The mandibular foramen is situated slightly lower and more posterior in a child. Lower than the level of the occlusal plane.
Subluxation Follow-Up
- Follow-up in 2 weeks
* Radiograph in 1 month
Class II Fractures Emergency Treatment Primary teeth
• Do nothing?
• Composite/GI “Band-Aid”
– then monitor for symptoms
• Restore with composite/GI?
Emergency Treatment Primary teeth
Severe
– Extract
name the diagnosis
– capable of healing and therapy
Reversible pulpitis
are the most common type of injury
in abused and non-abused children
Bruises
Youngest children most vulnerable
• 70% that die from abuse are under
4
Extrusion Follow-Up Permanent teeth
• Pulpectomy: remove pulp and fill with
CaOH within 7-14 days • Complete gutta percha fill in 2 months if no
inflammatory resorption
three pulpotomy medicaments
- Formocresol
- Ferric Sulfate
- Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA)
is someone required by law to report if they suspect or know that child abuse if occurring.
mandated reporter
Considerations in the
Mixed Dentition
• Regarding loss of primary first molars
Regarding loss of primary first molars:
– Space loss is negligible if the permanent first
molars are erupted and in occlusion and primary second molars remain
– Space maintenance is unnecessary
Concussion Emergency Treatment Primary teeth
- No emergency treatment
- Discuss potential sequelae with parents
- Monitor for symptoms
