trauma Flashcards
crown infarction
incomplete fracture of the enamel without loss of tooth structure
complicated crown fractur
INVOLVES PULP
Ellis class I
only in enamel
ellis class II
enamel and dentin fracture
ellis class III
pulpy pulp
root fractures
involve cementum, dentin and pulp
ellis class VI
apparently your whole root breaks like horizontally
concussion
injury to tooth supporting structures WITH NO ABNORMAL LOOSENING, tooth is tender to percussion
subluxation
injury to tooth supporting structures WITH LOOSENING but NO clinical or radiographic evidence of displacement
intrusive luxation
displacement of tooth deeper into alveolar bone, communition/fracture of alveolar bone
extrusive luxation
partial displacement of tooth out of socket
lateral luxation
displacement in a direction other than axially, fracture of socket
exarticulations
complete avulsion (totally displaced out of socket)
communition of alveolar socket
cracked of socket, associated with intrusive or lateral luxation
a fracture of the alveolar socket wall is confined to…
facial or lingual socket wall
laceration
shallow or deep wound in mucosa resulting form a tear
contusion
bruise, usually not accompanied with a break in mucosa
abrasion
superficial wound produced by rubbing or scraping and leaving a raw, bleeding surface
what percentage of battered children/spouse get facial injuries
50%
predisposing factors to dental trauama
increased overate with protrusion and insufficient closure
tooth injuries TWICE as frequentt in children with protrusive incisors
prevalence of dental trauma
4-14% (probably higher)
are boys or girls more affected by dental truama
boys
what tooth most commonly gets fucked up
anterior teeth, usually single tooth
what type of injury do primary teeth usually get
luxation and/or avulsion
what type of injury do permanent teeth usually get
crown fractures
what questions to ask when a pt comes in
when? (affects prognosis, tx plan)
where? (tetanus booster, abtcs?)
how? (type of injury)
pain (past, present, duration, type, location)
previous oral injuries (could be a neurologic cause)
objective info to gather when pt comes in
extraoral wounds? palpate facial bones for fracture intraoral soft tissue--check for tooth fragments/FB crown fracture? displaced or missing teeth? abnormal occlusion? mobililty? percussion? vitality tests? intraoral photos
PA radiographs
take form multiple angles to determine fracture!
tx of uncomplicated crown fracture (no dentin)
no treatment, smooth rough edges or repair
tx of uncomplicated crown fracture (dentin involved)
decal or GI cement covered with composite resin or temporary crown
prognosis for uncomplicated crown fracture with dentin exposed
5-13% incidence of pulp necrosis, better for younger teeth!
treatment options for complicated crown fracture
pulp capping with CAOH, MTA, bioceramics
partial pulpectomy
pulpotomy/ RCT
what impacts the treatment plan for complicated crown fracture
maturity of tooth
pulp capping indications for complicated crown fracture
small, recent (less than one day) exposure
no associated luxation injuries
absences of caries/restorations
young pulp has better prog
partial pulpotomy indications for complicated crown fracture
large exposure or immature tooth
exposure less than one week old
allows for vitality testing and cervical maturation
prognosis: 7-28% incidence of necrosis
pulpectomy indications for complicated crown fracture
mature tooth, post and core required to restore tooth
pulp regeneration indications for complicated crown fracture
pulp tissue is necrotic and immature (open) apex present
disinfect canal space, place scaffold to induce bleeding in canal, seal with MTA and composite and monitor
ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE OPEN APEX!!
for crown root fractures, what extra things do you need to assess?
depth of fracture….tooth fragment must be removed, consider biologic wdith
