Q

FACTORS TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT FOR dental trauma? (4)

A
    • Kind of trauma
    • If there is pulp affectation or not
    • State of the ápex (open or closed) and the root (reabsorption)
    • Time that has passed from the moment of the trauma
17
Q

What must you always do for dental trauma treatment? (2)

A
  • Always clean the area with saline solution

* Always use topical and local anesthesia

18
Q

What is sometimes necesary for relocations, reimplantations etc?

A

Previous medications: benzodiazepines

19
Q

General treatment of soft tissues in mouth after dental trauma?

A

Suture soft tissues (tongue, mucosa etc)

20
Q

What to do after the treatment of dental trauma? (2)

A
  • Remember the importance of the oral hygiene.
  • Rinses with clorhexidine for 7-10 days.
  • Sometimes a soft diet is needed
21
Q

Dental trauma medications? (4)

A
  • Antibiotics (always)
  • analgesics and antiinflammatories
  • antitetanic vaccine
  • Use of splints
22
Q

Dental trauma medications: antibiotics? (2)

A
  • Amoxicillin oral via. : 40 – 50 mg / kg / day in 3-4 intakes (at least 4 days)
  • If allergies: Azithromycin / clindamycin
23
Q

Dental trauma medications: Analgesic and antiinflammatoires?

A

Ibuprofene : 10 -20 mg / kg / 8 hours ( or paracetamol )

24
Q

Dental trauma medications: Antitetanic vaccine?

A

1 reminder dose (if there is reasonable doubt that is necessary)

25
Q

Dental trauma medications: splits? (3)

A

• When there is mobility on the trauma it is necessary to
inmobilize the teeth with splints
• The most commonly used in pediatric dentistry are the wire splints
• We may also use: titanium chain (expencsive) or glass fiber

26
Q

Characteristics of splints? (3)

A

• 1º-Easy (to put, to remove, to wear)
• 2º-Not harmful for the occlusion or
the soft tissues
• 3º- Stable: They must include at least 2 teeth on each side of the affected tooth

27
Q

Andreassen check up guidlines? (5)

A
  • 1- 2 weeks (confirm diagnosis, remove splint, pulp
    treatments,…)
  • 4 weeks ( remove splints, pulp treatment)
  • 3, 6, 12 months (internal and external reabsorptions , ankylosis)
  • 5 years ( complications : external reabsorptions

**counting from the moment of the trauma

28
Q

Types of complications for traumas? (4)

A
  • Reabsroptions (internal & external)
  • Ankylosis and delay of eruption
  • alterations of the enamel
  • dilaceration
29
Q

Trauma complications: Reabsorption? (2)

A
  • Internal reabsorptions: The first that appear

* External reabsorptions: The most severe

30
Q

Trauma complications: Ankylosis and delay of eruption? (2)

A
  • Because of traumas of great intensity( luxations )

* Delay of eruption of permanent tooth because of very premature loss or extraction of the primary

31
Q

Trauma complications: Enamel alterations and dilacerations? (2)

A

• Because of traumas of great intensity( luxations )
• The buccal surface of the permanent incisor is affected
(Turner tooth)

32
Q

35
Q

periodontal lesions
(luxations)
36
