Trauma II Flashcards
Enamel fracture types? (2)
Incomplete & complete
Incomplete enamel fracture? (3)
- Vertical line of fracture (generally because of occlusal trauma)
- Diagnosis: transilumination
- It does not need treatment on any dentition
Complete enamel fracture? (3)
- There is loss of dental structure.
- No clinical symptoms
(no exposed dentin tubules) - Oblique or horizontal line of fracture
Complete enamel fracture esthetic problems? (2)
Yes
Do a restoration with composite
Complete enamel fracture pain?
No
Complete enamel fracture pulpar?
No pulp treatment, check evolution
COMPLETE ENAMEL FRACTURE: TREATMENT permanent dentition ? (3)
- If it is small (<2mm) polish and fluoride
- If >2mm: restoration with composite
- There usually are no pulp problems with time, but the
Andreassen Check-up guidelines are kept in case there is any
complication
COMPLETE ENAMEL FRACTURE: TREATMENT primary dentition?
Same treatment as permanent dentition
ENAMEL-DENTIN FRACTURE? (3)
• MORE SEVERE
• It always have to be treated: affectation of the dentin tubules and
posible pulp lesion
• Sensitivity to cold, sweet, brushing,…
ENAMEL-DENTIN FRACTURE line of fracture? (2)
- more frequent is oblique
- may also be parallel to the incisal border
ENAMEL-DENTIN FRACTURE: aesthetic problems? (2)
- Yes
- Restore with composite
ENAMEL-DENTIN FRACTURE: Pain? (2)
Yes
analgesics
ENAMEL-DENTIN FRACTURE: pulpar? (2)
No
Tubules exposure –> protection
ENAMEL-DENTIN FRACTURE paermanent tooth treatment?
The treatment can be done in 1 or 2 days:
- 1º.- Pulp protection with calcium hydroxide and composite (or
with glass ionomer)
( URGENT )
- 2º.- Reconstruction with composite or reposition of the
fragment (previous rehidration)
ENAMEL-DENTIN FRACTURE primary tooth treatment? (3)
• Composite restoration
• Check the pulp condition: If there is necrosis do pulpectomy or extraction
• If it has passed time since the trauma and there is pathological
reabsorptions: extraction
ENAMEL-DENTIN FRACTURE primary tooth treatment risks?
It may delay the eruption of the
permanent tooth
ENAMEL-DENTIN-PULP FRACTURE? (2)
- Much more severe
* Mandatory and urgent treatment: great spontaneous pain and evolution to pulp necrosis if it is not treated
ENAMEL-DENTIN-PULP FRACTURE: Diagnosis? (2)
- It is basically clinic: fracture with bleeding pulp exposure in a first moment. When time passes, the exposure changes of color due to pulp necrosis.
- X-ray: If it is not treated … radiographic signs of necrosis
ENAMEL-DENTIN-PULP FRACTURE: aesthetic problem? (2)
Yes
Restoration with composite
ENAMEL-DENTIN-PULP FRACTURE: pain? (2)
- Yes
- Analgesics and urgent treatment
ENAMEL-DENTIN-PULP FRACTURE: Pulpar? (2)
- Yes
- Urgent pulp treatment
ENAMEL-DENTIN-PULP FRACTURE: factors to take into account? (3)
- Size of the pulp exposure
- Time passed
- Apex condition
