Trauma IV - hard tissue injury permanent Flashcards
How are trauma injuries classified?
Enamel Enamel-dentine (C/U) Crown-root (C/U) Root fracture Alveolar fractures
What is enamel infarction?
Disruption of enamel prism, extend surface of ADJ
No loss tooth tissue
Fracture light seen under light
What is uncomplicated enamel-dentine fracture?
Not involving pulp
Loss enamel/dentine
Emergency tx of U enamel-dentine fracture?
Composite ideally
Excessive bleeding - RMGIC
Definitive tx of U e-d fracture?
Consider buccal bevel
Direct composite
Fragment replacement
How carry out fragment replacement?
Etch and bond fragment to tooth - use flowable to bond
Warn pt of discolouration
What does tx of complicated e-d fracture depend on?
Extent fracture
Time exposure
Development
3 options for complicated fracture?
- pulp cap
- pulpotomy
- pulpectomy
When can pulp cap be used for complicated fractures?
Used for pin-point exposure w/ minimal exposure time
What is pulpotomy vs pulpectomy?
Pulpotomy = partial removal coronal pulp
Pulpectomy = complete removal coronal and radicular pulp
When should pulpotomy be used in complicated fracture?
Be used in immature or mature teeth
When should pulpectomy be carried out?
Non-vital teeth e.g irreversible pulpits
Prolonger exposure time
Complete apical development
Large exposure
What is Cvek pulptomy?
Partial pulpotomy Amputate pulp to gingival level Arrest haemorrhage w/ saline Place calcium hydroxide onto pulp Place GI liner Restore compposite
How do trauma guidelines suggest to tx crown fracture with exposed pulp?
LA/ rubber dam Clean area w/ saline Disinfect tooth sodium hypochlorite Pulpotomy depth 2mm Saline on cotton pledget arrest bleed Apply calcium hydroxide/ MTA Seal exposed dentine Restore composite
Why would avoid doing pulpectomy in immature teeth?
Open apex - wide canal - lead fracture
Need artificially create apical barrier
Tx options for crown-root fractures?
Fragment removal and restoration
Fragment removal and ortho extrusion
Fragment removal, root burial and removable denture
How are root fractures classified?
Apical 1/3
Middle 1/3
Cervical 1/3
How diagnose root fracture?
Need two angle - usually PA/ USO
What does prognosis of root fracture depend on?
Concomitant injuries
Maturity of tooth
Location fracture
What fractures have worst prognosis?
Cervical
What does healing of root fractures depend on?
Aproximation of fragments time of injury
Stabilisation injury
Presence/ absence injury
What are different healing options of root fracture?
Hard tissue union
Interposition connective tissue
Interposition connective tissue and bone
Granulation tissue
What get in hard tissue healing of root fracture?
PDL established around whole tooth
What get in connective tissue healing of root fracture?
Both parts tooth remain vital
PDL around both portions, tooth two pieces
