Types of Paediatric Dental Trauma Flashcards
what is the aetiology of paediatric trauma
falls
bumping into objects
2-4 years old
what are the two main classifications of trauma
dental hard tissues and pulp
supporting tissues
what are the classifications of dental hard tissue and pulp trauma
enamel fracture
enamel and dentine fracture
enamel dentine and pulp fracture
crown-root fracture
root fracture
what are the classifications of supporting tissue trauma
concussion
subluxation
lateral luxation
intrusion
extrusion
avulsion
alveolar fracture
what is an enamel fracture
fracture affects enamel only
what is an enamel-dentine fracture
fracture involves enamel and dentine and pulp is not exposed
what is a complicated enamel, dentine and pulp fracture
fracture involves enamel and dentine plus the pulp is exposed
what is a crown-root fracture
involves enamel, dentine and root
pulp may or may not be involved (complicated vs uncomplicated)
what is a concussion injury
DPL injury
tooth is TTP
no displacement and no bleeding into sulcus
what is a subluxation injury
tooth is TTP and has increased mobility
tooth is not displaced by bleeding from gingival crevice present
what is a lateral luxation injury
tooth displaced usually in a paltal/ lingual or labial direction
what is an intrusion injury
tooth is usually displaced through the labial bone plate or can impinge on permanent tooth bud
what is an extrusion injury
partial displacement of tooth out of the socket
what is an avulsion injury
tooth is completely out of the socket
what is an alveolar fracture
fracture involves alveolar bone and may extend to adjacent bone
mobility with several teeth moving together likely
