25
which are the two groups in which the dental trauma is divided?
fractures & luxation injuries
26
which are the types of fractures
crown crown-root root fractures
27
what's a complicated fracture?
when the pulp is exposed
28
what's an uncomplicated fracture?
when the pulp is NOT exposed to the oral environment
29
what's the most esthetically solution in a crown fracture?
to look for the broken-off tooth fragment and rebond it to the tooth
30
If there is at least 0.5 mm of the dentin remaining covering the pulp in a crown fracture
there's no need to cover it with a protective liner
31
If there is less than 0.5 mm of the dentin remaining covering the pulp in a crown fracture
it's necessary to cover the pulp with a cavity liner
32
when a crown-root fracture is presented what has to be done?
the fracture margin has to be exposed around the tooth or crown to properly restore the tooth
33
what has to be done when there's a fracture line is in the sulcus
a gingivectomy to expose the fracture line and restore it appropiately
34
what other treatments can be done to expose the fracture line when its further than the sulcus
extrude the tooth with orthodontic forces or repositionated surgically
35
a crown fracture where the pulp is exposed
it has to be protected with a liner
36
A lack of response to vitality tests after a trauma
doesn't always indicate the need of a root canal treatment and it's advisable to look for at least another signs of pulpal necrosis
37
what other signs besides no reponse to vitality tests can indicate pulpal necrosis
vestibule swelling, periapical lesions and or a dramatic color change of the crown
38
if there's no other signs besides no response to vitality tests for pulpal necrosis what has to be done?
continue to monitor the px at regular appointments every three months up to 1 year
39
what's affected in all root fractures
the pulp
40
in a root fracture if there's enough approximation between the fragments what's the thing most likely to occur?
the pulp will revascularize itself across the fracture
41
T or F: All luxation injuries will cause some damage to the periodontal ligament and in some cases the pulp as well
True
42
what's the immediate treatment when a luxation occurs
limit further damage to the pdl
43
what late complications can occur due to the luxation?
internal or external root resorptions
44
In this case the tooth is still in its original location but its tender to percussion
concussion
45
In this case the tooth is still in its original location but its tender to percussion and has increased mobility
subluxation
46
what's the treatment for a subluxation
depends on how much the tooth has moved out of its normal position
47
When an immature tooth is intruded up to 7 mm
it is recommended to wait 3 weeks and watch for signs of re-eruption
47
When an immature tooth is intruded up to 7 mm and shows no signs of re-eruption
can initiate orthodontic repositioning
47
For intrusion of more than 7 mm
surgical or orthodontic repositioning should be performed within three weeks
47
In the case of an intruded tooth with a closed apex, there is a possibility of reeruption if
if the tooth is slightly intruded (less than 3 mm) and the patient is younger than 17 years old
47
what's the risk of all the intrusions after a luxation
the ankylose of the tooth in the infraposition
48
Splinting of a luxated tooth is only recommended for teeth that
are still mobile after repositioning
48
In all types of trauma cases, a splint must allow
for physiological movement
48
in a luxation trauma, if the apex is still open
there is a chance that the pulp will survive the trauma or revascularize allowing the growth of the tooth
49
in a luxation trauma, If the apex is closed
endodontic treatment is likely needed
50
what can occur if the necrotic pulpal tissue becomes infected when there's an injury to the pdl
a rapid inflammatory root resorption
51
For mature teeth diagnosed with necrotic pulps what is recommended to place for two to four weeks prior to obturation
calcium hydroxide
52
what should we wait for before placing calcium hydroxide prior an endodontic treatment
allow the pdl to heal
53
in the case of luxation, what is recommended for teeth with open apices
apexification or revascularization
54
In the case of avulsion what are the conditions to have a fairly good prognosis after replanting the tooth
replacing no more than 30mins after o having kept it in a physiological solution of specialized media or milk for a few hrs
55
in the case of avulsion, If the tooth has been dry for more than 1 hour, the periodontal ligament cannot be expected to survive and the tooth will likely become ankylosed
true
56
in the case or avulsion, once the teeth has been reimplanted what do we use to stabilize them
a physiological splint for 2 weeks
57
If the avulsed tooth has an open apex and was reimplanted within the hour, there is a possibility that the pulp will revascularize
true
58
in the case of avultion and a tooth with a closed apex there's no revascularization going to happen, so what's the treatment that has to be done?
endodontic treatment
59
in the case of a tooth with a closed apex when it's time to do the endodontic treatment after the reimplantation of the tooth?
2 weeks after the reimplantation and prior to the removal of the splint
60
early treatment or manipulation of the tooth inmmediately after reimplantation can cause
damage to the pdl
61
placing calcium hydroxide immediately after reimplantation
will promote inflammation that will lead to pdl damage
62
in the case of avulsion, if the tooth has been kept dry longer than 60 mins what has to be done prior to replantation
canal treatment
63
