paeds Flashcards
aims of primary dentition trauma management
presevre integrity of permanent successor and presver primary tooth where possible
aims of permanent trauma management
preserve vitality of tooth to allow root maturation and resotre crown to prevent function and aesthetic problems
components of trauma stamp

sinus/ tender in sulcus
TTP
mobility
colour
displacement
EPT
ECl/thermal
percussion notes
radiographs
factors that influences prognosis after trauma to tooth
root development
injury type
presence of infection
delay in seeking tx
PDL damage
age of child
degree of displacment
associated injuries
primary trauma
concussion
observe only
primary trauma
subluxation
observe only
primary trauma
lateral luxation
extract if occlusal interference
allow spontaneous reposition if not
primary trauma
extrusion
extract
primary trauma
intrusion
parallax
if towards developing tooth germ (lingual) - extract
if not (buccal) leave to reerupt
if not progress after 6 months - XLA
primary avulsion
radiograph to confirm -
DO NOT REPLANT
primary trauma alveoalr bone fracture
reposition and 4wk splint
post trauma complications
primary tooth
4
discolouration
discolouration and infection
disclouration due to loss of vitality
delayed exfoliation
post trauma complications
of primary on permanent dentition
6
enamel defect
delayed eruption
ecotopic eruption
abnormal tooth/root morphology (dilaceration)
arrest of tooth formation
complete failure to form
interceptive methods to prevent dental trauma
interceptive ortho for increased OJ >9mm
mouthguard for contact sports
3 contraindications for immediate replantation after avulsion of permanent tooth
immunocompromised child,
immature lower incisors,
other more serious/concerning injuries that required treatment
periodontal healing outcomes post replantation

regeneration
PDL/cemental healing
bony healing (ankylosis)
uncontrolled infection

primary tooth features
4
Thinner enamel,
larger pulp horns,
broad contact points/areas,
bulbous crowns,
cervical constriction
leeway space
extra mesio-distal space occupied by primary molars which are wider than the permanent premolars that will replace them. Ideally 1.5mm upper and 2.5mm lower
mixed dentition
from when first permanent tooth erupts until the last primart tooth exfoliates
3 aims of paediatric dentistry
develop and maintain an intact, healthy, functional and aesthetic primary and permanent dentition (as few restored teeth as possible)
free from pain and infection (no active caries)
positive attitude towards future dental care
