Dental Trauma

Dental trauma

Dental trauma is comparatively public and can occur secondary to falls, fights, sporting injuries, or vehicle accidents. Because many clinicians work in a public environment where there is no dentist on call for danger, they may find themselves involuntary to deal with serious dental injuries in such circumstances.
A study sought to determine whether oral cavity cancers occurred more commonly at the places of dental trauma. The study concluded that oral cavity cancers occur predominantly at the place of possible denture trauma, especially in non-smokers without other risk factors. A main point of this study was that the location where oral cavity cancers arise is different in smokers and non-smokers. Identifying teeth irritation as a potential chemical should have an impact on prevention and treatment plans.


Prevention
Most of the dental traumas are preventable, and these protections minimize the danger:
  • Always wear your car seat belt to be safe from injuries while accidents and children should be safe in car seats.
  • Homes should be checked for potential tripping and slipping hazards which increase the chance of dental trauma.
  • Child-proofing measures should be taken especially for kids and these include measures such as placing gates across stairs, padding sharp edges and tucking the electrical wires.
  • Mouthguards should always be worn by athletes who is taking part in the sports such as football, wrestling, boxing, skateboarding, in-line skating, bicycling etc
             


            
             
Medical valuation
Initial valuation of a patient with dental trauma should contain the following process:
  •         Proper physical checking of the head, neck, and face.
  •         Valuation of possible injuries to end-to-end areas and structures
Imaging modalities that may be careful contain the following:
  •         CT Scan of the head, neck, and maxillofacial bones
  •          Periapical radiography
  •          Panoramic radiography of the teeth
Prognosis

 Infection is a common problem but can be managed with a course of antibiotics. With appropriate interferences and suitable treatment, the prognosis for curing dental trauma is good.
