Dental Avulsion. Knocked out Teeth

      Аннотация: Facial trauma that results in fractured, displaced or lost teeth can have significant negative functional, esthetic and psychological effect on children. There is a scarcity of studies focused on the epidemiology of dental trauma, especially regarding avulsion, despite of the magnitude of the physical and psychological sequelae caused by its occurrence. The planning of public policies and treatment guidelines for avulsion, requires epidemiological knowledge of specific characteristics regarding each community.The successful treatment depends on the age of the child at the time of trauma, type and severity of the injury, and the period between dental trauma and care. As a pediatric dentist,we could do much more to prevent orofacial injuries at an individual level within the dental practice setting or more widely, by targeting governing bodies, coaches and schools. The combination of prevention and educational actions is expected to diminish the avulsion accident rates and improve the long-term prognosis of replanted teeth.
