Abstract
|
|
|
|
Dental traumatic injury is very common in children and adolescent, with the prevalence of 22.7% in primary teeth and 18.1% in 12-year-old children. It compromises esthetics and function, and can affect negatively on oral health-related quality of life in growing children and adolescent. Efforts should be made to restore normal condition and to minimize the psychological impacts of young patients and caregivers while treating dental trauma in emergency situations. Possible damage of permanent successors needs to be considered in primary dentition. For immature permanent teeth, it is necessary to make an effort to preserve the pulp vitality so that continuous root development can take place.
