Tooth and Face Injuries in Legal Autopsy


Abstract
Traumatic injuries to the teeth and the alveolar process are all too frequent childhood and not uncommon adult injury. A traumatically injured tooth is a distressing accident for the patient, and often the final dental restoration leaves much to be desired in appearance as well as in function.
Review of a long series of accident cases established that on the basis of frequency the patient¢¥s age must be considered a predisposing cause. The greatest incidence appears to be in children from 7 to 11 years of age.
At this period in the development of the anterior teeth the crowns are especially vulnerable because of the large pulp chambers. Also at this "toothy age" these teeth frequently crupt in positions of isolated prominence in the arch, and they may be exposed to trauma.
