Dentoalveolar Trauma Management
What is dentoalveolar trauma?
The Dentoalveolar trauma It refers to the lesions that affect the teeth and their supporting structures, including the maxillary bones and gingival tissues. These injuries can occur due to accidents, falls or direct impacts on the mouth and require specialized dental care to avoid long-term complications.
Steps to follow in case of dentoalveolar trauma
Evaluation of the severity of the trauma:
Identify the urgency: Determine if the situation requires immediate attention. In cases of dental fractures, avulsed teeth (completely evicted), or severe bleeding, seek emergency dental care.
Temporary measures: Control the bleeding by applying direct pressure with a clean gauze. Use a cold compress or consume ice to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
Handling an avulsed tooth:
Quick Action: If possible, reposition the tooth in its original position immediately without forcing it. Keep it in place by gently biting a gauze or bandana.
Tooth transport: If you cannot reposition the tooth, place it in a container with sterile saline solution to keep it moist until you receive professional care.
Management of a dental fracture:
Collect Fragments: Collect the fractured tooth fragments and see the dentist as soon as possible.
Proper treatment: The professional will evaluate the severity of the fracture and determine the necessary treatment, which may include restorations with composite materials or a root canal if the damage reaches the dental pulp.
Importance of professional evaluation
