Lecture Course
Contemporary Management of Traumatic Dental Injuries
ANTHONY J. DiANGELIS, D.M.D., M.P.H.
OVERVIEW
For many reasons the incidence of dental trauma is increasing. Research shows that up to 50% of school age children, 6-18 year olds, will experience dental injuries. Also, more involvement in sports activities has dramatically altered the male to female injury ratio. Currently sports and traffic related accidents are the leading causes of dentoalveolar injuries in the 16-30 year age group. Consequently, dentists and their staffs are frequently faced with treating unexpected dental trauma. Are you up to date with the most current research and guidelines for managing such injuries?
This presentation, utilizing numerous successful and not so successful patient cases, will demonstrate current and comprehensive treatment methods for the entire spectrum of dental injuries. Pulpal, periodontal and restorative therapies will be presented, with an emphasis on preserving teeth and supporting tissues in a predictable and efficient manner.
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the course participants will
understand:
• How to rapidly assess and document traumatic injuries.
• How to provide emergency care and stage future treatment.
• Factors influencing ultimate prognosis.
• When and how long to splint injured teeth.
• Methods for minimizing complications associated with dentoalveolar trauma.
• How to treat concussion, subluxation, extrusion, intrusion, lateral luxation and avulsion injuries.
• How to treat dentoalveolar, root and tooth fractures.
