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.
