Abstract:
Management of traumatic dental injuries is often challenging due to the complexity in diagnosis, concomitant injuries, and the interdisciplinary treatment planning. As a result, the clinicians are often confused and not confident over important treatment decisions. The guidelines of International Association of Dental Traumatology have improved the standard of dental trauma care globally and provide a roadmap for predictable prognosis. However, there are unique situations that require additional investigations such as the Cone Beam Computed Tomography and customized treatment and follow up protocol. An essential requisite for prevention of adverse late complications of dental injuries is clear understanding of their etiopathogenesis and the changes that occur after an injury. Additionally, it is prudent to understand the basic physiology behind the healing that is expected after a treatment protocol. This review presents the science behind the development of late complications of dental injuries and their management protocols in a simplified and clinical manner. An attempt has been made to highlight the clinical paradigms and decisions that reduce the chances of failures in traumatized teeth.

Teeth
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
