Introduction:
In the practices of roughly one third of orthodontists, at least one patient has experienced the loss of a tooth following orthodontic movement of a tooth with a history of dentoalveolar trauma. Such teeth are more susceptible to pulp necrosis, pulp canal obliteration, resorption (with or without ankylosis), and alveolar bone loss.
Objective:
This article aims to provide orthodontic practitioners with a clear and accessible guide to managing patients presenting with trauma or a history thereof.
Materials And Method:
A literature review and a synthesis of current recommendations regarding orthodontic management of traumatized permanent teeth or those with a history of trauma were conducted. This work is a narrative review of the literature, with articles included having been consulted between January 1990 and June 2023.
Results:
Complications from dentoalveolar trauma weaken the tooth and the periodontium, impacting the planning and execution of orthodontic treatment.
Conclusion:
Knowledge of dental traumatology and its possible consequences helps minimize risks during post-traumatic orthodontic treatment.

01:27Fractures: 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...

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...

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...
