Abstract:
Dental trauma in children is relatively prevalent due to active lifestyles and sports participation. Maxillary incisors are most commonly affected, with injuries ranging from enamel fractures to avulsions. Recent studies emphasize early diagnosis, conservative treatment to preserve tooth vitality, and the use of advanced imaging like cone beam computed tomography for accurate assessment. Socioeconomic disparities, malocclusion, and lack of mouthguard usage are identified risk factors. Prevention methods such as education and mouthguard usage are vital. Ongoing research is refining trauma management protocol, improving long-term dental outcomes and supporting favorable prognoses for teeth affected by trauma.

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 procedure...

Tooth Anatomy
The Crown, Neck, and Root
