Abstract:
This article addresses restorative options following dental trauma, focusing on immediate soft tissue management and interim stabilization. It highlights the importance of phased management, emphasizing initial concerns like airway safety and management of infection. A case study illustrates management of extensive injuries from an e-cigarette explosion, including avulsed and fractured incisors. The article discusses reimplantation guidelines, splinting techniques, sealing exposed dentin, and interim prosthetics. Growth monitoring and root banking are presented as important steps in achieving long-term esthetic and functional outcomes.
