Abstract:
This article provides an overview of dentoalveolar trauma, including alveolar bone fractures and dental injuries such as luxation and avulsion. Clinical anatomy, classification, and diagnostic protocols are discussed alongside surgical and nonsurgical management strategies. Emphasis is placed on timely intervention, preservation of pulpal and periodontal health, and prevention of complications. Special considerations for pediatric patients, esthetic-zone injuries, and avulsed tooth management are highlighted. Emerging advances in imaging, along with a multidisciplinary approach, are underscored as essential to achieving optimal functional and esthetic outcomes.

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
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 grinding food.
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 and...
