Journal of the American Dental Association (1939)
|December 1, 1982
Summary
Dental practitioners should know current avulsed tooth treatment. Updated protocols, including reduced splinting time and calcium hydroxide use, improve long-term prognosis by decreasing resorption.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Surgery
- Traumatology
Background:
- Avulsed teeth require prompt and appropriate management.
- Understanding current treatment guidelines is crucial for dental practitioners.
Purpose of the Study:
- To update dental practitioners on avulsed tooth management.
- To review data collection and treatment modalities for traumatic dental injuries.
Main Methods:
- Review of current literature on avulsed tooth treatment.
- Analysis of factors influencing long-term prognosis.
Main Results:
- Decreased splinting time reduces replacement resorption.
- Calcium hydroxide use improves apical seal and reduces inflammatory resorption.
Conclusions:
- Current treatment recommendations enhance the long-term prognosis of avulsed teeth.
- Adherence to updated protocols minimizes complications like resorption.
