Types of Dental Injuries
- Tooth Fractures
- Enamel Fracture – Minor chips or cracks in the outer tooth layer.
- Enamel-Dentin Fracture – Involves deeper layers and may cause sensitivity.
- Complicated Crown Fracture – Involves the pulp; requires urgent care.
- Root Fracture – Can lead to mobility or infection.
- Tooth Luxation (Displacement)
- Concussion – Tooth is tender but not mobile.
- Subluxation – Slight mobility without displacement.
- Extrusion – Tooth partially comes out of the socket.
- Lateral Luxation – Tooth is pushed sideways.
- Intrusion – Tooth is pushed into the socket.
- Avulsion
A tooth is completely knocked out of its socket. Immediate re-implantation within 30 minutes offers the best chance of saving the tooth.
- Soft Tissue Injuries
Injuries to the lips, tongue, cheeks, or gums that may require sutures and disinfection.
- Jawbone Fractures
Often associated with high-impact injuries and may require surgical management and immobilization.
Dental Trauma Management – Treatment Options
- Tooth Repositioning and Splinting
- Displaced teeth are gently repositioned and stabilized using a dental splint for 2–4 weeks to promote healing.
- Pulp Therapy / Root Canal Treatment
- If the pulp is exposed or inflamed, root canal therapy (RCT) helps preserve the tooth and eliminate infection.
- Dental Bonding or Veneers
- Chipped or fractured teeth can be restored aesthetically using composite bonding or porcelain veneers.
- Tooth Reimplantation
- In cases of avulsion, if the tooth is preserved well and time permits, it can be reinserted and splinted.
- Extraction and Tooth Replacement
- If the tooth is beyond saving, it is extracted and replaced with dental implants, bridges, or dentures.
- Soft Tissue Repair
- Cuts and lacerations in the oral cavity are cleaned, stitched (if necessary), and medicated to promote healing.
