Crown-root Fractures (crown-root + fractures)
Selected AbstractsCrown-root fracture of a lower first primary molar: report of an unusual caseDENTAL TRAUMATOLOGY, Issue 3 2008Gabriela da Rosa Götze Abstract,,, Dental traumas are highly prevalent lesions in primary teeth, but crown-root fractures are seldom observed in posterior teeth of this dentition. The aim of the present report was to describe the diagnosis, treatment, and a 24-month follow-up of an unusual case of complicated crown-root fracture in a lower first primary molar of a 3-year-old boy. [source] Tooth fragment reattachment in multiple complicated permanent incisor crown-root fractures , a report of two casesDENTAL TRAUMATOLOGY, Issue 2 2008Antoniella Busuttil Naudi Abstract,,, Crown-root fractures account for only 5% of all traumatic injuries; however, they can present difficulties for successful management. This paper describes the treatment of two unrelated children who sustained crown-root fractures, extending subgingivally, in permanent upper central incisor teeth with immature apices. [source] Multiple crown-root fractures in primary molars and a suspected subcondylar fracture following trauma: a report of a caseDENTAL TRAUMATOLOGY, Issue 2 2008Zahra Tejani Injuries to the primary dentition are usually luxations and mandibular fractures rarely occur. With trauma sustained to the chin, the posterior primary teeth are at increased risk of trauma and mandibular fractures can occur. The case discussed is of a 4-year-old female who presented 2 weeks following dental trauma with multiple primary molar fractures and a possible subcondylar fracture. The need for a detailed examination is emphasized and the management of the case under general anaesthesia is described. [source] Therapeutic and economic implications of traumatic dental injuries in Denmark: an estimate based on 7549 patients treated at a major trauma centreINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PAEDIATRIC DENTISTRY, Issue 4 2001Mette Kit Borum Aim. To analyse the type and extent of injuries presented by patients seeking treatment for traumatic dental injuries at a major trauma centre. Furthermore, to analyse acute and subsequent treatment demands and treatment costs. Methods. A therapeutic and economic analysis was performed of 7549 patients treated for traumatic dental injuries in a major trauma centre located at the University Hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark. Cases were divided into uncomplicated (concussion, subluxation, enamel and enamel-dentine fractures) and complicated cases (crown fractures with exposed pulps and crown-root fractures, luxation injuries with displacement of the tooth and bone fractures). Results. Primary tooth injuries were found in 2874 patients, involving 5443 teeth, among which 62ˇ8% had complicated injuries. Permanent tooth injuries were found in 4525 patients, involving 10673 teeth, among which 40ˇ4% had complicated injuries. The cost of treatment (including acute trauma service, follow-up and subsequent restoration) was estimated to be 0ˇ6,1 mill USD a year for the patients treated in this trauma centre. If this figure is transferred to the estimated trauma population in Denmark, a yearly cost of traumatic dental injuries appears to range from 2 to 5 mill USD per 1 mill inhabitants per year according to the treatment scenario. Conclusion. Thus, treatment of traumatic dental injuries comprises an expensive part of the health services in Denmark. [source] | ||||||||||
