The aim: To determine the structure of acute injuries of temporary and permanent frontal teeth in children, to analyze the applied diagnostic and treatment measures for acute tooth trauma and to investigate their effectiveness. Materials and methods: The subject of the study were 31 children aged 2-12 years with acute temporary and permanent tooth trauma. Methods: clinical (radiological, thermodiagnosis), medical and statistical. Results: The number of injured permanent teeth was greater than the number of injured temporary teeth. The pattern of temporary and permanent tooth injuries differed, so in temporary teeth dislocations were observed, and in permanent teeth fractures prevailed over dislocations. In our opinion, this is due to the peculiarities of the anatomy of the temporary teeth. Usually, the therapeutic tactics of acute temporary teeth injuries is to remove them, despite their important role in the growth and development of jaws, physiological formation and eruption of permanent teeth. The therapeutic tactics of dynamic observation in the case of intrusive dislocation of the temporary tooth were selected in the clinic of the Department of Pediatric Dentistry. In some cases, with a slight change in the position of the temporary tooth, self-regulation of its position was observed, in other cases the tooth remained dystopic, but its viability remained in 50% of cases. Therapeutic tactics of acute injuries of permanent teeth were selected according to the type of trauma. In the case of permanent tooth dislocation, with a slight change in its position, tooth immobilization was carried out by splinting with fiberglass tape and photopolymer composite material. Conclusions: Our observations have shown that the complex of modern specialized medical care for the affected children with acute traumatic injuries of the teeth should be guided by their preservation, which ensures the subsequent normal formation of the dental-jaw apparatus. To ensure these conditions, a long, reliable immobilization of the damaged tooth is required as soon as possible after injury.

Abstract Traumatic injuries to permanent teeth are common, and dramatic episodes can occur during childhood. The aim of this paper is to present a report of severe trauma to the orofacial complex of an 8-year old girl that resulted in multiple injuries. The use of the term “dental polytrauma” (concomitant different dental traumatic injuries) is advocated in this case presentation. Citation Martins WD, Westphalen FH, Ditzel Westphalen VP, Souza PHC.

Irreversible Pulpitis

Introduction: Traumatic injuries to immature permanent teeth are one of the most recurrent and urgent emergency treatment cases in pediatric dental practice. In many instances, the protocol for responding to this kind of emergency is not correct, and is not performed in a timely manner. Delays in seeking treatment following a complicated crown fracture in young individuals can result in irreversible pulpitis or pulp necrosis. It can leave a wide-open apex and brittle dentinal walls that are unfavorable to manage with conventional endodontic treatment (apexification).Materials and methods: The present report describes the clinical case of a complicated crown fracture in young permanent central incisor, with 18 months of clinical and radiographic follow-up. The traumatized incisor was successfully treated using a coronal pulpotomy technique and tricalcium silicate cement – BiodentineTM.Results: The presented treatment approach provided elimination of the symptoms, an absence of pain episodes, and positive reactions to pulp sensitivity tests. The follow up radiological assessment revealed evidence of a dentin bridge formation and continuation of root maturation.Conclusions: Coronal pulpotomies using tricalcium silicate cement are quick and easy to perform, and unlike endodontic treatment, preserve the tooth structure for the reattached tooth fragment. The restorative technique, the reattachment of fractured tooth fragment, and tooth restoration with a composite resin, represents an aesthetic, functional approach, and is an excellent and easy restorative option for clinicians and young impatient patients.Keywords: BiodentineTM; complicated crown fracture; immature permanent teeth; pulpotomy.

Introduction. Post-traumatic injuries are significant problems of paedodontic dentistry that parents with children urgently report to dental practice. Aim. The aim of the study is to indicate the necessity of maintaining the victimological awareness of the dental team in assessing injuries of deciduous and permanent teeth in terms of differentiating accidental and non-accidental injuries. Material and methods. The publications in the PubMed scientific database were reviewed by applying the search criteria for the following keywords in Polish and English: “non-accidental injury”, “children and youth”, “perpetrator of abuse”, “phenomenon identification”, “interview and clinical examination”. Results. Interview and clinical examination are among the basic diagnostic tools for correct diagnosis, which results in the implementation of proper therapeutic management in a child after an injury. This also an opportunity to observe disturbing behavior of children that may indicate abuse. Regardless of the provided information, the subject examination is verifying the compliance of an interview with post-traumatic injuries arising in a simple physical mechanism – the greater the energy, the greater destruction. This will provide relevant information that verifies the compliance of the interview with the clinical examination, thanks to the reliable victimological knowledge of the dentist, results in the correct diagnosis, implementation of appropriate treatment, and child abuse intervention. Conclusions. The likelihood of a child’s non-accidental injury requires medical professionals to take decisive action to protect the child from the effects of physical violence in particular during the COVID-19 pandemic, in which minors forced by the external situation spend more time with perpetrators of abuse, they are more exposed to harm. Victimology education and an appropriate response to child abuse will allow for effective intervention regarding both the therapeutic process and measures to prevent further harm to children.

Introduction: Traumatic dental injuries are a major public health problem, especially in the age range of 7 to 15 years, when young permanent teeth are established. Objective: To evaluate the behavior of parents of children who attend public or private school and their educators, in cases of traumatic injury to young permanent teeth and to evaluate whether they sought emergency guidance, in the city of Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Evaluation was carriedout via a questionnaire for asking the parents and teachers about their knowledge of dental trauma. Material and methods: A total of 248 parents and 22 teachers participated in the study. Out of all the participants that completed the questionnaire with questions on previous trauma experience, avulsion behavior, avulsed tooth storage medium, and time elapsed from dental trauma until care, 49.6% of had higher education. The data were tabulated on a Microsoft Office Excel 365 worksheet, and the chi-square statistical test wasapplied. Results: The research showed that 91.8% of parents and8.2% of educators from both public and private schools had minimalknowledge regarding dental trauma. Many of the participants (73.2%) were unaware of what dental reimplantation was and lacked knowledge regarding storage choices for a dental element. Instead, 68% preferred to take the child to a dental surgeon to receive emergency care. Conclusion: The knowledge parents and educators of public and private schools have about dental trauma is limited. Education on this subject needs to be promoted for enabling parents andeducators to make informed decisions to ensure the best prognosis after traumatic dental injury.
