Tooth Avulsion– A Dental Emergency
Dr. Mithra N. Hegd, Dr. Radhika Jain
Abstract :
Traumatic dental injuries occur very frequently in children and adults due to various etiological factors such as fall, accidents, sports injuries etc. Tooth avulsion comprises around 1–16% of these injuries. It is one of the few emergencies in dentistry. The success of treatment depends on the viability of periodontal ligament cells on the root surfaces of the tooth. This decreases with the increase in duration of extaroral time. The storage medium for the avulsed tooth is a prime factor affecting prognosis. Proper diagnosis and treatment planning helps in a favourable outcome. This article reviews tooth avulsion as an emergency, the various storage media available and the guidelines for management of avulsed tooth in the dental office.
