Course: Dental Trauma
Objectives:
Epidemiological studies have shown that 30% of children and 20% of all US teens have sustained dental trauma. 5 million teeth are avulsed yearly at a cost of $500 million in repairing the problem. This session will discuss the contemporary concepts in the biology, diagnosing, treatment, and prevention of common pediatric dental injuries. Also, when to not treat will be discussed. At the conclusion, the learner will be able to properly assess and treat the myriad of dental injuries the practitioner may face in practice.
