A 3-year Retrospective Analysis of Dento-Alveolar Injuries at the University Children's Hospital Zurich (2018-2020).

Children and adolescents are vulnerable to dental trauma due to their active lifestyles, lack of coordination, and inexperience in recognizing potentially dangerous situations. Early recognition and proper management of dental trauma is crucial in order to minimize the risk of complications and ensure optimal outcomes. The aim of this study was to perform a retrospective analysis of all dento-alveolar injuries in children and adolescents who were treated at the University Children's Hospital Zurich from 2018-2020 by the resident physicians of the Centre of Dental Medicine of the University of Zurich. All information concerning age and sex distribution, seasonal and weekly variations, as well as aetiology, types of trauma and co-affected structures in the head and neck area from 389 patients was analysed. For data extraction, a parameterised Excel list was created, enabling a continuous data collection. In the study, 65% of the patients were male and 35% female. The average patient age was 7 years and 4 months. The highest frequency of trauma occurred in mixed dentition (49%), followed by deciduous dentition (36%) and permanent dentition (15%). Most of the accidents occurred in the second quarter of the year, especially in the month of May slightly more injuries were reported. The most common injuries were increased tooth mobility (40%) and tooth fractures without pulp exposure (34%). Less frequent were tooth fractures with pulp exposure (12%), lateral dislocations (29%), avulsions (21%), intrusions (8%), extrusions (6%) and root fractures (4%). As in many studies the upper central incisors were most often affected. Main causes of dental trauma were falls, especially by bike (18%) or scooter (14%). Soft tissue injuries or fractures, in the area of the head and neck occurred in 59% and 10% of the cases simultaneously accompanied by dento-alveolar trauma.

Parents' knowledge of emergency management of avulsed permanent teeth in children and adolescents in the State of Qatar: a questionnaire cross-sectional study.

To elucidate the level of parental knowledge in Qatar regarding the management of avulsed teeth. A self-administered questionnaire was completed by 400 parents attending their children's routine dental appointments. The questionnaire comprised of items on sociodemographics, parents' prior knowledge on management of avulsion, parents' willingness to replantavulsed teeth at the site of injury, and parents' opinion as to the best format for future parental education on the management of dental trauma. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were employed to assess the association between sociodemographic status and knowledge in the management of avulsion. The overall mean score of parents' knowledge was (23%). Only 23.3% (n = 93) of parents thought that it was possible to reinsert an avulsed permanent tooth. Out of those, only 12.9% (n = 12) indicated willingness to reinsert the tooth back into its socket, while 48.4% (n = 49) indicated that an avulsed tooth should be stored using physiological media. Less than one third (27.8%) indicated that they would seek professional help within 30min. Males were less likely to give favourable answers when compared to females (OR = 0.43, 95% CI = 0.22-0.84). Age groups "31-40" years and "41-50" years were more likely to give favourable answers when compared to 20-30years age group (OR = 2.8, 95% CI = 1.05-8.0and OR = 3.8, 95% CI = 1.3-11.48; respectively). This study highlights critical deficiencies in parental knowledge on the management of tooth avulsion and the need to improve parents' knowledge by developing easily accessible onsite emergency management tools.

Background and Objectives. There is a deficiency of research on orthodontic movements and management strategies for traumatized teeth to avoid further treatment complications. The aim of the study was to evaluate the knowledge of Lithuanian orthodontists about dental trauma and the orthodontic management of traumatized teeth. Materials and Methods. Lithuanian orthodontists and orthodontic residents were introduced to the purpose, objectives and questionnaire of the study. The questionnaire was developed based on demographics, the participants' personal experience, specific questions about dental traumas and orthodontic treatment tactics for patients with a history of dental trauma. Results. A total of 54 participants (42 orthodontists and 12 orthodontic residents) completed the survey. The overall response rate was 42.9%. The results of the survey revealed that the largest share of the study participants-61%-stated that they had treated traumatized teeth just a few times during the whole practice. Briefly, 53.7% of respondents inquired about the dental trauma history only if they saw signs of complications. The results of the survey revealed that the frequency of correct answers to questions about dental trauma was 63.7%, and that about the orthodontic treatment of traumatized teeth was 54.9%. It is worth noting that one-third of physicians pointed out the lack of information about the orthodontic management of traumatized teeth. Conclusion. The knowledge of Lithuanian orthodontists and orthodontic residents about dental injuries and the orthodontic treatment of traumatized teeth is insufficient. Further educational training is recommended.

Sports-related dental injuries and oral health status among Malaysian para-athletes: A cross-sectional study.

Athletes with disabilities may be at an even greater risk of orofacial trauma than their counterparts, and the risk may vary depending on the type of sports. This study aimed to assess the incidence of sports-related dental injuries and oral health status among Malaysian para-athletes. A questionnaire survey was conducted to assess self-reported dental injuries and knowledge of their management. An intraoral examination was performed using the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index following the World Health Organization guidelines. A total of 61 para-athletes (men=90.16%, n=55; women=9.84%, n=6) from different sports categories with different disabilities randomly participated in this study. The incidence of self-reported dental injuries was 18.0% (n=11), with the most common injury being crown tooth fracture (72.7%) and lip laceration (63.6%). However, the majority of the athletes (70.5%, n=43) did nothing after experiencing dental trauma, and 82.0% (n=50) were unaware of the immediate management of dental trauma. Based on the intraoral examination, only 9.8% (n=6) of the athletes had perfectly sound teeth. The mean total DMFT index was 3.49±2.371, while the mean DMFT index for decayed, missing, and filled teeth was 1.28±1.293, 0.74±0.705, and 1.48±1.120, respectively. The mean DMFT index for decayed, missing, and filled teeth and total DMFT index significantly differed among the types of disabilities (P<.05) but not between the sexes (P>.05). The most commonly reported injuries among para-athletes are crown tooth fractures and lip lacerations. The total DMFT index among para-athletes is moderate, emphasising the need for improvements.

Perceptions of emergency department physicians regarding the management of traumatic dental injuries.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the self-reported confidence level and education of Atlantic Canada emergency department physicians in the management of traumatic dental injuries and to assess the need for further education surrounding the management of dental trauma. An 18-item survey was developed and distributed electronically to physicians by their respective provincial medical associations. Traumatic dental injuries were reported in the emergency department on a weekly basis (78%). Most respondents reported that they were somewhat confident (51%) or very confident (7%) in managing traumatic dental injuries. Physicians' years in practice correlated positively with self-reported confidence levels in managing dental trauma. Urban and rural emergency department physicians reported similar levels of access to general dentists (38% and 30%, respectively); however, urban emergency department physicians reported greater access to pediatric dental specialists (43%) and oral and maxillofacial surgeons (81%) than rural practicing colleagues (4% and 30%, respectively). Most emergency department physicians (85%) agreed that it was important to receive training on the management of traumatic dental injuries and reported that education on managing traumatic dental injuries during residency (37%) and access to a dental trauma decision-making pathway (30%) would be of most value. This study highlights the role of emergency department physicians as first responders and demonstrates opportunities for improvement in the initial management of traumatic dental injuries. These implications can be achieved through the incorporation of further training in emergency medicine residency programs and through the implementation of decision-making pathways in emergency departments.

STUDY OF 3D PRINTING MODEL IN DENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION PRECLINIC PRACTICES: NARRATIVE REVIEW

Preclinical learning is a basic exercise to develop skills, based on real cases in the laboratory before taking direct action on patients. However, many students feel stressed, lack confidence, and are not ready to perform dental treatment for patients for the first time. It is necessary to study learning media that are more realistic, and innovative by utilizing technology to bring closer to the real situation of dental treatment patients for students in preclinical. The purpose of this study was to identify the scope of use and benefits of 3D printing in preclinical learning in dental health education or dentistry. The research method is a narrative review using the keywords 3D printing, AND preclinical dental education on Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Pubmed search engines. The results of the study found 14 articles that met the criteria. 3D printing models have been used for endodontic preclinical practice, oral surgery, cavity preparation, management of dental trauma, tooth morphology, assessment of developmental instruments, and combined use with Virtual Reality. The benefits of 3D printing are that it can improve practical learning outcomes, the media is more realistic, and relevant for practice, increases self-confidence, reduces stress and students feel better prepared to care for patients. In conclusion, the use of 3D printing in preclinical practice includes complex dental practice simulations and the development of preclinical practice evaluation instruments that have been combined with other technologies. 3D printing is useful for improving practical learning outcomes, more realistic and relevant as a practicing medium, increasing self-confidence, reducing stress, and increasing students' readiness to perform dental treatment on patients.

Knowledge, Awareness, and Practice Regarding Management of Dental Trauma in Children among Dental Practitioners: A Cross-sectional Survey.

The aim of this study was to determine the current level of knowledge and understanding about dental trauma and its management in children among dental practitioners. The study was conducted after obtaining the ethical clearance from the Institutional Review Board (IRB). A structured questionnaire was prepared, which comprised 20 questions and was validated by dental trauma experts. The questionnaire, which covers all aspects of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) in both primary and permanent dentition, was distributed online to 850 dental practitioners. The questionnaire was open from January 2022 to April 2022, with a 3-month time frame to complete it. The responses were collected and statistical analysis was done using SPSS software. The mean age of the participants were 22-30 years. Furthermore, 515 participants were females and 263 were males. In this survey among 784 responses, 449 dentists were trained in dental trauma and 618 participants had personal experience in managing dental trauma. All other questions about knowledge and awareness of dental trauma management received fewer correct answers. According to the present study, dental practitioners have only mild-to-moderate knowledge and awareness about dental trauma. From the latest the International Association for Dental Traumatology guidelines, dentists need to consistently update their knowledge through dental trauma conferences, workshops, trainings, and symposiums. This study informs us about the existing level of dental knowledge about dental trauma, which is significantly low. This will considerably boost dental practitioners' interest in TDIs. As a result, practitioners' expertise will grow, allowing them to better care for their patients.

Accordingly, awareness programs focused on how teachers at primary school understand the basic management of emergency dental trauma is needed.

Multidisciplinary Approach in the Management of Maxillary Anterior Region Dental Trauma: A Case Report

Traumatic Dental Injuries (TDIs) to the maxillary anterior teeth occur frequently in paediatric and adolescent populations. Prompt diagnosis, correct treatment planning, and a multidisciplinary approach are pertinent aspects of successfully managing multiple TDIs in a patient. The present case report of a 13-year-old female patient describes a multidisciplinary approach necessary to successfully manage dental trauma of an avulsed maxillary central incisor and a complicated crown fracture involving the maxillary left lateral incisor in an adolescent. The complicated crown-root fracture was treated with endodontic therapy, followed by the placement of a fibrereinforced post, core build-up, and the cementing of a porcelain-fused-to-metal crown. Bone grafting with a mandibular symphysis block autograft, followed by prosthetic rehabilitation with transitional implants, was performed to restore the aesthetics, form, and function of the avulsed maxillary central incisors. The use of osseointegrated implants has gained wide acceptance in the adult population. However, due to concerns regarding growth, their use in the paediatric population is not as common. This accounts for a scarcity of clinical cases reported in the literature. There are no established guidelines for the placement of implants in growing patients. Thus, authors believe that the present case report contributes to the literature on this subject. The treatment of this complex, multi-dental injury in the maxillary anterior region of a young female required a holistic approach with a step-wise progressive, long-term treatment plan. Traumatic injuries in adolescent patients can adversely impact their oral health-related quality of life if not treated correctly.

Bambini vittime di maltrattamento e trascuratezza: il contributo dell’odontoiatra

Child maltreatment and neglect are still a major public health problem worldwide. Dentists are in a privileged position to recognize any childabuse and/or neglect because most of the lesions are found precisely in the facial area, involving teeth and oral cavity. Next to the pediatrician, who regularly examines the child as he grows up and occupies a privileged position in recognizing family situations at greater risk and in supporting the family, the dentist has an important diagnostic support function, having a specific competence for the recognition of non-accidental injuries and neglect with oro-facial localization. As indicated in the Ministry of Health’s guidelines for the management of dental trauma, it is desirable that, in the near future, standardized multidisciplinary intervention strategies be promoted, within which both professions, aware of their respective sentinel roles in protecting abused children, can actively collaborate in establishing detection and reporting protocols.

Evaluation of educational needs assessment and management of dental traumas in primary school teachers, in Iran and worldwide: A systematic review

Background: Every year, many primary school children suffer from dental trauma. The long-term success of treatment depends on immediate emergency care and initial professional management after the injury occurs. Therefore, primary school teachers can play an important role in the management of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs). As no systematic review has been conducted on this subject in Iran, the present study aimed to investigate the educational needs assessment and management of dental trauma in primary school teachers in Iran and in other countries. Methods: In this systematic review, four main electronic databases, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar, were examined with keywords derived from MESH and by designing a detailed search strategy. The studies were then transferred to EndNote software version 20 and screened based on preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and according to the study input criteria. Then, the selected studies were reviewed to extract the data based on the objectives of the study. Results: Eventually 19 studies were included in the final review phase out of the 774 studies obtained during the systematic search. Five of these studies were specific to Iran. The present study showed that the knowledge of primary school teachers about managing dental traumas is insufficient, and it is necessary to train them on appropriate trauma management to improve their ability and performance. Conclusion: There are gaps in the management of dental traumas that confirm the need for effective education and intervention to improve the knowledge, performance, attitude, and ability of teachers.

Management of transverse root fractures in dental trauma.

The management of complex dental trauma can be modulated according to the emergencies that may arise over time. Clinical management of transverse root fractures may require different therapies based on situations, such as delay and error in the treatment of an avulsion trauma associated with apical third root fracture, patient's poor compliance, or external and internal root resorption. The primary aim of this article was to review studies regarding root fractures in the permanent dentition and root fracture management. The secondary aim was to present the inflammatory reaction and the complications (i.e., infections) that may occur if the International Association for Dental Traumatology (IADT) guidelines are not followed. In addition, a scenario is devised in which endodontic surgery, despite the baseline patient's conditions and negative prognosis, can help to inhibit the inflammatory root resorption and allow the preservation of soft and hard tissues within a long follow-up from the injury, for the purpose of demonstrating the next possible implant-prosthetic rehabilitation.

Evaluation of primary teeth affected by dental trauma in patients visiting a university clinic, part 2: dental injury types, treatment strategies, and complications.

This article focuses on treatments and complications in patients presenting dental trauma in primary teeth. Treatment alternatives begin with the decision of performing a procedure under clinical settings or pharmacological techniques (PC) in young children. Correct diagnosis and treatment are crucial to maximize the chances of a favorable outcome. The files of 320 patients aged 0-9years who presented to the Erciyes University Faculty of Dentistry Department for dental trauma management in primary teeth were evaluated in between 2018 and 2021 for 3-year period. The following information were extracted from patients' records: injury type, affected teeth, caries condition of the teeth, treatment preferences of the dentists. Additionally postoperative complications and their management were evaluated. While 63.1% of the traumatized teeth were caries-free, 35.8% of the teeth had caries. The most frequent dental injuries was simple crown fractures (42.9%), followed by complicated crown fractures (38.5%). Treatments were mostly done in clinical conditions (67.9%) and mostly patients attend regularly to follow-up visits (85.6%). Clinicians prefer more radical treatments under sedation or GA (92.4% extraction of injured tooth). Coronal discoloration was the most common complication, and 35.3% had pulp necrosis for longer term results. Follow-up decisions made after concussion in the primary teeth might be appropriate for the patient. Examination of the complication status of primary teeth with simple crown fracture injury revealed that 59.5% of patients did not have any complications. Follow-up decisions were found to be appropriate for crowns with coloration alone. All options should be considered to provide the best care for children after primary tooth trauma; this can be achieved by being informed about the treatment and its consequences, and if necessary, a positive prognosis can be achieved with an interdisciplinary approach.

Mothers’ knowledge and self-reported performance regarding the management of traumatic dental injuries and associated factors: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundDental trauma is common among children. It has negative effects on a child’s quality of life. Parental knowledge, especially among mothers is an important factor for the long-term success of this emergency. This study aimed to investigate mothers’ knowledge and self-reported performance regarding the management of traumatic dental injuries and associated socio-demographic factors.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, 277 mothers of children (8–12 years) attending the pediatrics department of Alborz dental school were studied by convenience sampling. The participants completed a valid reliable questionnaire about the management of traumatic dental injuries. The predictor variables were the child’s gender, maternal education and employment status, economic status, and accommodation status. The outcome variables were the mothers’ knowledge about the management of traumatic dental injuries (Eight statements with 10 scores) and self-reported performance including four case scenarios of traumatic dental injury (Five questions with 7 scores). Data were analyzed by T-test or One-way ANOVA to test the within-group changes, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Linear multiple regression to examine the effect of predictor variables on maternal knowledge and self-reported performance.ResultsThe mean score of mothers’ knowledge was 3.43; SD = 1.58 (total score ranged from 0 to 10). The mean score of mothers’ performance was 3.38; SD = 1.2 (total score ranged from 0 to 7). Mothers who work (p < 0.001) and mothers with high qualifications (p < 0.001) had higher knowledge. Furthermore, mothers who work (p = 0.011), mothers with high qualifications (p < 0.001), and those who have had previous experience with traumatic dental injuries (p < 0.001) had higher self-reported performance. The results of multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated the association between mothers’ knowledge with mothers’ education (β = 0.22, p = 0.001) and mothers’ employment status (β = 0.15, p = 0.017), while there is a relationship between mothers’ self-reported performance and mothers’ education (β = 0.27, p < 0.001).ConclusionSince the means of mothers’ knowledge and performance scores regarding dental trauma management, were less than half of the obtainable scores as well as mothers have a crucial role in the children’s oral health, it is important to increase the mothers’ knowledge and improve their performance in this context. Therefore, running educational programs is necessary for this respect.
