Facial injuries in basketball players.

As the popularity of basketball increases and the style of the game becomes more physical, there is an increasing number of basketball-related injuries. Although most facial injuries sustained while playing basketball are relatively minor, severe and permanent injuries do occur. This article reviews the most common facial injuries incurred by basketball players with emphasis on diagnosis, early treatment, and prevention.

[Maxillo-facial aspects of dento-alveolar trauma].

The management of oral injuries requires expertise in dental and medical cares. The need for a multidisciplinary assessment, including medical, has to be ascertained early. Diagnostic and management procedures are described as well as concomitant lesions such as maxillofacial bony fractures.

[Root canal therapy opportunity in replanted teeth due to injury.].

PURPOSE: To investigate the opportunity of different root canal therapies in replantation of tooth due to injury. METHODS: 49 cases with teeth luxation were randomly divided into three groups. In group A, the pulp was removed before replanted, and calcium hydroxide was filled in root canals and condensated routinely after half a year. In group B, the pulp was removed one week after being replanted. In group C, the pulp was removed until pulp disease. RESULTS: The effect of group A(81.25%) and B (94.44%) was better than group C (53.33%), P<0.05. And the effect of group A and B was similar. CONCLUSION: It's an ideal method to replant luxated tooth within 3 hours with removal of pulp tissue, root canal filling with calcium hydroxide one week after replantation of tooth and condensated routine root canal therapy after half a year.

[Oro-dental injuries during intubation anesthesia].

Injuries to the oro-dental tissue are still one of the most frequent mishaps during endotracheal intubation and general anaesthesia. However, damage to the soft and hard tissues in most cases involves oral structures already showing advanced pathogenic alterations. Injuries to the teeth are therefore rather more often due to the disease of the teeth than to mistakes during anaesthesia. The risk of injuries to the teeth can be ascertained by means of a presurgical inspection of the oral cavity and evaluation of the individual anatomical conditions in the head and neck region, which may well interfere with the endotracheal intubation. In contrast to anaesthetic pitfalls causing severe disturbance of general health, dental trauma can be treated with quite satisfying functional and aesthetic results. However, in order to maintain conditions for the complete restitution of injured teeth immediate dental therapy is recommended. In preterm infants which need mechanical ventilation during the postnatal period direct laryngoscopy as well as mechanical alterations caused by an oral tube can cause injuries to the tooth germs of the first and second dentition and deformation of the maxillary skeleton. In consequence the patient will need intensive therapy of the resulting disturbances for several years. This review gives information about the causes and types of injuries to the oral and maxillofacial region during general anaesthesia. In addition, the anatomical conditions and pathological changes associated with an increased risk for oro-dental injuries and the facilities for prevention are discussed. Finally, the main aspects of emergency treatment of injuries to the dental hard tissues are presented.

Fractured-tooth fragment reattachment.

Traumatic injuries with loss of tooth fragments in the incisor region are common, especially among children and adolescents. Reattachment of tooth fragments is an important technique for restoring fractured teeth and provides advantages over resin-composite restoration, including better esthetic appearance, maintenance of tooth form and color, minimal tooth loss, increased wear resistance, and, thus, improved function.

A retrospective analysis of oral and maxillofacial injuries in motor vehicle accidents.

PURPOSE: To clarify the relations of the severity of oral and maxillofacial injuries from traffic accidents (TAs) to seating position and the use of restraint systems. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Hospital records were reviewed for all patients who had sustained oral or maxillofacial injuries in TAs and then were admitted to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dokkyo University School of Medicine (Tochigi, Japan), from 1994 through 2003. RESULTS: A total of 201 patients, with a mean injury severity score (ISS) of 7.9 +/- 7.6, were included in this study. Although patients with any oral or maxillofacial injury with an Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) score of 2 or more had extremely low ISSs, hospitalization was relatively long. The ISS and AIS score of the head or neck were significantly higher in unrestrained drivers (12.4 +/- 11.2, 1.2 +/- 1.4, respectively) than in restrained drivers (6.5 +/- 4.6, 0.4 +/- 1.0, respectively). However, AIS scores of the face were similar in unrestrained drivers (1.9 +/- 0.7) and restrained drivers (1.7 +/- 0.5). Furthermore, the incidence of maxillofacial fractures did not differ between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION: Because wearing seat belts cannot prevent all oral and maxillofacial injuries in motor vehicle occupants, both physicians and engineers must pay greater attention to the mechanisms of oral and maxillofacial injuries in TAs.

The forensic evaluation of dental injuries in Istanbul, Turkey.

When a person is wounded in Turkey, he first attends hospital for treatment. The hospital is responsible for a report describing his injuries and their treatment and prognosis. The patient is then scanned by a specialist in forensic medicine who provides a final official report. In that report the lesions, the prognosis (including whether the injuries are life threatening or not) and the projected days away from daily activity are shown. In this study 18,317 cases which were examined in the second and the third Specialization Board of the Council of Forensic Medicine during 1996 were analyzed. Among them 112 cases were dental injuries. Dental injuries are reviewed according to their sex, causation, detail of injury, and they are compared to other studies.

Early treatment of facial trauma.

Early local care of maxillofacial trauma involves identification and diagnosis of the injuries and early consultation with the appropriate specialists (ie, plastic surgeon, ophthalmologist, otolaryngologist, oral and maxillofacial surgeon). Treatment of the injuries should proceed from the inside mucosal surface toward the cutaneous surface of the face, after occlusal patterns have been established and preliminary fixation of maxillary and mandibular fractures has been effected. Closure of through-and-through lacerations from the inside out and establishment of the mandible as a stable plane against which the remainder of the face may be oriented (the "inside out and bottom up" approach) provide an excellent basis for later definitive rehabilitation.

Dental trauma in children: a survey.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the type and prevalence of injuries presenting to the pediatric dental service of the Child Nat Med Ctr. During the 12 months survey, 227 patients presented. This patient group consisted of 159 males (M) and 68 females (F) (2.34 M to 1.0 F); 96 (62 M, 34 F) were less than 5 y age; 85 (64 M, 21 F) were 5 to 12 y age; 46 (33 M, 13 F) were greater than or equal to 13 y age. The leading cause of injury was falls (105/227; 46%). Approx 50% (115/227) of the injuries occurred between May and September; 132 children sustained soft tissue injury (88 intraoral; 20 extraoral; 24 intra and extraoral); 61 permanent teeth were fractured in 44 children; 36 primary teeth were fractured in 31; 133 permanent teeth in 63 and 148 primary teeth in 79 patients sustained a displacement type of injury; 13 presented with an alveolar fracture. These observations extend earlier information regarding the epidemiology of dental injuries in childhood.
