Trauma as a possible etiologic factor in maxillary canine impaction.

A chain of events in the development of the dentition following trauma is described. Shortening of the root of the lateral incisor or displacement of the tooth bud, both as a sequel to trauma, may affect the path of eruption of the adjacent canine after dental injury. Special attention should be paid to the further development and eruption of the directly and indirectly affected teeth.

Urinary catecholamine levels in children with and without a history of dentofacial injuries.

This study was conducted to investigate the existence of any differences in the urinary catecholamine levels in children with and without a history of dentofacial injuries. Three hundred fourteen children, boys and girls, aged 6 to 8 years were included in this study. A questionnaire was distributed to the parents to collect information about the child's history of dentofacial injuries. A 24-h urine sample was collected for each subject and a representative sample (25 ml) was analyzed by the HPLC technique to assay the catecholamine content. Of the examined children 68 (43 boys and 25 girls) had a history of dentofacial injury and constituted the experimental group. A control group of 68 children (43 boys and 25 girls) without a history of dentofacial injury was matched by age and sex. The Student t-test was used to identify any differences in urinary catecholamine levels between the two groups. The 95% probability was used. The results showed statistically significant differences in the mean values of epinephrine, while the differences in norepinephrine and dopamine were not significant. This study suggested that children with emotionally stressful states run a greater risk of having dentofacial injuries.

Project mouthguard: join the team to help our young athletes.

Project Mouthguard is a "win-win" situation for everyone involved. The athlete will be getting the best protection available for their dentition while they participate in school sports. The school will be able to prevent injuries, making sports participation safer and the job of the school's athletic trainer easier. Dentists will have an opportunity to do community service and help patients while also marketing their practice. The community will be aware of mouthguards, and those who participate in athletic activities can make more educated decisions on mouthguard use.
