Occurrence of primary incisor traumatism in Brazilian children: a house-by-house survey.

This paper presents the results of a house-by-house survey to learn the occurrence of dental injury to the primary teeth in Brazilian children from ten to seventy-two months of age. The study sample comprised 576 children, 295 boys and 281 girls living on sixty-six streets selected in an urban area (Bauru) in the state of Sao Paul, Brazil. There were 174 children (30.2 percent) with positive reports of injuries to the primary teeth. The results show the need of an educational program in order to prevent the occurrence of dental trauma.

[Orodental care before and after radiotherapy affecting the oral cavity].

This article shows that once topical fluoride applications have been prescribed, oral rehabilitations should be adapted to each patient. Post radiotherapy maintenance is also essential to maintain a good dental equilibrium. This adequate dental condition is the best preventive measure against late osteoradionecrosis of dental origin.

The management of dento-alveolar trauma--a review.

The clinician faced with the management of an insult to the masticatory system involving the dentition, its alveolar housing and the investing tissues often faces a formidable task. The restitution of traumatic derangement of oral-facial structures mandates a systematic approach to hard and soft tissue management with particular reference to the unique biological characteristics of this environment. A decidedly improved prognosis may be offered to the patient when basic principles are followed and the indicators for successful long term stabilization are realized. Awareness of these practical principles renders the dentist in general practice able to provide primary or referral care.

Common dental emergencies. Evaluation and management for emergency physicians.

Dental pain and disfigurements cause patients to seek care from the Emergency Department of hospitals. It is important for physicians to understand dental disease and trauma in order to diagnose, treat, and refer patients with dental emergencies efficiently. Many common dental problems have been discussed in clinical terms. Treatment and referral options were offered. Techniques for local dental anesthesia and avulsed tooth splinting were described.

Emergency dental care.

Health care workers in any setting who deal with children should have a basic understanding of the management of dental emergencies. Immediate action is required to reimplant the avulsed permanent tooth while primary teeth are not reimplanted. Dental infections are usually due to pulpal pathosis secondary to caries or trauma. They are managed like any other infection using drainage, antibiotics and removal of the source.

[Dental autograft: a supplementary dimension in dental practice].

This article deals with the possibilities and limitations of autogenous transplantations. In properly selected cases (trauma, missing teeth,...), this procedure might be a valuable alternative treatment. The indications for transplantation, the surgical technique, the recipient site and the choice of the transplant are discussed. The most important parameters which influence the success of a transplantation are: the stage of root formation, the atraumatic removal and insertion of the germ, the final position of the transplant and the post-operative fixation. Clinical examples will illustrate some indications.

[Calcitonin as an alternative treatment for root resorption].

Inflammatory root resorption is a common finding following trauma and will cause eventual destruction of the tooth root if left untreated. This study examined the effects of intrapulpal application of calcitonin, a hormone known to inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption, on experimental inflammatory root resorption induced in monkeys. Results were histologically evaluated using a morphometric technique and revealed that calcitonin was an effective medicament for the treatment of inflammatory root resorption. It was concluded that this hormone could be a useful therapeutic adjunct in difficult cases of external root resorption.
