Dentoalveolar trauma
Published in John Dudley Langdon, Mohan Francis Patel, Robert Andrew Ord, Peter Brennan, Operative Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2017
Dental avulsion is defined by a tooth that is avulsed from the alveolus in its entirety. The goal is to find and identify the missing tooth or teeth. Each situation is unique and should be treated on a case-by-case basis. Severe dental caries or periodontal disease may be a contraindication for replacing an avulsed tooth. Patients with severe medical co-morbidities or immunosuppression may not be candidates for replantation of an avulsed tooth. Debris should gently be removed from the tooth without scrubbing it.

Collected data on the injury profiles affecting the facial and dental areas are displayed in Table 2. Fractures of the mandible (n = 37, 56.1%) were the most frequent facial fracture type, followed by unilateral Zygomatico-maxillo-orbital complex (ZMO) fractures (n = 19, 28.8%). A total of 41 dental injuries occurred in 18 (27.3%) of the included patients. The most common type of dental injury was tooth luxation (n = 21, 51.2%), the next most common was tooth fracture (n = 18, 43,9%), while the least encountered dental injury was dental avulsion, which occurred in 2 patients and accounted for 4.9% of recorded dental injuries.

Given the criteria for inclusion and exclusion, 214 participants were excluded for the following reasons: 123 were not of Spanish origin, four were premature, five had agenesis of one or more primary teeth, nine had been diagnosed with syndromes or pathologies affecting tooth eruption, three had a history of dental avulsion, two were conceived through artificial insemination techniques, whose background (unknown) could lead to biases in the study, and for 68 consent was not obtained from parents.
