Book Description

Increased knowledge of treatment outcomes, combined with better techniques and materials, has led to improved management and more predictable results for victims of dental trauma. To save teeth and restore function and esthetics, the clinical approach to dental trauma requires accurate diagnosis of the severity and extent of injury, treatment of the acute aspect of the injury, and long-term follow-up and treatment of injury sequelae. Each chapter in this book is arranged by: description, examination and diagnosis: key points; treatment plan; and treatment procedures. Described is the biologic basis of healing and the benefits of allowing healing to be used in the management of traumatic dental injuries. Also described are the roles orthodontic and restorative modalities play in the management of dental trauma. More than 50 cases and 480 images – intraoral, radiographic, and schematic – elucidate the most effective approaches to all forms of dental trauma.

Excellent Resource/Tooth Trauma, August 9, 2000

This text is an excellent resource for any dentist to have in their office — should be required for all dental students!! Each page is full of detailed color diagrams and color photos. Topics covered include crown fracture, crown-root fracture, root fracture, concussion and subluxation, extrusive and lateral luxation, intrusive luxation, avulsioin, supporting structures, and trauma to primary dentition. Each case has supporting description, exam and diagnosis, and treatment plan/procedures outlined. Quintessence Books has been a primary resource for my dental library. This text is a valuable addition.
