Types of Emergency Dental Trauma

Before approaching us, find out why we treat our patients.

• • Dental Trauma

Dental trauma can take place without any warning. Accidental damage to dental structures such as teeth, jaw bones and gums and should be treated immediately. Here is a list of the different types that can occur:

• • Enamel Infraction

It refers to a crack in the white tooth structure or in the enamel without the loss of tooth structure. A minor crack may not require any treatment. But, for larger infractions, etching and sealing of the crack with resin is needed to prevent infraction lines from discolouring the tooth.

• • Enamel Fracture

It involves the loss of tooth structure from a fractured tooth. This can be treated by restoring the tooth with composite resin or by bonding the broken fragments onto the damaged tooth.

• • Root Fracture of a Tooth

It is defined as a cementum and dentin fracture that may extend to the dental pulp. The treatment depends on the extent of the fracture.

• • Complex Fracture of a Tooth

When all the layers of the tooth are affected, a complex fracture takes place that damages the clinical crown. The treatment depends on the depth of the injury. For critical cases, the tooth may be removed.

• • Subluxation

In this case, supporting structures are damaged by the loosening of a tooth without any displacement.

The other types of dental trauma are concussions, lateral luxation, intrusions, avulsions, extrusions and fractures of the mandibular.

• Injuries caused by sports

• Root canal treatment
• Oral infections
