Management of Traumatic Dental Injuries in Young Patients – Case Series
Keywords:
Dental trauma, Young permanent tooth, Intrusion, Luxation, Primary teeth.
Abstract
Dental trauma is a severe traumatic injury involving alveolar bone and dental structures. Like any trauma, it can leave irreparable sequelae and even cause tooth loss. The present series of case reports highlight the management of such traumatic dental injuries that are seen in dental practice.
