This article discusses the role of orthodontic treatment in preventing traumatic dental injuries (TDI). The article highlights that certain malocclusions, such as increased overjet and lip incompetence, can increase the risk of TDI, particularly in young boys and girls. Early orthodontic intervention through the use of braces or removable appliances can help reposition the teeth and reduce the likelihood of dental injuries. Scientific reviews support the effectiveness of early orthodontic treatment in reducing the incidence of dental trauma. However, other factors should also be considered when deciding whether to initiate orthodontic treatment at a young age. [Extracted from the article]

This article discusses the role of dental professionals in the prevention and management of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs). The primary prevention of TDIs involves educating individuals participating in sports or other activities at risk of injury, as well as parents, coaches, and administrators. Dentists can provide preventive care by recognizing risks, offering guidance on protective devices, and providing education through various channels. Secondary prevention relies on dental professionals being knowledgeable about the latest guidelines for TDI management and being available for consultations. The article also highlights the unique challenges of managing trauma in children under 6 years old and emphasizes the importance of instilling a positive attitude in injured children.

Introduction: The wire composite splint as a general rule is placed on the middle third of labial surface of the tooth. This is due to ease of application, better isolation, and fewer chances of contamination. However, these assumptions are opinion-based, with no scientific evidence to support them. In addition, to best of our knowledge no research has been carried out to evaluate the effect of position of wire splints on the mobility of the affected tooth and anchor teeth.Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the cervico-incisal position of splinting wire on the mobility of a replanted tooth and anchor teeth in a cadaveric model.Methodology: Three cadavers (one female, 45 years old and two males, each 40 years old) were included in the study. periotest S was used to assess physiologic-tooth-mobility in three cadavers at baseline and after "extraction-replantation-wire-composite" splinting-protocol.Results: Greatest splint effect for horizontal-mobility was found to be 9.33 ± 0.57 for Cadaver-I (incisal-third), whereas it was highest (3.66 ± 2.51) for vertical-mobility in Cadaver-II (cervical third).Conclusion: Middle third position of wire composite splint have lowest splint effect on both horizontal and vertical mobility of replanted teeth, thus rendering the most favorable position for the establishment of physiologic mobility.

Diverse consequences to the trauma to primary dentition are sometimes difficult to explain. This report describes a rare case of sequelae to primary tooth trauma. The traumatic episode which occurred at the age of 3 years resulted in abnormally large crowns of 11 and 21 with yellowish-brown discoloration and enamel hyperplasia. It also led to dilaceration in the root of 21 and enamel hypoplasia with discoloration in 12 and 22. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
