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.

Background/Aims Material and Methods Results Conclusion The recommendations for splinting are well established for the injuries of permanent dentition; however, ambiguity still exists for the injuries in primary dentition. Hence, this study aimed to determine the most appropriate dimensions of stainless steel wire and its extent, for achieving the physiologic mobility in primary dentition.This study was designed as an in vitro experiment by using a typodont model of primary dentition. The baseline mobility of primary maxillary incisors was calibrated to the physiologic mobility of natural primary incisors by using a Teflon tape wrapped around the roots of resin teeth. Splinting was done using a stainless steel wire of 0.2 mm (Group I), 0.3 mm (Group II), and 0.4 mm (Group III). These groups were subdivided (a, b, and c) on the basis of the extent of the splint, and pre splint mobility (Pre‐PV) and post‐splint mobility (Post‐PV) were tested by Periotest M. The splint effect was calculated by subtracting Post‐PVs and Pre‐PVs.The normal values of mobility in healthy human volunteers ranged from 10.5 to 13. The overall splint effect was higher in Group III irrespective of the extent of the splint, whereas it was found to be the lowest in Group I (b and c). The splint effect increased with the extent of the splint in all the groups. Among all the groups, the splint effect on the anchor teeth was observed to increase with the extent of the splint and the diameter of the wire.The mobility of the injured and anchor teeth splinted with 0.2‐mm stainless steel wire was similar to the pre‐splint and physiologic mobility. The most favorable extension was one tooth adjacent to the injured tooth on each side for both 0.2‐ and 0.3‐mm wires. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
