Key Features

  • Hundreds of full-color photographs and illustrations show concepts and depict case studies and treatment outcomes.
  • Step-by-step descriptions of treatment plans offer "recipes" for treating patients according to type of injury.
  • For each type of traumatic injury, you'll learn these key steps:
    • How to perform a correct initial assessment of the problem.
    • How to determine whether the patient suffers any related problems.
    • How to record the injury and its subsequent treatment in the patient record.
    • How to avoid future problems by ensuring that the entire tooth is treated — including any hidden injury to the pulp or dentin.
  • Information on etiology and epidemiology of problems promotes more effective treatment of specific injuries and conditions.
  • The Law and Dental Trauma chapter explains legal issues unique to treating dental injuries under emergency conditions.
  • Psychological Impact of Injuries chapter describes the reactions that trauma patients may have, and how dentists can improve treatment by providing the patient with emotional support and holistic management.
  • Chapters on hard tissue injuries focus on injuries to tooth/hard tissue anatomy — and one chapter examines soft tissue management — discussing types of trauma and their effects on surrounding oral tissues.
  • Introductory chapter provides an overview of topics discussed in the book.
  • Hundreds of references are listed alphabetically at the end of each chapter with research studies and current articles for further research.
  • An interdisciplinary approach includes periodontal, endodontic, and pediatric considerations for specific types of injuries.
