Description
Injuries in primary teeth are a frequent challenge in paediatric dental practice. Toddlers aged between two and three years are particularly at risk. These accidents usually occur in the home environment. Early and precise diagnosis is essential in order to initiate the correct treatment, minimise consequential damage and ensure the prognosis of the primary tooth.
The lecture provides an overview of the most common types of injury, explains modern treatment approaches and offers practical recommendations for the treatment of trauma in primary teeth.
Finally, as usual, we will take enough time for your questions and discussions.
