[Clinical classification of traumatic dental injuries].
In the world stomatological literature many more or less extensive clinical classification of posttraumatic damage to teeth are available. In the Polish stomatological school Ellis classification is used most frequently. However, this classification comprising nine classes of traumatic teeth damage is not sufficiently precise in the descriptions qualifying various classes. Moreover, the successive classes are not always logically arranged depending on the degree of damage. In view of this, the author has evolved another clinical classification of traumatic dental damage based on own clinical material and other classifications. The new classification is used in the Department of Developmental Age Stomatology in Zabrze. The base of the classification is the degree of damage to the dental tissues and the used therapeutic methods. Two-year experience with the classification showed that it is simple, sufficiently precise and easy for application by students and stomatologists.
