Treatment of trauma to the primary and young permanent dentitions.
An overview of the various possibilities for trauma to the primary and young permanent dentition has been presented. Appropriate treatment procedures have been described. Advances in dental science have been great, and dental materials have become superior to what they were just a few years ago. The dentist must never forget the variabilities of human responses to any of the treatment techniques, however, and the dentist must never be dogmatic in approach. The dentist should be able to diagnose, interpret, and alter any of the treatment techniques as more scientific evidence is obtained.
