title: The role for 'reminders' in dental traumatology: 3. The minimum data set that should be recorded for each type of dento-alveolar trauma - a review of existing evidence.
abstract: The aim of this study was to establish the prognostic factors recorded at the time of diagnosis or initial treatment that affect pulp and periodontal healing and tooth survival. A search strategy and quality assessment method was established to review the literature. The significant factors identified are listed for each type of dento-alveolar injury. These factors identified are the gold standard against which quality assessments of dento-alveolar trauma records can be compared and all new computer or paper-based methods for recording any type of dento-alveolar trauma should aim to record this minimum information.
