Dental Trauma - Avulsion

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Tooth replantation: Avulsed teeth were replanted according to the International Academy of Dental Traumatology guidelines (IADT)

Study summary

Dental traumatology is a field of dentistry , especially in pediatric age, but also in adulthood with permanent dentition. Dental trauma has a higher incidence in preschool, school-age, and adolescent patients, accounting for about 5% of injuries for which the intervention of a specialist physician is required. Traumatic avulsion of permanent teeth accounts up to 0.5-16% of all dental injuries and is considered one of the true emergencies in dentistry.The treatment of choice in case of traumatic avulsion of permanent teeth is the quickest-as-possible replantation. The primary objectives of this prospective study were to evaluate the incidence of complications and survival rates of replanted teeth over time. The secondary objectives were to assess and to examine the correlation between the development of complications and factors such as extra-oral time, storage media, root maturity and the presence of alveolar fractures.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Tooth survival — 2 weeks after trauma
  Tooth survival was defined as the presence of the tooth in the oral cavity at the time of follow-up. Tooth survival is assessed at each follow-up visit after replantation following IADT guidelines.
• Tooth survival — 4 weeks after trauma
  Tooth survival was defined as the presence of the tooth in the oral cavity at the time of follow-up. Tooth survival is assessed at each follow-up visit after replantation following the IADT guidelines.
• Tooth survival — 3 months after trauma
  Tooth survival was defined as the presence of the tooth in the oral cavity at the time of follow-up. Tooth survival is assessed at each follow-up visit after replantation following the IADT guidelines.
• Tooth survival — 6 months after trauma
  Tooth survival was defined as the presence of the tooth in the oral cavity at the time of follow-up. Tooth survival is assessed at each follow-up visit after replantation following the IADT guidelines.
• Tooth survival — 12 months after trauma
  Tooth survival was defined as the presence of the tooth in the oral cavity at the time of follow-up. Tooth survival is assessed at each follow-up visit after replantation following the IADT guidelines.
• Tooth survival — 24 months after trauma
  Tooth survival was defined as the presence of the tooth in the oral cavity at the time of follow-up. Tooth survival is assessed at each follow-up visit after replantation following the IADT guidelines.
• Tooth survival — 36 months after trauma
  Tooth survival was defined as the presence of the tooth in the oral cavity at the time of follow-up. Tooth survival is assessed at each follow-up visit after replantation following the IADT guidelines.
• Tooth survival — 48 months after trauma
  Tooth survival was defined as the presence of the tooth in the oral cavity at the time of follow-up. Tooth survival is assessed at each follow-up visit after replantation following the IADT guidelines.
• Tooth survival — 60 months after trauma
  Tooth survival was defined as the presence of the tooth in the oral cavity at the time of follow-up. Tooth survival is assessed at each follow-up visit after replantation following the IADT guidelines.
