Injuries of teeth

The injury in medical treatment is a disturbance of integrity of bone or muscular tissue. Injuries of teeth are classified on acute and chronic. They are observed at people at different age, but, of course, children are most often subject to these disturbances. This fact is explained by the fact that the childhood – the most active period in human life. At the same time, at children the self-preservative instinct and soft structure of bone tissues is not developed yet. Injuries of teeth at children are most often observed at the age of 1-3 years (tooth dislocation is most characteristic) and at secondary dentition (at the age of 7-12 years).

Injuries of teeth are subdivided on:

• Chronic injuries of teeth (are most often connected with professional activity of the person). To them work on productions with the increased content of acids and alkalis, and also addictions of people brings (keeping in teeth of a mouthpiece, tube or a pencil, a perekusyvaniye of threads, etc.). Chronic injuries of teeth are characterized by formation of defects (узур), deleting of rezhuzhy edge, an erosion.
• Acute injuries of teeth. Acute injuries of teeth in 30-40% of cases serve as a cause of destruction or full loss of foreteeth at children. The reasons of an acute injury of teeth at children are so various, everything is how various, than the child is engaged. It can be games, sports occupations, overindulgence at school is simple. Lead to an acute injury of teeth of adults and children and falling on firm objects or surfaces, blows, traumatizing by firm parts of objects, etc.

Classification of injuries of teeth

• Bruises of teeth – mechanical impacts on tooth which do not lead to disturbance of its integrity. Can be followed by hemorrhage in a pulp because of a rupture of a neurovascular bunch. The initial complaint of the child to insignificant pains at a nadkusyvaniye. When diagnosing morbidity at percussion (percussion) comes to light, mobility of the injured tooth, as a rule, insignificant.

Treatment provides antiinflammatory procedures, an exception of the injured tooth of occlusion (bite), a sparing diet and rest

• Tooth dislocation (traumatic allotopia) – is characterized by tooth shift concerning a hole. It occurs at the expense of stretching or a rupture of a periodontium and damage by a fang of walls of a hole. The injured tooth can change the situation: towards the next teeth, towards an oral cavity to turn around a longitudinal axis, to plunge into a bone tissue

Treatment of an injury of teeth in the form of "dislocation" is traditionally made by overlaying of the tire bracket or tire kappa for fixing of the injured tooth with people around 2 - 3 teeth. Further treatment is appointed by the doctor depending on tooth injury degree. Obligatory antiinflammatory therapy.

Injuries of teeth at children in the form of dislocation are most often observed in an upper jaw on the site of placement of cutters and are followed by an acute pain. At complaints to pain the urgent address to the stomatologist is necessary.

• Loss of tooth happens in connection with a rupture of fabric of a periodontium, a circular sheaf. It is characterized, of course, by lack of the injured tooth, hypostasis of soft tissues, bleeding.

For treatment of this injury of teeth, depending on many reasons (what tooth is lost (milk or constant), what effects for soft tissues, bones and holes) the doctor appoints treatment which includes obligatory antiinflammatory therapy and hygienic procedures. Afterwards prosthetics of the lost tooth is possible.

• The tooth fracture in the field of a crown – is characterized otlomy tooth enamels, otlomy crowns within dentine or otlomy all crown.

At break off crowns in the field of dentine or break off complaint enamels from the child can arrive only on existence of visible defect as this type of an injury of teeth at children is not followed by pain. If there is a tooth fracture around dentine or all crown, then it is followed by pain at change of temperature condition (reception of cold or hot food), and respectively the complaint of the child to pain, unpleasant feelings (a keen edge which scratches a cheek or language).

Ways of treatment of this injury of teeth are appointed by the stomatologist after definition of severity of an injury and possible effects. It can be, both grinding of keen edges, and use of sealing materials. Up to removal of the damaged part and installation of a prosthesis. That is the decision of the doctor depends on tooth injury effects.
