Abstract

Aim This paper reports the results of a fifteen-years study carried out at the Dentoalveolar trauma study Centre of the University of Cagliari Dental Department, on treatment modes utilised for the recovery of periodontal injuries in primary dentition .Materials and Methods The data referred to dental injuries were collected and recovered according to Andreasen's dental trauma Classification: clinical Signs and symptoms, patient's age and gender, lesion site.The Authors focused their attention on intrusive luxation in pimary dentition, which are a very frequent trauma in children between 1-4 years of age. Results This careful conservative approach allowed the repositioning of about 60% of the 85 intruded teeth examined.It substantially reduced the number and severity of undesiderable sequelae, both local( enamel-hypoplasia) and occlusal(tooth retention), so that only in 25 % of the followed-up cases damages of the successor tooth were found in the permanent dentition.Conclusion The author conclude their study emphasizing that all those involved in paediatric Dentistry must be familiar with periodontal injuries and trained in their treatment, particularly as regard intrusive luxation in primary dentition.
