Hand Book on Dental Traumatology

Facial trauma is a major cause of injury, often resulting from accidents such as motor vehicle crashes or falls. While maxillofacial injuries themselves are rarely life-threatening, they are frequently accompanied by other serious injuries that increase the risk of mortality. Dental trauma, particularly in children, can lead to significant functional, aesthetic, and psychological consequences. Effective management of dental trauma requires a multi-disciplinary approach, encompassing diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up care. This book provides a comprehensive guide on diagnosing and managing traumatic dental injuries, with a focus on systematic examination, timely interventions, and the latest treatment protocols, including revascularization techniques, to ensure optimal outcomes for patients.
