Management of dental trauma in a primary care setting

Martha Ann Keels et al. Pediatrics. 2014 Feb.

Abstract

The American Academy of Pediatrics and its Section on Oral Health have developed this clinical report for pediatricians and primary care physicians regarding the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of dental trauma in children aged 1 to 21 years. This report was developed through a comprehensive search and analysis of the medical and dental literature and expert consensus. Guidelines published and updated by the International Association of Dental Traumatology (www.dentaltraumaguide.com) are an excellent resource for both dental and nondental health care providers.

Keywords: dental injury; dental trauma; dentist; pediatrician; teeth; tooth.
