 First Aid Advice

1. Make sure it is a permanent tooth ² don·t

reimplant deciduous teeth
2. Keep patient calm and find the knocked out
tooth. Pick it up only by the crown.
 First Aid Advice To Parents
1. Make sure it is a permanent tooth ² don·t reimplant
deciduous teeth
2. Keep patient calm and find the knocked out tooth. Pick
it up only by the crown. Avoid touching the root.
3. If tooth dirty, wash it briefly ( 10 secs) under cold
running water and reposition it. Try and encourage
parent/patient to reimplant tooth.
4. Bite on a handkerchief to hold it in position
5. If this is not possible, place the tooth in a suitable storage
medium eg milk or saline, not water
6. Get emergency treatment immediately i.e. A&E or
private dentist. If you know a patient is coming in, call
on call dentist.
 ON PRESENTATION AT A&E

1. If tooth has already been reimplanted, then check

position is OK and call on call dentist
2. Organise tetanus shot if needed
3. If tooth hasn·t been reimplanted, then immediately
reimplant tooth and then call on call dentist. To do
this, rinse out the socket with saline and then
reimplant. Sometimes LA may be needed.
 LUXATED TEETH
1. Clinical exam ² check for
‡ Teeth out of position with respect to their
adjacent teeth. Patients are usually the best
judge of that ² doesn·t feel right. Can be subtle
or blindingly obvious!
 LUXATED TEETH
1. Clinical exam ² check for
‡ Teeth out of position with respect to their
adjacent teeth. Patients are usually the best
judge of that ² doesn·t feel right. Can be subtle
or blindingly obvious!

2. Contact on call dentist with history and extent

of displacement. Generally we will want to
reposition and splint immediately.
 FRACTURED TEETH

1. Clinical exam ² check for

‡ Tooth mobility ² if excessive, contact on call dentist
‡ Pulp exposure ² bleeding from inside the tooth, not
the gum.
 FRACTURED TEETH

1. Clinical exam ² check for

‡ Tooth mobility ² if excessive, contact on call dentist
‡ Pulp exposure ² bleeding from inside the tooth, not
the gum.
2. If pulpal exposure, call on call dentist. If not, advise
to see dentist next morning ² improved outcome if
treated earlier. Also, need radiographic assessment
to see if there is a root fracture.
3. Worth saving the broken fragment in water ²
sometimes it can be bonded back on.
 MANDIBULAR FRACTURES

1. History of trauma
2. Extra ² orally
‡ Possible paraesthesia ² lip/cheek
‡ Deformity in bony contour
‡ Unnatural mobility and bony crepitus
‡ Limitation of mandibular movements depending on the
site and degree of displacement of the fractures
‡ Pain during opening, protrusion and lateral excursions
 MANDIBULAR FRACTURES
INTRA-ORALLY

‡Bruising and gingival lacerations are common

‡Sublingual haematoma is characteristic of mandibular

fractures
 MANDIBULAR FRACTURES
INTRA-ORALLY

‡Bruising and gingival lacerations are common

‡Sublingual haematoma is almost pathognomonic of

mandibular fractures

‡Derangement of the occlusion and that depends on the

site and degree of displacement of the fracture ²
classically displaced fractures of the condylar area lead
to the typical anterior open bite.
