Abstract

It has been seen that dental traumatic injuries are increasing in their frequency of occurrence. The outcome of dental injury is influenced by patient age, severity, and treatment offered. In most of the cases, immature permanent teeth with injuries have better prognosis than mature teeth with same injuries. Proper treatment of dental injuries can have a significant effect on outcome and prognosis especially in case of severe injury. For example timely replantation of an avulsed tooth followed by endodontic therapy can improve the prognosis of the tooth. Follow-up evaluation is also important for example if root resorption is detected early, it can be arrested.
