COURSE SYNOPSISPediatric dental trauma happens very often in daily life. When an oral or dental trauma happens, it can be a physical and psychological shock to both parents and children; thus, it often times may make the management of the situation more difficult for the dentist managing the emergency treatment. In the pediatric dental population, the dental trauma can involve both primary and permanent dentition. The treatment protocol is very different for primary and permanent dentition. In addition, the treatment is different by the extensiveness of the hard tissue and soft tissue involvement. It is crucial to identify complications of oral dental trauma and to provide long term follow-up.
