Research has shown that there are five million teeth knocked-out each year in the United States which commonly include school-aged children, military trainees, fighters and accidents. Especially in school children, teeth are knocked-out during school activities or sporting events such as contact sports, football, basketball, and hockey.
Losing a tooth can cause the victim to be physically and emotionally sensitive, as the resulting empty site is not aesthetically pleasing and requires prompt attention. If not dealt with in time, long-term consequences include shifting of remaining teeth with resulting misalignment and periodontal disease.
As early as 400 BCE, Hippocrates suggested that displaced teeth should be replaced and fastened to adjacent teeth with wire. Modern emergency dental treatments are Trinity Dental Centers focus on reimplanting teeth as soon as possible, minimizing periodontal damage, and preventing infection of the pulp tissue.
The term Dental Avulsion is used to refer to the complete displacement of a tooth from its socket in alveolar bone owing to trauma.
In normal conditions, a tooth is connected to the socket by means of the periodontal ligament. When a tooth is knocked-out, that ligament stretches and splits in half. Maintaining the life of the cells that remain attached to the root surface is essential to successful replantation.
Trinity Dental Centers have scientifically designed storage media with proper osmolality (cell pressure), pH, nutritional metabolites and glucose that provide an ideal original environment to the knocked out tooth and increases the success rate of replanted knocked-out teeth to over 90% when used within an hour of the accident.
If you or your loved ones have fallen victim to a knocked out tooth, then rush to the experts at Trinity Dental Centers who will treat Dental Avulsion as a real dental emergency in which prompt management within 20–40 minutes of injury is taken.
The skilled team at Trinity Dental will rinse the avulsed permanent tooth in tap water, taking meticulous care as to not damage the surface of the root which may have living periodontal fiber and cells. After the tooth and mouth are cleaned an attempt can be made to re-plant it in its original socket within the alveolar bone and later splinted by our dentists for several weeks.
Failure to re-plant the avulsed tooth within the first 40 minutes after the injury may result in a less favorable prognosis for the tooth. If the mouth is sore or injured, Trinity Dental experts will cleanse the wound and take stitches if needed with local anesthesia and an update of tetanus immunization if the mouth was contaminated with soil.
In case of an avulsed primary tooth--re-plantation is not carried out to avoid damage to the permanent dental crypt.
At Trinity Dental Centers avulsion treatment is directed at avoiding or minimizing the resultant inflammation which may occur due to attachment damage and pulpal infection.
One week to ten days after the replantation, the dental pulps of the replanted teeth are removed and a root canal treatment is completed within two months.
Trinity Dental Experts recommend that all dental traumas should be supported by good oral hygiene with 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash, a soft and cold diet, and avoidance of smoking for several days to ensure periodontal ligaments regeneration. The follow-up visits to Trinity Dental Centers will include a watchful eye for the development of root resorption.
