<p>Traumatic Dental Injuries – Fractures and Luxations<br>LT Adam K. Harkrider, DC, USN and CAPT Terry D. Webb, DC, USN<br><br>Introduction<br>Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) occur at a high frequency. With 25% of all school age children experiencing a dental injury, and 33% of all adults, it is incumbent that dentists know how to manage such injuries. The purpose of this Clinical Update is to outline the treatment objectives and recent revisions in managing fractures and luxations from the International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT) guidelines for the management of traumatic dental injuries: 1. Fractures and luxations of permanent teeth. The IADT guidelines classify TDIs into three categories: fractures of teeth and alveolar bone, luxation injuries, and avulsions. This Clinical Update will focus only on fracture and luxation injuries. Avulsions will be addressed in a later Clinical Update.
