Managing children and their families following injury to permanent teeth can feel overwhelming. This presentation provides a practical, evidence-based survival guide to the acute management of dental trauma in the permanent dentition, with a strong emphasis on getting the fundamentals right at first presentation for your paediatric patients.
Delegates will be guided through a structured and systematic approach to history-taking, clinical and radiographic assessment, diagnosis, and step-by-step management of traumatic dental injuries. The session will cover the full range of tooth fractures, luxation injuries, tooth avulsion, and associated soft tissue injuries, alongside discussion of contemporary techniques and materials. Particular emphasis will be placed on clinical decision-making in time-critical situations, communication with children and families, and recognising when referral is appropriate.
Real-world clinical cases will be used to illustrate practical tips and common pitfalls. By breaking down a potentially overwhelming clinical scenario into clear and achievable steps, this session aims to equip clinicians with the confidence and tools needed to optimise long-term outcomes for both the tooth and the child.
