Flashcards: Fundamentals of Dentoalveolar Trauma Assessment — 22 cartões

Enamel infraction — definition?

A crack in enamel without substance loss.

Enamel fracture — key feature?

Loss of tooth substance, often chipped.

Enamel-dentine fracture — involves?

Both enamel and dentine, pulp unaffected.

Complicated crown fracture — involves?

Enamel, dentine, with pulp exposure.

Root fracture — classified by?

Location: apical, middle, or coronal third.

Luxation injuries — include?

Concussion, subluxation, extrusive, lateral, intrusive.

Supporting bone injury — example?

Alveolar fracture or luxation.

Concussion — tissue affected?

Periodontal ligament, no displacement.

Subluxation — characteristic?

Loosened tooth without displacement.

Extrusive luxation — displacement?

Tooth partially out of socket.

Lateral luxation — displacement?

Tooth displaced sideways, often alveolar fracture.

Intrusive luxation — displacement?

Tooth pushed into alveolar bone.

Alveolar fracture — involves?

Fracture of alveolar process, mobile segment.

Gingival contusion — caused by?

Blunt trauma causing bruise.

Gingival abrasion — result of?

Rubbing or scraping injury.

Gingival laceration — requires?

Suturing for proper healing.

Extraoral exam — assesses?

Facial swelling, bruising, deformity.

Intraoral exam — evaluates?

Soft tissue injuries, mobility, fractures.

Radiographic assessment — key tool?

Detects fractures, foreign bodies, displacements.

Photographic documentation — purpose?

Legal record, treatment planning, monitoring.

Supporting bone injuries — signs?

Mobility, displacement, swelling.

Periodontal injury — includes?

Concussion, luxation, alveolar fracture.
