RESUMO
Traumatised permanent anterior teeth can require endodontic treatment which may be immediate as part of acute trauma management, or delayed due to the development of sequelae. This paper will enable clinical decision making by exploring a range of situations in which endodontic treatment may be indicated, and also offer practical advice regarding effective endodontic treatment for paediatric dental trauma patients.Endodontic treatment of traumatised permanent teeth in paediatric patients is often challenging. However, with timely decision making and appropriate treatment, these teeth can often last throughout childhood and adolescence thus ensuring that a young patient does not have the social burden of a missing tooth and needing a prosthesis, and has the maximum restorative options available to them as they enter adulthood.

With dental services currently altered, dentists are being asked to provide advice, analgesia and antibiotics in situations where they would normally be offering operative care. Dentists are familiar with using analgesia for short courses for their patients, but using higher-dose regimes and for periods of over two weeks brings special challenges. This paper reviews the areas where special precautions are needed when using analgesia in the current situation.

This article aims to provide a practical clinician's guide to assessing and diagnosing dental trauma involving permanent teeth in children and young people, and for carrying out appropriate, guideline supported acute management. Timely referral to specialist paediatric dental services is crucial in more complex trauma presentations and will lead to improved outcomes for the dentition. Appropriate acute management by the primary clinician optimises the prognosis of any traumatised tooth and this article will focus on the emergency treatment of the traumatised permanent tooth.
