ABSTRACT
Treatment of dental trauma should be planned based on a multidisciplinary approach. It is knownthat the maintenance of oral health in these situations depends not only on the viability of dentaltissues, but also on the periodontal damage occurred and the emergency therapeutic proceduresperformed. Aim:
The purpose of this epidemiological retrospective study was to assess theperiodontal involvement in traumatized teeth treated at the Piracicaba Dental School/,UNICAMPDental Trauma Attendance Service (DTAS), during a period of 4 years.Methods:
Clinical chartsof patients (n=203) treated between 2006 and 2009 at DTAS were retrospectively analyzed.Results:
A total of 295 traumatized teeth were assessed about history, type of dental trauma, andperiodontal tissue damage detected during clinical and radiographic examination. Moreover, thetreatment associated with periodontal damage resolution was also determined. Of the 295traumatized teeth, 184 had periodontal damage (62.3%) and from this total, crown-root fractureswith invasion of biological width were found in 42% of the cases, followed by bone injury (30%).Regarding the periodontal treatment performed, periodontal surgery to re-establish the biologicalwidth prevailed between procedures with 39% of the cases.Conclusions:
It could be concludedthat Periodontics has an essential role in the multidisciplinary approach for the treatment of traumatizedpatients and that the conjunct work is important to re-establish the overall oral health.
