Abstract

The management of traumatic dental injuries is more a shade of gray than it is black and white because not all treatment procedures used for dental trauma management are fully evidence based. This chapter has highlighted some of the gray areas related to the treatment and outcome of traumatic dental injuries. Significant controversies in the management of luxation and avulsive injuries have been brought out. Adjunctive treatment such as antibiotic usage, tetanus vaccination, and pain management is also addressed.
