“…Many papers concerning orofacial trauma in paediatric dentistry have been recently published [39, 40]; however, published papers do not fully address all the different clinical problems of dental traumatology, limiting to dealing with single aspects [41–44]. As a result, a useful and practice guidelines for clinicians (paediatricians, Emergency Care Unit staff or dentists) who face orofacial trauma in an emergency setting is needed [45].…”

Dental trauma is a frequent occurrence in children and adolescent and a correct diagnosis and treatment are essential for a favourable long-term prognosis. The present Guidelines aim to formulate evidence-based recommendations to assist dentists, paediatricians, surgeons, teachers, school and sport staff, parents in the prevention and first aid of dental trauma in children and to provide a careful assessment of the medico-legal implications, reviewing the first draft of the guidelines published in 2012. A multidisciplinary panel on the behalf of the Italian Ministry of Health and in collaboration with the WHO Collaborating Centre for Epidemiology and Community Dentistry of Milan, developed this document. The following four queries were postulated: 1) Which kind of precautions the health personnel, parents, sports and educational personnel must activate in order to prevent the dental trauma damage? 2) How an orofacial trauma in paediatric patients should be managed either in the Emergency Care Unit and/or in private dental office? 3) What criteria should be adopted by a dentist private practitioner to fill in a certificate in cases of dental and/or tempomandibular joint trauma occurring in children and adolescents? 4) What are the elements that should lead clinicians to suspect a non-accidental dental trauma? A systematic review and analysis of the scientific literature published in English, Italian and French from 2007 to 2017 regarding dental trauma in children and adolescents aged 0–18 years was performed, and about 100 papers were analysed and included. The following four domains were analysed and discussed: Dental Trauma Prevention Strategies and Health Education, First aid in orofacial and dental trauma, Certificate of the dental trauma, Oral and dental signs of child abuse and neglect. Twenty-eight recommendations were draw up and codified by the panel according to the Methodological handbook, produced by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, in order to guide physicians in the prevention and first aid of dental trauma in children and adolescents. In addition, a careful assessment of the medico-legal implications is reported in this document.

“…In this regard, the pediatrician, more than any other medical figure, should have the necessary knowledge to correctly handle emergencies such as these, as well as being able to provide parents with professional advice for all aspects concerning the health of the child. This should include basic knowledge of the most common injuries [15]. The limit of our study is represented by not having been able to include minor dental traumas, compared to those reported by us, which could however lead to the onset of complications affecting the elements involved.…”

“…Studies in literature indicate that in industrialized countries, about one in five children had TDIs involving permanent teeth before leaving school [14]. The most exposed are children between the age of 1 and 2, regarding primary teeth, and the age of seven and nine, for permanent dentition [15]. Luxation injuries are the most common TDIs in the primary dentition, whereas crown fractures are more commonly reported for permanent dentition [2,16,17].…”

Background: The objective of this study is to evaluate the application of National guidelines for prevention and clinical management of traumatic dental injuries (NGPCMTDI) in developmental age published by the Italian Ministry of Health. Methods: In the present retrospective and multicenter study, 246 patients who underwent dental injury were selected to assess the management of the traumatic event compiled with the protocol provided by the National guidelines. Each health worker involved completed a form related to the dental injury in order to standardize the collected data. Two reference centers have been identified for data collection. Analyses for comparisons between groups were performed using the X2 test for categorical variables or by Fisher exact test as appropriate. Statistical significance was assumed at p < 0.05. Results: Evaluating the distribution by age we concluded that: 27.24% of the enrolled patients were aged 1–5 years, 51.63% 6–10 years, and 19.92% 11–17 years. The dental injuries occurred in 10.16% of the situations at home, 50.81% at school, 28.86% during recreation, and 9.35% at the gym. The deciduous dentition is involved in 34.96% of the traumas while the permanent dentition is involved in 69.51%. Conclusion: From the present study it emerged that the National guidelines are not uniformly applied.

“…Dental avulsion is a complex traumatic injury characterized by complete displacement of the tooth out of the alveolus, which exposes it to the external environment and causes disruption of the neurovascular bundle and periodontal ligament . Its occurrence ranges from 0.5 to 16% of all types of dentoalveolar trauma . It occurs most often in children aged between 7 and 12 years, in most cases affecting maxillary central incisors .…”
