Description
Summary:Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) are a serious public health problem. Epidemiology of dental trauma indicates that these injuries are more prevalent in child population of the world. Children are the sufferers in two‐thirds of all TDIs observed. Although being a major fraction, crown‐related fractures are a less severe form of TDIs with respect to their complications and sequelae. However, as with other types of traumatic injuries, the delay in seeking for immediate care following a traumatic injury and the lack of appropriate treatment may compromise long‐term outcomes. This article reviews the occurrence, management, and prognosis of crown‐related fractures in primary and permanent teeth in light of the recent literature.
