Product Description
Trauma to the teeth of children and adolescents poses a problem to many dental practitioners. By the very nature of such injuries, emergency treatment is usually needed but often a traumatised child or adolescent arrives in a dental practice when the dental practitioner has a fully booked clinic. Handbook of Dental Trauma has been specially written to provide a chairside 'what to do' guide to emergency treatment for such occasions and will enable dental practitioners to quickly and efficiently handle most cases of dental trauma. Instructions on follow up and longer term care of traumatic injuries are also given. The layout provides accessible text for quick reference, using bullet points and step by step instructions for treatment. Advice on accurate recoed keeping and preparation of legal reports is also given, as there are often potential legal implications in trauma cases. Handbook of Dental Trauma is an essential aid for practising dentists and dental undergraduates, as well as a useful revision tool for postgraduate dental students.
