Dental trauma refers to injuries to the teeth and the supporting tissues surrounding them. These injuries can result from external factors, including falls, collisions, traffic accidents, and sports activities. Trauma can manifest in various clinical presentations, such as cracks, fractures, avulsions, or luxations of the teeth, and can significantly affect both oral health and the individual's overall quality of life. Dental injuries are more common during childhood and adolescence. The first steps to be taken after trauma are controlling the pain, accurately assessing the extent of the injury, properly cleaning the traumatized teeth or tissues, and seeking professional dental care as soon as possible. Early intervention is one of the most critical factors determining the prognosis and treatment success of trauma. This book aims to provide clinicians with a scientific, evidence-based guide by comprehensively addressing the etiology, diagnostic principles, and current treatment approaches for traumatic dental injuries. I hope this work will serve as an up-to-date resource for all dentists in trauma management.
