AB  - Traumatic  dental  injuries  are  common  and  can  have  significant  lasting  consequences  for  the  patient.  Recent  estimates  indicate  over  three  quarters  of  a  million  annual  Emergency  Department  visits  in  the  United  States  for  dental-related  complaints.1  Nearly  12%  of  these  are  related  to  some  form  of  trauma.1  It  has  been  estimated  that  approximately  50%  of  children  will  sustain  traumatic  dental  injuries,  and  the  majority  of  these  are  to  the  permanent  dentition.2–4  Violence  of  a  suspicious  nature,  such  as  domestic  or  child  abuse,  must  always  be  considered  when  evaluating  dental  injuries.  The  goals  of  the  emergent  treatment  of  dental  trauma  are  to  maintain  patient  comfort  and  tooth  vitality,  while  ensuring  prompt  dental  follow-up  for  definitive  care.
