- 0:01hey everyone Ryan here and welcome back
- 0:03to our series on Endodontics like all my
- 0:06videos I'm going to focus only on the
- 0:08highest yield topics and now that we've
- 0:11covered the basics of endodontic
- 0:13treatment and procedural complications
- 0:16let's talk a little bit about traumatic
- 0:18injuries and the anodic treatment that
- 0:20can accompany this
- 0:23trauma so first I wanted to come up with
- 0:26an easy acronym to remember the basic
- 0:28protocol following traumatic accident so
- 0:31if a patient calls you and tells you
- 0:34their kid fell and knocked a tooth or if
- 0:37you yourself had such an injury you'd
- 0:39know what to
- 0:40do so my acronym is trauma although
- 0:45trauma is spelled a little bit
- 0:47interestingly with a V instead of a u
- 0:49but otherwise I think it works really
- 0:52really well so our T is for tetus
- 0:56booster and this is true for evulsion
- 0:59only and we'll talk more about this but
- 1:01an evulsion is where a tooth is knocked
- 1:04completely out of the socket and so in
- 1:08this situation you'd want a tetanus
- 1:10booster within the first 48 hours if
- 1:13that tooth had fallen in the dirt and
- 1:16got contaminated and the plan was to
- 1:19have it replanted in the
- 1:21socket our R is stands for radiographs
- 1:26and so for trauma you'd want at least
- 1:28one periapical radi Raph and we'll talk
- 1:31about situations where you actually want
- 1:33more than this for example for jaw
- 1:36trauma or suspected fracture a Panoramic
- 1:39X-Ray would be
- 1:42recommended our a stands for antibiotics
- 1:46and again this is for avulsions only in
- 1:49that um contaminated tooth situation you
- 1:52want to replant it want to prevent
- 1:54infection and take some
- 1:57antibiotics our U or I should say our v
- 2:01stands for Vitality
- 2:03testing and so this involves the
- 2:05electric pulp testing and coal test we
- 2:08talked about in a previous video and
- 2:10remember we talked about how they don't
- 2:13actually test for True vitality and
- 2:16that's important here because false
- 2:18negative results where it says the tooth
- 2:21is actually dead when it's actually not
- 2:24dead are rather common following trauma
- 2:28because the sensory ner nerves in the
- 2:30tooth may be disrupted for at least 2 to
- 2:348 weeks uh following the traumatic event
- 2:38but vascular Supply may still be intact
- 2:41which is the true measure of
- 2:44Vitality so it's important to have
- 2:46follow-up visits which is our M and our
- 2:49a more appointments and follow-ups are
- 2:52recommended 3 weeks 3 months 6 months
- 2:57and 12 months after the traumatic injury
- 3:01y so I actually already have a video
- 3:05that looks in depth at the ls
- 3:06classification system so if you want
- 3:08more information on this go check out
- 3:10that video but this system is often
- 3:13tested on the national board exam so I
- 3:15thought to mention it here just briefly
- 3:18and memorizing it is important and it's
- 3:20kind of nice because it basically goes
- 3:22in order from least serious to most
- 3:25serious traumatic incident just to give
- 3:28you a quick glance of what I talk about
- 3:32uh some of these are nice to uh nice to
- 3:34memorize because class one involves one
- 3:37layer of the tooth class two involves
- 3:40two layers of the tooth and class three
- 3:42involves all three layers class four
- 3:45kills the tooth class 5 Moves the tooth
- 3:47and class six kicks the tooth out of the
- 3:50socket so those are all the Ellis
- 3:53classes again check out my video on it
- 3:56if you want to see more in-depth
- 3:58information
- 4:00all right so we're going to go through a
- 4:02couple examples of different traumatic
- 4:04injuries and what you do to treat them
- 4:08so an uncomplicated fracture refers to
- 4:11all fractures of teeth without pulp
- 4:14involvement so they involve just the
- 4:16enamel layer or the enamel and Denton
- 4:19layer like in this picture here if only
- 4:23the enamel is involved smoothing the
- 4:25edges rounding those edges off to
- 4:28prevent any further soft tissue damage
- 4:31lacerations with the sharp edges of a
- 4:33fracture line that would be our
- 4:35treatment of choice if a Nel and Dentin
- 4:38are involved then we would elect to
- 4:42restore that tooth uh with let's say a
- 4:44composite resin or something to again
- 4:47restore uh the tooth to its function and
- 4:50to olude those dentinal tubules to
- 4:53prevent sensitivity issues carries and
- 4:55things like
- 4:57that next we have a complic ated
- 5:00fracture and so the uncomplicated
- 5:02fractures don't involve pulp whereas
- 5:05complicated fracture by definition does
- 5:08involve the pulp layer so um these
- 5:12little things DPC spec pulp uh PPT y all
- 5:16of these things I'll explain in my next
- 5:18video on adjunctive and adonic treatment
- 5:21so definitely go check that out but here
- 5:24it's very important that the timing is
- 5:28considered so um all these treatments
- 5:32involve treating the pulp tissue to some
- 5:34degree because the fracture involves the
- 5:36pulp and which one you do depends on how
- 5:40long after the fracture has occurred
- 5:42that that patient presents to the clinic
- 5:44so if it's less than 24 hours we can get
- 5:47away with a direct pulp cap if it's more
- 5:49than or equal to 24 hours we'd have to
- 5:52do a spec pulpotomy where we remove a
- 5:55part of the coronal pulp tissue it's a
- 5:58partial pulpotomy is another name for it
- 6:01and if it's been more than or equal to
- 6:0372 hours we do a pulpotomy where we
- 6:05remove the entire coronal
- 6:10pulp all right so horizontal root
- 6:13fracture is our next one and this one's
- 6:15a little bit tricky but I'll try to
- 6:17break it down to make it a little bit
- 6:18easier to understand so this is where
- 6:21the coronal segment has been displaced
- 6:24and the apical segment is not displaced
- 6:26it's uh still lodged in the socket this
- 6:29coronal SE segment might be a little bit
- 6:31mobile because it's fractured off of the
- 6:35rest so in this one um as I alluded to
- 6:38before this is a scenario where you'd
- 6:41want to take more than just one
- 6:42periapical in fact you want to take
- 6:45three periapical and one accusal radaph
- 6:49at a minimum and this is because a
- 6:52fracture like this occurs along one
- 6:56plane of space and if the radaph has
- 6:58captured along a similar plane you won't
- 7:01be able to see the fracture line in the
- 7:03image because an xray is a 2D image of a
- 7:073D object and so this is why it's super
- 7:10important to take several radioraps at
- 7:13different angulations all three of these
- 7:15PA should be taken at different uh
- 7:17vertical angulations as the accusal is a
- 7:21different angulation 90° to the um long
- 7:24axis of the tooth approximately and
- 7:28hopefully with all all those radioraps
- 7:30you'd be able to see where that fracture
- 7:33is so ideal healing of this fracture is
- 7:37calcific healing otherwise known as
- 7:39calcific
- 7:41metamorphosis which involves reattaching
- 7:43these two fragments together in close
- 7:46proximity via calcification so it's
- 7:48basically a callus that holds these
- 7:50fractured pieces together by hardening
- 7:53along the fracture line and we'll talk
- 7:55more about this when we talk about
- 7:58responses to trauma
- 8:00like natural responses of trauma by the
- 8:02tooth at the end of this
- 8:05video so next I can get caught in the
- 8:07weeds a little bit here so I'm going to
- 8:10keep it pretty simple and say that if
- 8:12the tooth is vital this coronal segment
- 8:15is vital we'd want to splint that tooth
- 8:19as soon as possible because it's
- 8:21probably quite a bit mobile and we want
- 8:23to keep it relatively in place so that
- 8:27we can allow some sort of healing
- 8:28response
- 8:30and so if the fracture is in the coronal
- 8:34third of the root we'd have to use a
- 8:35rigid splint unfortunately which is not
- 8:37our first choice generally because it
- 8:39can lead to the side effect of
- 8:42ankis and if the fracture line occurs
- 8:46more towards the apical third of the
- 8:47root that's better and we can use a
- 8:50flexible splint for a less amount of
- 8:52time and that's because we want to avoid
- 8:56ankis if possible so the flexible splint
- 8:59and the less amount of time you can use
- 9:01it you can get away using it that's
- 9:03better for these potential avoiding
- 9:06these potential side
- 9:07effects and as you can see here the
- 9:10coronal fracture is much worse than the
- 9:12apical fracture and involves a much more
- 9:15complicated involved treatment procedure
- 9:17so apical fractures are better than
- 9:20coronal fractures which is also true if
- 9:23you recall from our last video um
- 9:26perforations proced one of those
- 9:28procedural complications are better if
- 9:30they Cur occur apically as opposed to
- 9:33coronally so just another example of
- 9:36kind of those trends that you can
- 9:37remember apical is better than
- 9:41coronal also an oblique fracture is
- 9:44better than a transverse fracture that
- 9:46goes straight across so that's another
- 9:48thing you can uh keep in your memory
- 9:51banks now if the tooth is necrotic as in
- 9:56you know most situations where the tooth
- 9:58is necrotic we'd want to do a root canal
- 10:00therapy so that makes
- 10:03sense now there's a 25% chance of
- 10:06necrosis of the coronal segment of the
- 10:08teeth and necrosis of the apical segment
- 10:12is very very rare so it's a rare
- 10:16situation where you'd have this segment
- 10:18that was not dislocated not displaced
- 10:21become necrotic so the root canal
- 10:23therapy would be involving uh sealing
- 10:26off the wide Lumen of the pulp in the
- 10:28coronal segment and leaving this segment
- 10:31alone if the apical segment does happen
- 10:34to be necrotic we can extract it or
- 10:36surgically treat
- 10:39it okay so next we have concussion which
- 10:42is where you bumped your tooth like you
- 10:45you know bumped your head and so there's
- 10:47no displacement no Mobility the PDL may
- 10:50be a little bit sore like you know you
- 10:52stub your toe on the door frame yes your
- 10:55PDL will be sore as well and for a
- 10:58concussion our treatment as you may have
- 11:01noticed all of the treatments I have are
- 11:03listed in red because they're extremely
- 11:06important because those are the things
- 11:07you'll most likely be tested on the
- 11:09national board exam you want to let the
- 11:11tooth rest for a concussion so this
- 11:14involves avoid biting on it for a few
- 11:16days and stick to a soft diet if you
- 11:21can next up is
- 11:23sublation which involves the tooth being
- 11:27loosened in the socket
- 11:29so there's no displacement like
- 11:32concussion but now we have some
- 11:34increased
- 11:35mobility and also the PDL rips and
- 11:39bleeds as a result so if a patient
- 11:42presented in your office and said you
- 11:44know they bumped their tooth it's really
- 11:46sore and you saw some bleeding around
- 11:49the sulcus of that tooth that should
- 11:51clue you in this is not a concussion
- 11:53we're definitely at least at some
- 11:57subluxation so subluxation should be
- 11:59best treated with a flexible splint for
- 12:02that ideal short period of Time 1 to 2
- 12:05weeks there is a 6% chance of necrosis
- 12:09with closed apes and it's more favorable
- 12:12prognosis with open
- 12:14apes and so what I mean by this is an
- 12:17open Apex means that it's an immature
- 12:20tooth where the root is still developing
- 12:23and that's a better situation and a
- 12:25closed Apex means it's a mature tooth
- 12:28where the root has complet needed
- 12:29development about 2 to 3 years after the
- 12:32tooth has fully
- 12:35erupted next we have Extrusion where the
- 12:39tooth is partially extruded in a coronal
- 12:42Direction out of the
- 12:44socket again open Apex a little bit more
- 12:47favorable we would reposition that tooth
- 12:49in its socket use that flexible splint
- 12:52for about 1 to two weeks and monitor it
- 12:55as needed again stick to our follow-up
- 12:57recall of the um those couple weeks the
- 13:00months and the year and all of that
- 13:03closed Apex a little bit less favorable
- 13:05still we would want to reposition it
- 13:07place a flexible splint and root canal
- 13:09therapy if needed if that tooth becomes
- 13:12necrotic because yikes there's a 65
- 13:15chance per chance of necrosis with
- 13:17closed
- 13:19Apes so as you may notice um as I'm
- 13:22going through this
- 13:24presentation the traumatic injuries are
- 13:26getting more and more serious with a a
- 13:29worse and worse prognosis in terms of
- 13:32necrosis of that
- 13:35tooth all right next we have lateral
- 13:38luxation and this is where we have
- 13:40displacement of the tooth in any
- 13:43direction except axially hence the
- 13:47lateral part of the name so usually this
- 13:49means the crown is displaced palatally
- 13:51and the root Apex is displaced lab as in
- 13:56um this image here so if I got my pen
- 13:58out
- 13:59this Crown is dislocated palatally and
- 14:03the root tip is dislocated laally and
- 14:07here unfortunately we have alv fracture
- 14:11which is definitely more serious and
- 14:13would involve a more extensive um
- 14:15splinting option if we were trying to
- 14:18repair that fracture but this is
- 14:20certainly more
- 14:22Sinister now we'd have the same
- 14:24treatment options as Extrusion as I just
- 14:27alluded to so that's reposition
- 14:29flexible splint and monitor with root
- 14:33canal therapy as needed so if the tooth
- 14:35become symptomatic if there's
- 14:37irreversible pulpitis or necrosis we'd
- 14:40have to step in with rot Canal therapy
- 14:43and here we have 80% chance of necrosis
- 14:46with closed apices so definitely not a
- 14:49great prognosis
- 14:52here all right next we have intrusion
- 14:56and this is apical displacement of the
- 14:58tooth
- 14:59so this tooth is displaced in this
- 15:04direction and I'm going to jump ahead
- 15:07there's a 96% chance of necrosis with
- 15:10closed apases that's really really bad
- 15:13and that's because as the tooth is
- 15:16displaced in an apical Direction it
- 15:19literally sever the vessels that supply
- 15:23that tooth it you know pushes on these
- 15:25vessels that supply it at the apical
- 15:28portion
- 15:29and that's the life supply of the tooth
- 15:32so intrusion is just cutting that off
- 15:35and so necrosis is super super likely in
- 15:37this situation
- 15:40unfortunately now there's two very
- 15:42different treatment options depending on
- 15:45the nature of the Apex if it's an
- 15:47immature tooth we allow it to re erupt
- 15:51and this is this is really really really
- 15:53important I've definitely seen a quite a
- 15:55few questions on the board exam about
- 15:58this exact time topc so if it's
- 16:00intrusion an open Apex you actually do
- 16:03nothing other than monitor it and allow
- 16:05it to re erupt on its own because the
- 16:07route is still developing and there's a
- 16:09chance that it pushes that tooth and
- 16:11continues eruption with a couple of
- 16:14hiccups but continues that eruption
- 16:16otherwise as normal closed Apex we go to
- 16:20our classic repo flexible splint and
- 16:22root
- 16:25canal all right and lastly we have
- 16:29evoltion which I alluded to before
- 16:31otherwise called X
- 16:33articulation and this is complete
- 16:35separation of the tooth from its Alvis
- 16:38or from its socket so the tooth has just
- 16:40completely been knocked out like my
- 16:42example um I may have said in another
- 16:44video where I got hit in the face with a
- 16:46baseball as a kid couple teeth got
- 16:48knocked out that's an example of
- 16:50evulsion very very traumatic uh trust me
- 16:54so um important concept here is extra
- 16:57alveolar dry time E A DT for short and
- 17:01this refers to the amount of time a
- 17:03tooth has been out of the mouth while
- 17:06dry hence extra alveolar outside the
- 17:10socket dry
- 17:12time and this is a really really
- 17:14critical concept because the more time
- 17:16you wait while the tooth is out of the
- 17:18socket the worse and worse and worse the
- 17:21prognosis of saving that tooth
- 17:24becomes kind of true for all the things
- 17:26we've talked about the amount of time
- 17:28between the incident of trauma and
- 17:31seeing a dentist same thing
- 17:35here so evulsion our treatment is
- 17:39basically this is kind of generalized we
- 17:42want to reimplant as soon as possible
- 17:45meaning put the tooth back in the socket
- 17:48with some exceptions and flexible splint
- 17:51for one to two weeks this is a little
- 17:54bit of a um over generalization but just
- 17:58maybe for test purposes remember
- 18:00reimplant and flexible
- 18:03splint now for a little bit more detail
- 18:07like I said it very much depends on this
- 18:10closed Apex versus open Apex concept
- 18:13we've been talking about most of this
- 18:14video and the amount of time that tooth
- 18:17has been out of the mouth while
- 18:20dry so um you can read through these on
- 18:23your own it's
- 18:24basically uh again worse as you get over
- 18:2860 minutes
- 18:29prognosis of the tooth goes way down and
- 18:31the sooner you can get into the dentist
- 18:33the better result and less than 30
- 18:35minutes is
- 18:37ideal and it may be worth noting um
- 18:40these Protocols are for permanent teeth
- 18:43as it's not usually recommended or
- 18:45necessary to be reimplanting primary
- 18:48teeth that are knocked out but in the
- 18:50case of primary tooth trauma our trauma
- 18:54acronym um that we started with is still
- 18:56by and large critical that the young
- 18:59patient follows and should absolutely
- 19:01see a dentist right
- 19:04away staying on the topic of evulsion
- 19:06just for a few more minutes here we have
- 19:10different storage media so when that
- 19:11teeth is knocked out instead of keeping
- 19:14it dry we have some options on how to
- 19:17save it as best we can for the time
- 19:19being while we're driving frantically to
- 19:22the dentist
- 19:24office so um our best optimal solution
- 19:28is is called Hanks balanced salt
- 19:31solution um or here's save a tooth is I
- 19:34guess one of the um names out there of
- 19:37the product and we also have uh milk is
- 19:41not a bad option saline uh saliva if the
- 19:45patient is um not a child and can maybe
- 19:49hold the tooth in their mouth for the
- 19:52time being without swallowing it that's
- 19:54another option and actually water is the
- 19:57least desirable solution out there it
- 20:00might not be what you think but yeah
- 20:02water is actually very uh not great for
- 20:05trying to save the tooth because it's
- 20:07hypotonic it doesn't have the correct
- 20:09balance of ions to be helping the tooth
- 20:11survive for that uh little amount of
- 20:16time so finally we'll talk about
- 20:18different long-term responses to trauma
- 20:22so these are like natural responses what
- 20:24can happen to the tooth um after a while
- 20:28after this traumatic incident has
- 20:31happened so our first big one is
- 20:33external resorption and this initiates
- 20:36in the periodontium and this is due to
- 20:39damage to the cemento blasts the cemento
- 20:42blastic layer of the PDL which comes up
- 20:45right to the tooth and so we have a
- 20:48couple different uh subcategories of
- 20:50external
- 20:52resorption the first one is replacement
- 20:54resorption which I talked about before
- 20:56is a bad side effect of having the those
- 20:58splints that are too rigid or left on
- 21:01too long and it's otherwise known as
- 21:04ankis where your body replaces PDL with
- 21:08bone hence replacement
- 21:12resorption there's also cervical
- 21:15resorption which is subepithelial
- 21:18sulcular infection resulting from trauma
- 21:22or uh evidence is still a little bit
- 21:24shaky on this but potentially nonvital
- 21:27bleaching so so subepithelial meaning
- 21:30under the epithelium in the sulcus
- 21:33basically means it's initiating at the
- 21:36CJ of the tooth and it's say often
- 21:40ragged moth eaten appearance uh in the
- 21:43radiograph this one's actually a little
- 21:44bit more clear maybe up here it's a
- 21:46little bit mothy in um and you could
- 21:49spot a pink uh spot in the tooth
- 21:55clinically next we have inflammatory
- 21:57root resorption
- 21:59and this is where bacteria and
- 22:00byproducts from the necrotic pulp travel
- 22:03through dentinal tubules to affect the
- 22:06parodontium so they go from in the pulp
- 22:09to outside and impact that PDL to get
- 22:12another kind of external resorption
- 22:14effect on the
- 22:16tooth so margins of external resorption
- 22:19are ragged poorly defined and if you
- 22:22take several different angles of
- 22:24radioraps of
- 22:26periapical the leion appears to move
- 22:28with those different
- 22:31angles now that'll be important when we
- 22:33compare it to the next one internal
- 22:37resorption so as opposed to external
- 22:40this one initiates within the tooth in
- 22:42the root canal system due to damage to
- 22:45the odont
- 22:46blasts so inflammation is due again to
- 22:50necrotic pulp from carries or trauma but
- 22:52this time causes resorption from within
- 22:55rather than from uh the outside from the
- 22:58PD l so internal resorption has a bit
- 23:01better prognosis is a little bit easier
- 23:04or much easier to treat than external
- 23:07resorption and you actually treat this
- 23:09with root canal therapy and you can use
- 23:11a liquefied or flowable obturating
- 23:14material to flow into this area of
- 23:17resorption and seal the canal
- 23:20effectively um as long as it's not too
- 23:22too
- 23:23involved the margins as opposed to
- 23:25external resorption are sharp and wellde
- 23:28find as you can see here and it does not
- 23:31move with angled radioraps because it's
- 23:33located in the center of the tooth so
- 23:36it's going to stay in the center of the
- 23:38tooth no matter what angle you take the
- 23:40radiograph
- 23:42at and lastly we have our ideal natural
- 23:46response to trauma which is calcific
- 23:50metamorphosis and this is where trauma
- 23:52induces o danta blasts to rapidly form
- 23:56extensive amounts of reparative Dentin
- 23:58remember that's one of our tertiary
- 24:00Dentin within the pulp space and this is
- 24:04more likely with open Apes intrusions
- 24:07and severe Crown fractures as a result
- 24:11of this calcific metamorphosis you get
- 24:13kind of like a yellow orange color of
- 24:15the tooth and again it's a sort of
- 24:18callus that forms that causes this
- 24:20coloration and it's actually the ideal
- 24:23response to trauma it also results in
- 24:26this uh phenomenon as Canal
- 24:29obliteration where the canal the pulp
- 24:32Canal shrinks to the point where you
- 24:34wouldn't even be able to see it on a
- 24:36radiograph because of this deposition of
- 24:38reparative Dentin where the tooth
- 24:41basically um prepares itself it it lays
- 24:45down more to structure to protect uh to
- 24:48protect itself and that's again the
- 24:50natural ideal response to a traumatic
- 24:53entry like luxation or
- 24:57intrusion all right so I know that was a
- 24:59lot of information uh feel free to
- 25:02rewind and rewatch some of those things
- 25:04because there's a lot there and um this
- 25:08is all important stuff because as I as I
- 25:10said before some of the sections of the
- 25:13test particularly that ask about case
- 25:16scenarios um they could reference some
- 25:19sort of trauma and they would ask you
- 25:22you know what would be your ideal
- 25:23treatment modality what you would do
- 25:25what's the prognosis what's the rate of
- 25:27a necr prois maybe not exact percentages
- 25:31but maybe rating what the worst tra
- 25:34traumatic injury would be what's the
- 25:36best prognosis things like that so all
- 25:39that stuff is rather important and
- 25:42hopefully I was able to uh deliver it in
- 25:44a way that helps you remember it and can
- 25:47help you study for the national board
- 25:50exam so again thanks so much for
- 25:52watching guys I really appreciate all
- 25:53the support I'll have the next video in
- 25:56this series up pretty shortly and then
- 25:58after that I'll make some practice
- 26:00questions like I did for the oral
- 26:02pathology section so you can get a taste
- 26:04of what some of those board questions
- 26:06will look like thanks again for watching
- 26:08and I'll see you all in the next video
