Abstract

Dental injuries can happen anytime, anywhere. Often in the midst of a very busy day, a victim of dental injury appears at the surgery. An important key to success is prompt treatment. This can be difficult if the dental surgeon is involved with other patients. However, properly trained dental auxiliaries �?¢�?�?�?�? the dental chairside assistant or dental hygienist �?¢�?�?�?�? can perform the initial clinical and radiographic examinations. This presentation is designed for the entire dental team, with the aim of disarming the stressful situation an acute injury represents as well as initiating the necessary procedures which will serve to identify the area of focus for treatment. francesbluetooth@mail.dk
