Lecture Synopsis A Cellular Approach to the Management of the Complications of Trauma. Innovative and Biological Ways for Managing its Long Term Consequences in the Developing Dentition. Trauma to incisor teeth in a growing child can have devastating consequences especially if the tooth becomes non-vital before the root development is complete or worst still if the tooth is lost. Calcium hydroxide has been the mainstay for the management of immature young permanent incisors that have become non-vital after trauma. Is the long-term use of calcium hydroxide advisable in these situations? Recent evidence has emerged to the contrary and the effect of calcium hydroxide on the dentine structure and properties requires careful consideration by the profession. In light of newer materials that have emerged, such as Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) perhaps the use of calcium hydroxide should be limited or restricted. New emerging evidence will be presented with suggested biological alternatives that harness the potential of stem cells to repopulate the root canal and to promote revascularisation for even those teeth that have been non-vital for some time. There is a possibility that teeth which are non-vital and even had periapical infection in the past can be revascularised and a protocol for this will be suggested in this talk. Also, in those cases where the loss of the permanent incisors is inevitable, this poses real dilemmas for the clinician who has to deal with a child in an active stage of growth. This talk will discuss a multidisciplinary approach to managing bone in such cases followed by tooth transplantation which has been shown to have an excellent outcome for these children in the long term.
