Management of dental trauma remains a significant clinical challenge affecting health-care providers and patients alike. Patients can present with a wide variety of injuries ranging from crown or root fractures to injuries to the supporting periodontal structure, including luxations and avulsions. This presentation will discuss the newly published guidelines from the IADT (international Association of Dental Traumatology) for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of traumatized teeth using different clinical case scenarios based on the available scientific-based data. This presentation will focus as well on Vital Pulp Therapy, showing the current scientific data and the clinical scenarios to preserve the pulp tissue after a traumatic injury.

Learning Objectives:

Explain the diagnosis and treatment plan following current guidelines and protocols.
Develop the most predictable treatment plan for immature teeth to obtain a positive outcome.
Establish the clinical scenarios to perform a Vital Pulp Therapy Treatment after reviewing its scientific base.
