“Create an IADT pediatric dental trauma flowchart for a child with a knocked-out tooth: determine whether it is permanent, do not replant a primary tooth, handle a permanent tooth by the crown, briefly rinse visible dirt with saline or milk, keep it moist in milk, HBSS, saliva, or saline, then show immediate dental assessment, replantation and position verification, a flexible two-week splint, antibiotics, tetanus review, follow-up, and healing monitoring.”
Entenda as decisões por trás dele.
Primary teeth are not replanted, while an avulsed permanent tooth follows the emergency pathway.
Holding the tooth by the crown protects periodontal-ligament cells on the root.
Milk, HBSS, saliva, or saline helps prevent root-surface dehydration during transfer.
Replantation is followed by a flexible splint for two weeks and structured review.
Use this as an emergency teaching or clinic-reference flow for an avulsed permanent incisor in a child. It is not a substitute for immediate assessment by a dental professional.
Dúvidas comuns
Should a knocked-out primary tooth be replanted?
No. The IADT pathway distinguishes primary teeth from avulsed permanent teeth; seek urgent dental assessment.
Why handle the tooth by the crown?
Avoiding the root helps protect periodontal-ligament cells needed for healing.
Which storage media are shown?
Milk, HBSS, saliva, or saline are shown as temporary moist media while urgent care is arranged.
