Specialists' management of permanent dentition traumatic dental injuries in 7-16-year-olds: A qualitative study.

Background/aim: Specialist paediatric dentists are integral to dental trauma care pathways. General dentists rely on specialist input, more so in complex cases. Little is known about specialists' role in these pathways or the perceived barriers they face.

Management of traumatic dental injuries: a survey of paediatric emergency department health professionals.

Objective: To assess paediatric emergency department (PED) health professionals' confidence, experience and awareness in managing traumatic dental injuries (TDIs).

Design: A cross-sectional online survey.

Setting: PED at Alder Hey Children's Hospital and Birmingham Children's Hospital.

Traumatic and non-traumatic dental presentations to the paediatric emergency departments of two UK children's hospitals: A multi-centre evaluation.

Background: Dental attendances to paediatric emergency departments (PEDs) represent suboptimal use of resources of an unknown scale.

Aim: To evaluate dental attendances at two PEDs in the UK and compare traumatic dental injury (TDI) and non-traumatic dental conditions (NTDCs).

Design: Retrospective data were collected for a 12-month period including demographics, attendance pattern, assessment, and management.

Trends in CBCT current practice within three UK paediatric dental departments.

Introduction: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is used across all dental specialties and has a number of advantages compared to 2D images. The SEDENTEXCT guidelines provide a number of indications for the use, however there are currently no specific guidelines for paediatric dentistry. The aim of this study was to assess current practice of CBCT imaging within paediatric dental departments in England, audit compliance of CBCT justifications against the standards set by SEDENTEXCT and assess whether the use of CBCT affected the treatment plan for each individual patient.
