ClinConnect Summary

Traumatic injury to the anterior teeth is commonly found among young children, represent one third in boys and one fourth in girls. Because the root development completed two years after eruption of the tooth into the oral cavity, an incomplete root development is one of the most common complication seen in traumatized teeth. Loss of pulp vitality before dentine deposition is completed, leaves a weak root more susceptible to fracture as a result of the thin dentinal walls. It will also lead to a poor crown/root ratio, with possible periodontal injury as a result of increased mobility.
