Dental traumas are reasonably common, especially in children and adolescents. They are caused by many factors with fall accounting for the most frequent one. Dental trauma requires a special consideration when dental fractures accompany soft tissue lacerations. Dental fragments occasionally penetrate into soft tissue and may cause severe complications. Early diagnosis and surgical removal of these fragments could prevent undesirable foreign body reaction and scarring. This report presents immediate diagnosis and management of a case in which dental fragment was embedded in the lip soft tissue.
牙外伤相当常见，尤其是在儿童和青少年中。其由多种因素引起，其中跌倒最为常见。当牙折伴有软组织裂伤时，牙外伤需要特殊考虑。牙齿碎片偶尔会穿透软组织并可能导致严重并发症。早期诊断并手术取出这些碎片可预防不良的异物反应和瘢痕形成。本报告介绍了一例牙齿碎片嵌入唇部软组织的病例的即时诊断和处理。
