[Introduction to the Hebrew edition of the guidelines for the management of traumatic dental injuries by the International Association of Dental Traumatology].

The International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT) has developed a consensus statement after a review of the dental literature and group discussions. Experienced researchers and clinicians from various specialties were included in the group. In cases where the data did not appear conclusive, recommendations were based on the consensus opinion of the IADT board members. The guidelines represent the best current evidence based on literature search and professional opinion. The primary goal of these guidelines is to delineate an approach for the immediate or urgent care of TDIs. As a part of the IADT global effort to provide accessibility to these guidelines worldwide, we present here an Hebrew version of the official IADT guidelines.
