Traumatic oral injuries in children involve trauma to the dentition and the surrounding oral soft tissue structures. They usually present as an emergency hence their management poses a challenge globally. Treatment of a tooth fracture, displacement or loss is determined by the type and severity of the injury independent of the etiology. It necessitates the experience for behavior management in a child, ascertaining a patient centered diagnosis, formulating a definitive treatment plan, explanation and consent of oral care to the parents or carer with optimal operator skills. This article provides an overview on the types of oral injury in a child patient, their recognition, diagnosis and management based on credible, practical and readily understandable evidence.
儿童口腔创伤包括牙列及周围口腔软组织结构的损伤。这些损伤通常作为急症出现，因此其治疗在全球范围内都是一项挑战。牙齿折断、移位或缺失的治疗取决于损伤的类型和严重程度，而与病因无关。这需要有处理儿童行为的经验，确定以患者为中心的诊断，制定明确的治疗计划，向家长或照顾者解释并征得其对口腔护理的同意，同时操作人员要具备最佳技能。本文基于可靠、实用且易于理解的证据，概述了儿童患者口腔损伤的类型、识别、诊断及治疗。
