Traumatic intrusion is an accident that leads to luxation of the tooth that will be displaced along the vertical axis toward the alveolar bone. This injury is regarded as serious because of the damage that it causes to the peri-dental and dental tissues. The traumatic movement is associated with severe damage to the periodontal ligament, pulpal tissue, root, and alveolar bone. The purpose of this paper is to describe the surgical repositioning approaches used in cases of intrusion injury in association with orthodontic repositioning. This report describes the surgical-orthodontic treatment of intruded permanent maxillary incisors following trauma in an 11-year-old boy. The clinical and radiographic examination ten years after treatment revealed no sign of pulp necrosis, root resorption or ankylosis...... ReadMore -

Editorial Nowadays, we encounter dietary changes, especially shifts in the types and quantities of beverages consumed by children. Unfortunately, most children are not willing to intake milk which could affect their oral health. Researches show that drinking high- sugar soft drinks is most commonly correlated with obesity, type two diabetes, oral manifestations such as teeth caries, and dental erosion [1-4]. In other words, the harmful effect of these beverages has been seen on the dental and general health of people including children and adolescents. The high content of sugar and acids with cariogenic and acidogenic potential could improve dental caries, tooth erosion, and the inverse effect on the general health of children and adolescents leading to overweight and obesity. On the other hand, it has been proven that there ..... ReadMore -
