TOOTH AVULSION: WHAT’S NEW IN THE IADT GUIDELINES?

Tooth avulsion is a medical and dental emergency that requires prompt recognition and intervention.  Over the years, the International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT), has published a series of treatment guidelines dedicated solely for the management of avulsed permanent teeth. The 2020 guidelines represent the latest version of those treatment algorithms, bringing many updates in the management of avulsion injury, while abandoning several others. This presentation will provide a detailed update on the current treatment algorithms in comparison with the previous guidelines, and will present online resources for the acute management of dental injuries.
