Traumatic injuries: an online study guide

Abstract

The Editorial Board of the Journal of Endodontics has developed a literature-based study guide of topical areas related to endodontics. This study guide is intended to give the reader a focused review of the essential endodontic literature and does not cite all possible articles related to each topic. Although citing all articles would be comprehensive, it would defeat the idea of a study guide. This section will present classification of traumatic injuries, crown/root and root fractures, canal obliteration secondary to traumatic injuries, root resorption secondary to traumatic injuries (internal resorption, invasive cervical resorption, and external resorption), horizontal root fractures, treatment of the avulsed tooth, splinting, pulp vitality secondary to traumatic injuries, alternative methods for testing for pulp vitality, and treatment of the intruded tooth.
