Abstract

It was conducted a study on the diagnosis and treatment of dental trauma in a group of 40 patients aged 5-25. The trauma occurred more frequently among those aged 5-11 and the crown was the most affected dental portion, eventhough there were 2 cases with radicular fractures. 31 patients who had suffered from trauma some days later and had been seen by other stomatologists were attended. 3 patients went to the dental office between 6 and 24 hours after the trauma, whereas 6 did it before the 5 hours. These patients received the correct treatment. The rest of the patients that were given attention 24 hours after the trauma presented a painful symptomatology. It was not so for the patients attended between 5 and 24 hours and whose postoperative was successful.
