Written by Serpil Djemal, consultant in restorative dentistry at King's College Hospital Dental Institute, this book provides guidance on the assessment, diagnosis and management of traumatic dental injuries.

The book covers enamel, dentine, pulp, crown and root fracture injuries and has chapters on subluxation, extrusion, lateral luxation, intrusion and avulsion, dentoalveolar fractures and long-term consequences.

The 14 chapters examine each type of trauma systematically, with step-by-step protocols and advice on postoperative care and recommended follow-up care, including splinting and root resorption. Each topic features a clinical case study and is illustrated with high-quality photographs and explanatory diagrams. The main purpose of the book is as a practical guide so discussion in the text is kept to a minimum, but references are provided at the end of each chapter for readers looking for further background information.
