RESUMO
Orofacial sports-related injuries occur across a wide range of both organized and unorganized sports. Different types of injuries are associated with each sport. The current database for incidence, prevalence, severity, and causality is found only in published reports and scientific articles. Careful analysis and use of recent data are necessary because rule changes in sports have made the application of outdated information to current sports issues obsolete.

This study investigated the prognosis and related correlates of 307 luxation injuries of primary anterior teeth sustained by 222 patients. Primary anterior teeth that had sustained luxation injuries were identified from the dental records of a pediatric dental practice. Data collected included: the child's birth date, sex, and occlusion; date, etiology, and type of injury; treatment rendered; and post-traumatic sequelae. The mean age of children at the time of injury was 3.8 years, and the most common etiology was a fall. Those children sustaining intrusions were significantly younger than those sustaining extrusions or avulsions. Sports accidents were more likely to cause lateral luxations, while bike accidents were more likely to cause extrusions and avulsions. Root fractures were significantly associated with lateral luxations. The risk of sustaining a lateral luxation increased as age increased. There was an association between the development of post-traumatic sequelae and the repositioning of displaced teeth. Lateral luxations had a marked increase risk of necrosis when repositioned; conversely, intrusions had a decreased risk of necrosis when repositioned. Those groups with the best post-trauma tooth survival during the first year postinjury were those > 5 years old and < 2 years old. Hypoplastic defects were noted on 7.7% of the succedaneous teeth and their prevalence was not statistically associated with the type of luxation injuries.

Latex is ubiquitous in pediatric dentistry and medical practice. Children with spina bifida and other urogenital abnormalities are at great risk for hypersensitivity reactions during dental treatment. Four representative cases of children with latex allergies at one institution are presented. A latex-avoidance protocol is presented with suggested instrument and equipment alternatives.
