JEREZ DELGADILLO, Gabriela y SAYURI KIMURA, Juliana. A literature critical review of current post-trauma guidelines in the primary dentition. Rev Odontoped Latinoam [online]. 2024, vol.14, e-223571. Epub 02-Abr-2025. ISSN 2174-0798. https://doi.org/10.47990/vhavtm63.
The optimal healing of the injured tissues depends on several factors, including the post trauma orientations. For this reason, the objective of this study was to perform a critical analysis of the actual guidelines post-trauma on primary dentition. The search strategy was performed in August-September 2021, in MEDLINE/PubMed; SCOPUS; BVS; ProQuest; Science Direct under the terms DeCS/MeSH, within the last 5 years, without language restriction. Eleven articles were selected, and the following topics were analyzed: oral hygiene, antiseptics, medications, risk activity, diet/nutrition, sucking habits, complications, follow-up and associated sequelae. The use of soft brushes and alcohol-free chlorhexidine digluconate, limitation of medication prescription, soft diet, suspension of sucking habits and post-traumatic sequelae in the permanent dentition were the main findings. It seems to be necessary studies verify the effectiveness of the actual post- trauma orientation and to standardize the instructions given after traumatic dental injuries (TDI) in the primary dentition with the aim of improving the short -and long- term prognosis.
