Most of us have a notion that the milky teeth do not play
a role in the permanent dentition. In contrast, the primary/ milky teeth decide
the fate of the permanent teeth. Therefore, in case of trauma to the milky
teeth, concrete steps are to be taken to treat it. Trauma could be due to
accidental or any other reasons.
If an uncomplicated
crown fracture occurs, a filling would suffice. But, if it involves the
nerve of the tooth, pulpotomy/pulpectomy, wherein the root canal of the tooth
is treated, has to be performed. If not taken care of, the infection might
spread to the permanent successor. In case of intrusion of the primary(milky)
tooth due to an injury/trauma, it has to be extruded in order to prevent damage
to the developing permanent tooth bud. If the root is fractured, extraction is
indicated in order to avoid the spread of infection to the permanent successor.
Followed by the extraction, and depending upon the age of the patient, space
has to be maintained with the space maintaining appliances. When a tooth is
avulsed, which is complete displacement from the socket, it has to kept in
storage media like milk, coconut water or egg white and immediately visit the
dentist, who would carry out replantation of the avulsed tooth, if possible.
