[Trauma in the anterior tooth area of the youthful dentition from the surgical viewpoint].

A choice of treatments is available for traumatised anterior teeth. Apicoectomy combined with pin insertion is recommended for fractures of the middle or apical part of the tooth, or in cases of loss of the whole tooth single implants. In many cases which previously did not appear to be amenable to treatment it is today possible to preserve the damaged teeth at least over a longish period.
