Dental trauma from first aid to long-term follow-up — Paul Abbott on luxations, root fractures and resorption
Specialist endodontist and Dental Traumatology editor Paul Abbott teaches Online Encyclopedia of Dental Trauma as nine structured lectures totalling 10 h 53 min. He moves from how pulp, periradicular and soft tissues respond to injury, through every type of external and internal resorption, to emergency care of fractures, luxations and avulsion, splinting, transverse root fractures and pulpless immature teeth, illustrated throughout with clinical cases.

What you’ll be able to do
- Predict how pulp and periodontal ligament heal after each kind of injury
- Examine a trauma patient using sensibility testing and radiographs and set a follow-up schedule
- Reposition extruded, laterally luxated and intruded teeth and manage avulsion
- Choose the right splint type and duration for teeth and alveolar fractures
- Prevent or intercept external inflammatory resorption, including when to start root canal treatment
- Pick among three options for pulpless immature teeth and judge their prognosis
Inside the course
Tissue responses and healing
Two opening lessons, a short introduction and a full hour on the same programme, describe common injuries, the healing patterns of each tissue and the factors that tip outcomes toward repair or loss.
Resorption in depth
Abbott classifies resorption, then works through surface resorption, ankylosis, replacement and inflammatory resorption — their pathogenesis, diagnosis and management — and devotes a later lesson to the three types of internal resorption and how to tell them apart.
Emergency and definitive care
General principles cover examination, splinting, pulp exposure management, pain control, local and systemic medication and review intervals. Specific protocols follow for crown and crown-root fractures, concussion, subluxation, luxations, intrusion and avulsion, with prognosis for each.
Root fractures and immature teeth
A new classification of transverse root fractures leads to position-based prognosis and endodontic protocols when the pulp becomes necrotic. The immature-tooth lesson compares three treatment approaches and asks whether calcium hydroxide weakens dentine.

Before you buy
Why do the first two lessons have the same title?
The first is a 29-minute introduction and the second a one-hour lecture on the same topic list, so expect some overlap between them.
Does it include soft tissue injuries?
Soft tissue healing and emergency care of the oral region are discussed, but the emphasis is clearly on the teeth and their supporting tissues.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
