Epidemiology and outcomes of dental trauma cases from an urban pediatric emergency department

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

After receiving emergency dental care in the emergency department, 43% of the teeth presented for follow-up dental care and only 22% were followed up for greater than 6 months. Emergency department treatment translated to successful retention of teeth in 58% of the cases with documented follow up. Severe periodontal injuries resulted in treatment complications.
