T The most frequent type of injury was a simple crown fracture of the maxillary anterior in the permanent dentition. The major cause of this type of fracture is dental trauma. The important predisposing factors were a large maxillary overjet, incomplete lip closure and lack of properly fitted mouth protector while playing sports. Trauma assessment should include medical history, clinical examination, radiographic examination and ideally photographic documentation. Treatment planning is influenced by tooth maturity and extent of fracture. Every effort must be made to preserve pulps in immature teeth. In order to protect the pulp, calcium hydroxide should be applied to the exposed dentin as soon as possible. A fracture site must be covered and consideration given to function and esthetics, this can be accomplished by using the acid-etch composite restorative system or by reimplantation. The patient must be informed of the need to return for periodic clinical and radiographic examinations to ensure the normal development of the pulp and to institute suitable treatment if necessary.
