Risk of renal cell carcinoma after kidney transplantation

Dental trauma occurs very often in children and its consequences vary from tiny fractures to the complete avulsion of the tooth. According to Andreasen, 86.5% of incidents of dental trauma suffered by preschool children cause injury to maxillary primary incisors, whereas only 0.5% cause injury to primary molars. This case report is of a male patient aged 7 years who had fallen down a month before, struck his chin against a step, and fractured the maxillary and mandibular left primary second molars (65 and 75) and the mandibular right primary second molar (85). The 65 required only smoothing of sharp edges, 75 received endodontic treatment and a stainless steel crown, and 85 was extracted and a space maintainer fitted. The early diagnosis of fractures of posterior teeth is very important; a thorough examination of all posterior teeth should be made, especially when child suffers trauma to the chin region.
