The primary causes of traumatic dental injuries are falls, car accidents, and violence. Children age 2 to 4 years and 8 to 10 years are the groups most often injured in this way. For a correct diagnosis and treatment with a better prognosis, the TDI should be properly managed within the first few hours after the event. However, oral health care professionals may not always be available, especially if the injury occurs in a rural, underserviced area. Teledentistry (TD) offers remote dental assistance and is used to diagnose and support clinical decisions when a health care provider cannot be on the scene.
