Traumatic dental injuries in children with special health care needs
ConclusionsPrevalence of TDI was higher in CSHCN, and associated with increased overjet and incompetent lips. Uncomplicated crown fracture was the most common injury. In both groups, the main reason for not seeking treatment was lack of dental awareness among parents/caregivers; however, difficulties in getting an appointment and availability of dental clinics willing to see children was more prominent in the CSHCN group.This article is protected by copyright.

Shape change in mouthguard sheets during thermoforming – part 2: effect of the anteroposterior position of the model on mouthguard thickness
ConclusionThe results showed that the thickness reduction was large when the distance from the model to the frame was small. This demonstrates the importance of centering the sheet and the model to achieve the most stable molding when positioning the model in the forming unit. (Source: Dental Traumatology)
