Differential Diagnosis
Dentoalveolar Injuries
Odontogenic Infections
- Acute alveolar osteitis
- Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (trench mouth)
- Dental caries (pulpitis)
- Ludwig's angina
- Periapical abscess
- Pericoronitis
- Periodontal abscess

Evaluation
Management
- Enamel (Ellis Class I)
- Routine follow up only; nothing to do
- Enamel + dentin (yellowish) (Ellis Class II)
- Patients experience sensitivity to hot/cold stimuli and air passing over tooth during breathing
- Cover exposed dentin to decrease pulpal contamination
- Place dental cement over fracture site
- Next day follow up
- Enamel + dentin + pulp (reddish) (Ellis Class III)
- On wiping fractured surface with gauze, blood is easily seen
- Immediate referral (dental emergency)
- If no dentist is available:
- Cover exposed pulp with calcium hydroxide base
- Cover this and the remaining exposed dentin with dental cement
