- You will plan management for fractures and luxations of primary and permanent teeth.
- You will perform practical procedures related to the treatment of dental injuries on models according to applicable standards.
- You will perform splinting and tooth replantation procedures according to current guidelines.
- You will recognize possible complications after dental injuries and plan further management and patient follow-up.
