Description: The Academy for Sports Dentistry (ASD) was formed in 1983 by a small group of dentists who wanted to bring this niche of dentistry to the dental profession. Now as it was then, the basic message of the organization is that sports carry a risk of dental injury, and dentists must know how to treat these injuries and that prevention of injuries, especially with the use of athletic mouthguards, is effective and practical. Since its inception, the ASD’s mission has been to spread this message to a variety of different groups as well as other dentists. These include athletes themselves, sports medicine physicians, athletic trainers, parents, coaches and sports administrators. We have partnered with other groups to try to bring our message to the public as well, including working in conjunction with three other dental groups on National Facial Protection Month which occurs every April. In addition, ASD has liaison relationships with The National Federation of State High School Associations, the NCAA, and the National Athletic Trainers Association which help us to alert the sports world about our message of prevention. In this presentation, we will discuss why sports dentistry is important to the world of sports medicine and to athletes specifically. We will cover what the facts are as to how effective we can be in the prevention of athletic injuries, and present how our messages can be targeted to different age groups, different populations, and the participants in all sports. Drs. Lambert and Mills have nearly sixty years of being involved in sports dentistry at all age and skill levels. Dr. Mills is a pediatric dentist and has educated and treated young athletes through collegiate players. Dr. Lambert has been involved with athletes of all ages and has worked with athletes at the professional level of various sports. He is currently the team dentist for the Minnesota Lynx of the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA). Both are volunteer dentists for the United States Olympic Program.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Explain the history of the Academy for Sports Dentistry and its primary message.
- Describe to what extent dental injuries occur in sports and how effective prevention of sports injuries with mouthguards can be.
- Describe which different athletic populations exist, and which messages resonate with each one

Description: Childhood and adolescence, while periods of tremendous physical and emotional growth, have also been well recognized as high-risk stages for dental traumatic injuries. There are many causes of dental injuries amongst children and adolescents including falls, abuse, and collisions (sports- and non-sports-related) to name a few. Furthermore, continued sports play can facilitate a risk of re-injury. Globally, the prevalence of dental trauma is high – up to one-third of school-aged children have had at least one dental injury, and, of those with dental injuries, almost half experience another dental injury during this developmental period. Trauma to a child’s or adolescent’s orofacial region not only impacts their physical being but can have psychological and social impacts as well that can affect socialization with peers and overall well-being of the injured child or adolescent. Lastly, it is important to understand the process by which children 2 and/or adolescents and their families manage or cope with traumatic dental injuries and the potential influences of other factors on their coping ability. This session will examine the impact of children’s dental injuries on their quality of life including their psychological, social, and oral health impacts as well as parents’ perceptions of the impact.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- To describe the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors of dental traumatic injuries among children/adolescents
- To describe the impact of dental trauma on children’s and adolescent’s quality of life and oral health quality of life.
- To describe the psychological and social impact of dental trauma on children and their caregiver/family.

Description: The traumatized dentition encompasses a broad spectrum of dental injury classifications. Even when immediate treatment needs to be rendered, the clinician must always begin with an initial assessment of the injured patient and dentition that results in a preliminary diagnosis. This initial assessment or evaluation process for traumatic dental injuries should include a) obtaining a thorough history of the events related to the injury itself, b) an initial clinical exam followed by a more thorough evaluation to include pulpal and periapical diagnostic testing, c) a comprehensive radiographic exam and d) establishment of a preliminary pulpal and periapical diagnosis. Once this has been completed along with any immediate emergency care, a long-term treatment plan can be formulated and followed. Understanding the differences of how traumatized teeth respond to diagnostic testing when compared to teeth with healthy pulps is essential. This presentation is geared toward outlining a comprehensive, but efficient, evaluation process done in an orderly and systematic manner. Correctly identifying the type of dental injury sustained along with establishing baseline diagnostic information will be the first step in providing the best management of care for any traumatic dental injury.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Identify key components of obtaining an accurate history related to the traumatic dental injury
- Develop a systematic and orderly sequence for performing a clinical exam of the traumatized dentition to include diagnostic testing.
- Describe the benefits of various radiographic methods for evaluating the traumatized dentition

Description: Millennials (also known as Generation Y) are a generational demographic cohort. The Millennial generation is generally characterized by an increased use and familiarity with communications, media, and digital technology. Adopting classroom teaching and curricula to the specific interests and skills of this generation poses a challenge in dental schools’ settings. Dental 2 traumatology is a complex topic and requires multi-disciplinary understanding and comprehensive knowledge. Using various innovative and dynamic techniques for classroom teaching might improve the participation and cooperation of the new generation of learners and thus improve the overall educational outcomes of dental traumatology education. Apart from learning about the fascinating differences between generations, the audience will become familiarized with the unique characteristics of Generation Y dental students. A discussion will address specific challenges that educators face in the classroom when teaching dental trauma. During the session, incorporation of technological aids will be demonstrated, and finally, the audience will learn some useful ‘take-home’ methods to enhance dental trauma education.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Define generation Y and the characteristics of dental students in Gen Y.
- Discuss the challenges educators face within dental trauma education.
- Demonstrate the use of technological aids in the classroom to enhance dental trauma education.

Description: Perio-prosthetic implant treatment plan is gaining popularity with high perceived survival and success rates. Replacing a tooth with an implant is usually based on tooth prognosis evaluation and its comparison to the anticipated long-term implant survival. Different approaches for determining tooth prognosis were described in the literature. Over the past decade, the use of osseointegrated implants as a foundation for prosthetic replacement of missing teeth has become widespread. However, there is an increasing trend toward replacing diseased teeth with dental implants. In dental trauma patients, it seems that a lot of efforts are sometimes needed to save or preserve a tooth and it is tempting to turn to implant placement. This lecture will provide a reevaluation of our paradigms, beliefs and knowledge regarding both tooth prognosis evaluation and long-term implant success according to the currently available knowledge. We, as dental professionals, should avoid basing our treatment planning on thoughts and beliefs and stick as much as possible to evidence-based practice.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Describe the prognostic systems for teeth and implants
- Explain treatment alternatives for post-traumatic tooth injuries.
- Apply Evidence-Based approach to determine best treatment options following oral trauma.

Description: Horizontal root fractures are not a common injury, but they do present a number of challenges for their management. Teeth with root fractures generally have a good long-term prognosis but this depends on whether it is located in the apical, middle or coronal third of the root. The more apical the fracture, the better the prognosis for the tooth and also for the pulp. Root canal treatment is not often required for root fractures and should be deferred until there are definite signs of an infected root canal system. If the pulp is removed, then the opportunity for some internal repair with dentine is lost. Coronal third fractures should be further divided into those within bone (sub-osseous) or those not within bone (supra-osseous). If the fracture is located within bone, then stabilisation and long-term monitoring is often all that is required. However, supra-osseous root fractures present difficult treatment decisions. Many will require removal of the coronal fragment followed by root canal treatment and restoration with a postretained crown, but this may not always be feasible and orthodontic extrusion and/or periodontal surgery may also be required. This lecture will outline the various healing responses and management options for horizontal root fractures.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Describe a new classification for horizontal root fractures.
- List the various responses to horizontal root fractures.
- Outline the prognosis for teeth following horizontal root facture according to the position of the fracture.
