Abstract :
Introduction: TAD constitutes one of the most frequent and urgent reasons in the stomatology and maxillofacial surgery (S/CMF) department. This study aimed to contribute to improving the management of alveolar-dental trauma at CHU-YO.
Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective case series study, based on the clinical files of patients who underwent TAD and admitted to the S/CMF department of the CHU-YO during the period of study from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023. Data were collected from collection sheets and patient files during this period.
Results: 100 cases of TAD were collected in the S/CMF department of the CHU-YO. These TADs were relatively frequent. The age group of 15 to 30 years was the most affected (51%). Male predominance was clear (64%). ACRs were the greatest providers of alveolar-dental trauma (84%). Dislocations were predominant (51%) and the elective site was the upper jaw (61%). Medical treatment consisted mainly of antibiotics (100%), analgesics (97%), anti-inflammatories (71%) and topical uses of oral antiseptics (100%). The most commonly performed surgical treatment was soft tissue sutures. Restraints using Duclos arch ligatures were the subject of the majority of cases of orthopedic treatment (46%). Evolution was good in 84% of cases. Dental mobility (4%) and alveolitis (4%) dominated the table of complications.
Conclusion: Reducing ACR, which involves significant road prevention, would undoubtedly contribute to reducing the incidence of alveolar-dental trauma. Strengthening the technical platform and interdisciplinary collaboration of the department of odontostomatology and maxillofacial surgery could improve patient care at the CHU-YO.
