The second edition of Traumatic Dental Injuries: A Manual builds on the phenomenal success of the first edition, which was published in 1999. The book has been updated to reflect advances in the treatment of dental trauma, especially with regard to the urgency of acute treatment. New chapters include long-term prognosis, diagnosis of pulp and periodontal healing complications and patient information subsequent to emergency treatment. Another addition is a chapter dedicated to the principles of endodontic treatment of traumatized teeth.

A unique feature of the book is the electronically generated images of a ‘model tooth’ subjected to various sorts of trauma. This allows the dentist to appreciate and compare the manifestations and treatment outcomes of typical trauma types.
