Trauma of temporary and permanent children’s teeth is unpredictable and relatively common event during childhood. Trauma of child’s permanent tooth is dental emergency which requires immediate professional help. Not every dentist feels confident enough to provide appropriate dental care in such situation. There are cases of incompetent emergency dental treatment provided and follow up care. In Bulgaria there are no sources of information for helpful tips and advices to a child with trauma and his parents.

The material will be presented through a web-based software server of the Medical University of Sofia.
