Abstract
Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) are common in the military population, among both combatants and non-combatant soldiers. In cases of TDI, and especially in the case of tooth avulsion, proper and prompt initial treatment is crucial to the prognosis of the tooth, in addition to the patient's comfort. This article presents military health care providers with the updated guidelines of the International Association of Dental Traumatology for the initial treatment of cases of TDI, with an emphasis on emergency treatment in case of dental avulsion.
