tooth fractures and tooth dislocations Explanation: tooth fractures and tooth dislocations -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2009-03-29 18:43:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Properly designed and custom fabricated mouthguards are essential in preventing athletic oral-facial injury. The use of mouthguards reduces the likelihood of *tooth fractures and tooth dislocations*. Mouthguards protect against jaw fractures by absorbing the energy of a traumatic blow to the chin. http://dentalresource.org/topics19.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 mins (2009-03-29 18:45:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- OR better: tooth avulsion Partial or complete displacement of a tooth from its alveolar support. It is commonly the result of trauma. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 mins (2009-03-29 18:46:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.mondofacto.com/facts/dictionary?tooth avulsion -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2009-03-29 19:00:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- On second thoughts, I would not use *avulsion* as it may imply that the tooth is missing. Tooth displacement/dislocation or *luxation* sound better. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2009-03-29 19:01:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Tooth injuries: Traumatic or other damage to teeth including fractures (tooth fractures) or displacements (tooth luxation). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 mins (2009-03-29 19:02:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.encyclo.co.uk/define/tooth injuries |
