Abstract
Dental injuries affect different patients every day in conditions that can range from domestic, work, or road accidents. As for traumas in the age of development, the field is restricted to domestic, sports, and school environments. The purpose of this study was to clarify the current protocols in the literature to limit and manage this type of pathology. This narrative review considers the literature of the last 20 years on this topic in different ways. The literature is in agreement with dividing the treatments into primary and secondary and also according to what is the place where the trauma occurred to evaluate the type of intervention. However, all protocols are aimed at implementing efficient preventive strategies rather than having to solve a problem subsequently, certainly, new protocols and protection systems can limit this problem which leads not only to more or less complex problems related to oral health and aesthetics but also possible subsequent psychological problems.
