Dental trauma is such a situation where the patient is affected both socially and psychologically. Patients with trauma are in pain and need emergency treatment. Such patients are quite apprehensive because of impaired functions, aesthetics, and phonetics. The prime objective while handling such cases is successful pain management with immediate restoration of function, aesthetics, and phonetics.
