==Interpretation of Traumatic Injuries==

[[Intra-Oral Radiography - Small Animal|Dental radiographs]] are made to assess traumatic injuries to the [[:Category:Teeth - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]], [[Enamel Organ#Alveolar Bone|alveolar bone]], [[Skull and Facial Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology#Mandible (mandibula)|mandible]], [[Skull and Facial Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology#Maxilla|maxilla]], and temporomandibular junction (TMJ). Depending on the injuries, skull radiographs and computed tomography scans may be recommended for complete evaluation of all injuries.<br><br>

Traumatic injuries often lead to [[Enamel Organ#Root|root]] fractures, loss of tooth [[Enamel Organ#Crown|crown]], and retention of tooth root. Radiographs are made to identify persistent [[Enamel Organ#Root|roots]] and any associated pathology. A [[Enamel Organ#Crown|crown]] fracture that exposes the [[Enamel Organ#Pulp|pulp]] chamber will result in endodontic disease. When this occurs, the extent of pathology should be evaluated with a dental radiograph. Blunt trauma may result in damage to the pulp without fracturing the tooth. A dental radiograph should be made of any tooth that is discolored from pulp haemorrhage.<br><br>

Radiographs are made to identify persistent [[Tooth - Anatomy & Physiology#Root|roots]] and any associated pathology.

Root fractures with or without concurrent crown fractures occur secondary to trauma and affect the prognosis and treatment of the tooth.<br><br>

[[Intra-Oral Radiography - Small Animal|Intra-oral radiographs]] of the mandible and maxilla are useful to determine the extent of jaw fractures and the involvement of tooth roots without superimposition of other structures. Intra-oral radiographs also allow proper treatment planning to avoid damage to tooth structures during the repair of jaw fractures.
