AbstractDentoalveolar trauma and dislocations of the temporomandibular joint are common reasons for patients to present to EDs in Australia. The majority of medical practitioners receive very little formal training in the management of these injuries and might not have ready access to dental services out of hours for advice. This article focuses on the emergency assessment, triage and non-specialist management of dentoalveolar trauma and injuries to the temporomandibular joint.© 2014 Australasian College for Emergency Medicine and Australasian Society for Emergency Medicine.
