Tooth avulsions resulting from basketball net entanglement



DP Kumamoto, J Winters, D Novickas, and K Mesa

Department of Restorative Dentistry, University of Illinois at Chicago, College of Dentistry 60612-7212, USA.

The authors conducted a survey of dentists reporting tooth avulsions from basketball net accidents. Although the number of people injured was small, the dental injuries were serious. In many cases, multiple teeth were avulsed as a result of the maxillary anterior teeth becoming entangled in the basketball net while the patients were attempting to slamdunk a basketball either on a lowered backboard or from a raised take-off area. The authors present recommendations for preventing tooth avulsions resulting from basketball net entanglement.
