Abstract
For modern medical care, social background may be an essential factor, and medical care through out the indivisual's life time appears to have significant meaning.
From this point of view, total dental care throughout childhood is being carried out in the field of pediatric dentistry.
It can be stated that we pedodontists have a degree of farsight in the treatment of traumatic injuries to the teeth regarding children (the theme of the lecture), since the injured teeth are treated not only as items to be restored but also as a part of the growing body with careful consideration on the effects with regard to orlo-facial growth.
