[Obligation to document front tooth injuries in adolescents for forensic purposes]. 1980

A Herforth

Following trauma to the anterior teeth during adolescence, exact clinical and roentgenologic records of the findings as well as documentation of the direct and indirect consequences of the trauma are required for forensic, evaluatory, and insurance reasons. Regular control examinations over a period of several years are necessary, since secondary damage may only be demonstrable after a periof of one year or even longer. The use of a uniform medical examination form was recommended to improve and compare documentation of the consequences of injuries to the anterior teeth.
