Mr. Doe presented on 12/9/12 for a brief exam.  He explained that on October 31, 2009 he tripped at work, hitting his chin on some iron.  He went to the Emergency Room, where he was referred to an Oral Surgeon, Dr. OS.  Dr. OS diagnosed multiple jaw fractures and broken teeth.  She splinted the upper and lower jaws together, and extracted teeth #12 and 29.

Significant clinical findings:

• Fractured enamel on teeth 3, 4, 10, 13, 14, 15.
• Sensitive upper and lower anterior teeth.

• Missing teeth 12 & 29 since accident.
• Generalized increased tooth mobility.
• Caries on 6, and under old crowns on 18, 19, 30.
