Dental Examination
X-rays
Recording for identification purposes (dental x-rays are widely used to identify victims in tragedies and rule out others)

Fluoride Treatment
A thorough cleaning followed by a Fluoride treatment every 6 months has been shown to be an extremely effective way to prevent dental disease.
Dental Sealants
A sealant is a protective coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces (grooves) of the back teeth (premolars and molars), where four out of five permanent tooth cavities in children are found. This sealant acts as a barrier to food, plaque and acid, thus protecting the decay-prone areas of the teeth.
Space Maintainers
If a primary molar is removed prematurely, the placement of a space maintainer is usually recommended to preserve space for the permanent replacement

Fillings
Amalgam fillings (made from an alloy of metals) provide good durability and can be used in areas where moisture control is difficult to achieve. It has widely been studied due to it’s content of trace amounts of mercury. The ADA Council on Scientific Affairs prepared a comprehensive literature review on amalgam safety and reaffirmed at it’s July 2009 meeting that “the scientific evidence supports its valuable, viable, and safe choice for dental patients”
Resin Composite
Composite resin or “tooth colored” fillings provide good durability and resistance to fracture in small to mid size fillings that need to withstand moderate pressure. They are chemically bonded and can therefore be used in some instances where amalgam fillings cannot. They do not require a specific depth of material so allow for more conservative prepping in some circumstances. They do require a completely dry environment which in same cases may prove difficult.
Crowns
Stainless steel crowns are indicated for the restoration of baby (and sometimes permanent) molars when the teeth have large cavities or cavities involving multiple surfaces, when pulp/ nerve therapy has been performed, when teeth have fractured, or for patients with severe grinding or dental disorders affecting the enamel of their teeth.

Pulpotomy
A pulpotomy removes the diseased pulp tissue within the crown portion of the tooth. Next, an agent is placed to prevent bacterial growth and to calm the remaining nerve tissue. This is followed by a final restoration (usually a stainless steel crown).
Root Canal Treatment
Dental caries (cavities) and traumatic injury are the main reasons for a tooth to require pulp therapy. Pulp therapy is often referred to as a "nerve treatment", "children's root canal", "pulpectomy" or "pulpotomy". The two common forms of pulp therapy in children's teeth are the pulpotomy and pulpectomy.
