Evaluation
Management
Extrusive Luxation
- Reposition tooth
- Follow up within 24hr for stabilization
- Temporizing measure: Periodontal pack in which tooth is bonded to its two neighboring teeth on both sides
Lateral Luxation
- More extensive injury than extrusive luxation
- Associated with cracking or fracture of the surrounding alveolar bone
- Attempt repositioning of tooth
- Apply temporary splinting with periodontal dressing
- Follow up within 24hr for stabilization
Intrusive Luxation
- Most serious because of significant damage to alveolar socket and periodontal ligament
- Allow tooth to erupt on its own
