Study Notes
Luxation Symptoms and Diagnosis
- Unresponsive tooth to vitality testing indicates pulp necrosis luxation.
- High metallic sound produced during percussion testing indicates lateral luxation.
- Displacement on a steep occlusal radiograph reveals lateral luxation.
Treatment of Luxation Injuries
- Teeth with incomplete root formation after intrusive injury should be treated with spontaneous eruption.
- If there are no signs of eruption after 1 month following spontaneous eruption, orthodontic or surgical repositioning may be necessary.
- Intrusive luxation with completed root development and a high risk of pulp necrosis should be treated with surgical repositioning.
- Lateral luxation may be treated with orthodontic extrusion.
- Teeth with closed apices after avulsion require tetracycline or alternative antibiotic as a prophylactic measure against root resorption.
- If a tooth has contacted soil after avulsion, it should be rinsed with saline solution or sterile water.
Radiographic Techniques
- Bisecting angle radiography gives a better indication of the amount of axial displacement in extrusive luxation.
- Steep occlusal radiograph reveals displacement in lateral luxation.
Antibiotic Therapy
- Tetracycline is the first choice antibiotic for younger patients after avulsion.
- Alternative antibiotic to tetracycline for younger patients after avulsion is doxycycline.
Monitoring and Follow-up
- The main goal of monitoring an intrusive injury is to watch for signs of pulp necrosis.
- If there are no signs of eruption after 1 month following spontaneous eruption, alternative treatment options should be considered.
