A retrospective cohort study of pulp prognosis in luxated permanent teeth: a competing risk analysis.

Aim: The present retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate luxated permanent teeth for pulp prognosis and risk factors.

Methodology: Case records and radiographs of 224 patients, involving 427 luxated permanent teeth, referred for treatment at the Dental Trauma Center-School of Dentistry, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, (DTC-SD-UFMG) from 2014 to 2022, were assessed for pulp prognosis classified as vitality, necrosis and pulp canal obliteration (PCO). A competing risk survival analysis estimated the hazards of the three outcomes, and the effect of demographic, clinical and treatment variables was tested using a cause specific Cox regression model.
