In traumatic dental injury, concomitant occurrence of avulsion and intrusive luxation is exceptional. This is because the vectors of forces responsible for both avulsive and intrusive injuries are in different directions. The present case report reviews the management of a rare combination of avulsion in right maxillary lateral incisor (tooth #12) and intrusive luxation in right maxillary central incisor (tooth #11) in a 22-year-old Asian male. Clinical and radiographic evaluation was done at 12-month follow-up. Various treatment modalities and complications associated with both avulsion and intrusion are also discussed in the paper.

Objective: To assess the influence of conservative or invasive treatments on the appearance of sequelae in permanent successor teeth (SPT) after injuries in the support tissues of anterior deciduous teeth (ISTDT).

Methods: This cohort study accompanied 52 children with ISTDT up to the complete eruption of the permanent successor to investigate the presence or not of SPT. Trauma was clinically evaluated according to the International Association for Dental Traumatology.

Article Synopsis
  • Transient apical breakdown (TAB) is a temporary type of dental injury seen after tooth luxation, indicating root damage and subsequent healing, affecting about 4.2% of such injuries, according to a 1986 study.
  • This retrospective study analyzed data from 56 mature teeth of 49 patients aged 9-30 over 10 years to assess the incidence and healing of TAB after different types of dental luxation injuries.
  • Results showed high rates of TAB occurrence in various luxation injuries (subluxation 43.8%, extrusive 62.5%, lateral 75%), suggesting that mild injuries may heal spontaneously, allowing for delayed endodontic treatment until infection signs

Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) of teeth occur frequently in children and adolescents. TDIs that impact the periodontal tissues and alveolar tissue can be classified into concussion, subluxation, extrusive luxation, intrusive luxation, lateral luxation, and avulsion. In these TDIs, management of injured soft tissue, mainly periodontal ligament, and dental pulp, is crucial in maintaining the function and longevity of the injured teeth.

Article Synopsis
  • - A study investigated the effectiveness of orthodontic extrusion for repositioning intruded maxillary incisors, involving 28 treated cases and 29 control cases that naturally re-erupted.
  • - The orthodontic extrusion method had a high success rate of 96.4%, but showed a significantly higher rate of pulp necrosis in teeth with mature roots.
  • - Overall, the outcomes for periodontal healing were similar between both treatment options, and orthodontic extrusion was found to be a safe and effective alternative to spontaneous re-eruption.
