35
Q

The tooth reacts differently to different types of trauma. What is when there is a congestion of blood in the pulp chamber and the color is often reddish? What is caused by increased pressure which causes the rupture of capillaries and the escape of red blood cells and a breakdown in pigmentation which usually does not have a color change but can go dark?

A
  • Pulpal Hyperemia
  • Internal Hemorrhage
  • Calcific Metamorphosis of the Dental Pulp

43
Q

48
Q

With permanent teeth that are intruded less than 7 mm and have an open apex, what should be done?
