58
Q

What is the treatment for a root fracture in a primary tooth?

A

No treatment indicated, but review 1 week and 6-8 weeks.

61
Q

What treatment should be done for subluxation of a primary tooth?

A

No treatment indicated, but review 1 week and 6-8 weeks.

Monitor to see if dark discoloured crown develops - if so could be a sign of infection.

62
Q

What treatment should be done for extrusive luxation of a primary tooth?

A

If less than 3mm, attempt to replace the tooth carefully or leave for spontaneous realignment.

Extraction if severe extrusion.

63
Q

What treatment should be done for lateral luxation of a primary tooth?

A

If no occlusal interference, allow for spontaneous repositioning.

If occlusal interference present, then tooth can be gently repositioned, with combined labial and palatal pressure.

For severe labial displacement, extraction is indicated.

A

If apex is displaced through bone plate, allow for spontaneous repositioning.
