A

4

29
Q

What is a luxation injury where a force displaces the tooth out of the socket?

A

Extrusive luxation

30
Q

What is the only thing preventing the tooth from avulsion in an extrusive luxation?

A

Only gingival fibers

31
Q

What happens to the PDL fibers and the pulp tissue in extrusive luxation?

A

Both are stretched and severed

32
Q

How many PA’s are indicated for extrusive luxation?

A

4 PA’s

33
Q

What will a PA show for extrusive luxation?

A

Extrusion and widening of PDL space

34
Q

What is an injury where the tooth appears pushed into socket (the clinical crown appears shortened visually and on x-ray)?

A

Intrusive luxation

35
Q

Will a tooth with an intrusive luxation injury be mobile?

A

No. It may be locked into bone.

36
Q

How many radiographs are indicated for an intrusive luxation?

A

4 PA’s

37
Q

Due to extensive damage to the socket, what is the intruded tooth at risk for?

A

Replacement resorption

38
Q

What treatment should be expected for an intrusive luxation with a crushed neurovascular bundle?

A

NSRCT

39
Q

If the PDL is ripped on intrusive luxation, what should be placed to decrease the likelihood of replacement resorption?

A

Ca(OH)2

40
Q

What are 2 ways to reposition an intrusive luxation?

A

Surgically or orthodontically

41
Q

What apex has a better survival rate after an intrusive luxation?

A

Open

42
Q

What are 4 post-traumatic complications?

A
  1. Discoloration
  2. Pulpal necrosis
  3. Calcific metamorphosis
  4. Root resorption
43
Q

What are 3 types of root resorption?

A

  2. Ankylosis replacement resorption
  3. Inflammatory (infection related resorption)

Q

What percentage of teeth do not respond to EPT immediately after luxation?

A

50%

45
Q

What are 4 instances where EPT is unreliable?

A

Q

Which vitality test is better to perform in children?

A

Cold

47
Q

Will vital teeth with open apices always respond to cold test?

A

No

48
Q

Pulps of traumatized teeth should be considered vital for up to how long if there is the absence of what 3 things?

A

Vital for up to one year if there are NO radiolucencies, NO sinus tracts, NO abscesses

Q

Will a necrotic tooth following luxation be symptomatic?

A

No. They are normally asymptomatic.

After a luxation injury, what resorption appears as a lacunae of resorption in cementum of replanted teeth?

A

Surface resorption

Is surface tension usually evident on radiographs?

A

No

If surface resorption does not continue, the lacunae is repaired how?

A

Deposition of new cementum

62
Q

What resorption occurs as a response to the presence of infected necrotic pulp tissue in conjunction with injury to the periodontal ligament?

A

Inflammatory (infection-related) resorption

63
Q

What are 2 characteristics of inflammatory (infection-related) resorption?

A
  1. Loss of tooth structure

2. Loss of adjacent alveolar bone

64
Q

When will inflammatory (infection-related) resorption cease?

A

After removal of necrotic, infected pulp

65
Q

What is the indicated treatment for reimplanted teeth with closed apices to prevent the occurrence of inflammatory resorption?

A

Root canal treatment

66
Q

Resorption in which the tooth structure is resorbed and replaced by bone resulting in ankylosis?

A

Replacement (Ankylosis-related) resorption

67
Q

What are the characteristics of ankylosis?

A
  1. Lack of physiologic mobility
  2. Failure of tooth to erupt along with adjacent teeth

68

In teeth that have had long extraalveolar dry periods, the resorptive process can be slowed, but not halted by doing what?

A

Immersing tooth in fluoride before reimplantation

69
Q

A 
2 weeks
4 weeks
