31
Q

Primary Crown- root fractue treatment?

A
  • Remove the loose fragment and determine if crown can be restored
  • If pulp exposed - pulpotomy or pulpectomy

Q

How to treat a a primary root fracture with undisplaced coronal fragment?

A

No treatment

33
Q

Leave to spontaneously reposition

34
Q

2 treatment options for a primary root fracture with coronal fragment displaced and excessive mobility and occlusal interference?

A
  • Extract loose coronal fragment
  • Reposition the loose fragment and splint
35
Q

How to treat primary subluxation and concussion?

A

Observe

36
Q

3 treatment options for primary lateral luxation?

A

  • If severe displacement - Extract or reposition and splint
37
Q

How to treat Primary intrusion injuries?

A

Allow to spontaneously reposition

38
Q

2 types of radiographs to know direction of displacement of a primary intrusion injury?

A
  • Periapical
  • Lateral pre-maxilla
39
Q

A patient got an intrusion injury , a radiograph was taken where you can see the apical tip of the intruded tooth and the tooth appears shorter than contralateral tooth , what is the direction of displacement?

A
  • Apex displaced towards or through labial bone
40
Q

A child got an intrusion injury, a radiograph was taken where you cannot see the apex of the tooth and tooth appears longer than contralateral, what is the direction of displacement?

A
  • Toward the permanent tooth germ
41
Q

2 management options of primary extrusion injuries?

A
  • Spontaneous repositioning if not interfering with occlusion

46
Q

A primary tooth was injured and the colour of it is grey, what might this indicate?

A

tooth is vital

47
