Trauma III - Luxation Permanent Flashcards
What is concussion?
Injury to supporting structures of tooth w/o abnormal loosening or displacement
What may pt complain about with concussion?
Tender to pressure
What is subluxation?
Injury to supporting tissue with abnormal loosening but without displacement
What is lateral luxation?
Bodily movement of tooth within the socket
Issue during lateral luxation?
Can rupture neurovasular bundle
Crush PDL cells
What is extrusion?
Axial displacement of tooth out of socket
Appear elongated
What is intrusion?
Tooth forced upwards into socket
Issue w/ intrusion?
Crush PDL/neurovascular bundle
Damage successor if into follicle
What is avulsion?
Tooth lost from socket
What affects prognosis if pulpal involvement?
Type of injury
Age pt - mature/immature apex
What are diff types of healing pulp can display?
Complete healing
Canal obliteration
Pulp necrosis
Resorption
3 types of resorption?
Inflammatory/ external
Replacement
Internal
What is inflammatory resorption?
External resorption
Continuation surface resorption due toxin from necrotic pulp
Can external resorption be stopped?
Progressive until bacterial removed (e.g extirpation)
Can be filled cementum/ bone on healing
What is replacement resoprtion?
Ankylosis-related
What is replacement resorption related to?
Extensive PDL damage - osteoclasts direct contract w/ dentine
Cause progressive replacement resorption
What is internal resorption related to?
Infection - necrotic pulp
How does internal resorption appear on radiograph?
Ballooning of canal w/ rapid progression
What is supportive advice?
Soft diet 7 days Analgesia OHI CHX if too sore brush Review
Tx for concussion?
Supportive advice
Monitor 4 weeks/ 1 year
Tx for subluxation?
Normally supportive and review
Flexible splint 2 weeks (if needed)
Monitor 2 weeks/ 3 months/ 6 months/ 1 year
Tx of extrusion?
Reposition
Flexible splint 2 weeks - +4 weeks marginal bone breakdown
Monitor 2,4,8,,12 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, years for 5 years
