17
Q

what is the treatment for an enamel fracture

A

smooth sharp edges

18
Q

what is the treatment for an enamel/ dentine fracture

A

cover all exposed dentine with GI or composite

19
Q

what are treatment options for enamel/ dentine/ pulp fracture

A

partial pulpotomy
extract

20
Q

what is the treatment for crown/ root fracture if it is restorable and there is no pulp exposed

A

cover exposed dentine with GI

21
Q

what is the treatment for crown/ root fracture where the tooth is restorable but the pulp is exposed

A

pulpotomy or endo

21
Q

what is the treatment for crown/ root fracture if tooth is unrestorable

A

extract loose fragments

22
Q

what is the treatment for root fracture where coronal fragment is not displaced

A

no treatment

23
Q

what is the treatment for root fracture where the coronal fragment is displaced but not excessively mobile

A

leave coronal fragment to spontaneously reposition even if some occlusal interference

24
Q

what is the treatment for root fracture where coronal fragment is displaced and excessively mobile and interfering with occlusion

A

extract
reposition loose coronal fragment and splint

25
Q

what is the management for a concussion injury

A

no treatment
observe

26
Q

what is the management for a subluxation injury

A

no treatment
observe

27
Q

what is the treatment for lateral luxation with minimal occlusal interference

A

allow to reposition spontaneously

28
Q

what is the treatment for a lateral luxation with severe displacement

A

extract
reposition and splint

29
Q

what is the management for an intrusion injury

A

allow to spontaneously reposition, irrespective of direction of displacement

30
Q

what is the management for an extrusion injury that is not interfering with occlusion

A

spontaneous repositioning

31
Q

what is the management of an extrusion injury with excessive mobility or extruded more than 3mm

A

extract

32
Q

what is the management of an avulsion injury

A

radiograph to confirm avulsion
do not replant

33
Q
