Defining and Classifying Luxation Injuries
Jean-Paul Schatz, DMD
Learning Objectives:
This video reviews the various types of and treatment
modalities for dentoalveolar traumatic injuries. Upon watching this video, the
viewer should:
- Demonstrate
an understanding of individual hard and periodontal tissue injuries
- Have
an awareness of the various modes of periodontal healing
Luxation traumatic injuries affect the hard tissues and may
involve periodontal tissues in severe cases. Periodontal healing must be
considered during treatment of traumatic injuries that result in total luxation
of the teeth. Pulpal healing is essential for the endodontic prognosis of a
reimplanted tooth, as well as for its periodontal healing. Luxation injuries
can be further classified as intrusive, extrusive, and/or lateral; this categorization
further facilitates the mode of splinting and repositioning utilized during
treatment. This video reviews various types of dento-alveolar traumatic
injuries and discusses commonly incorporated treatment modalities.
