Background/AimTraumatic dental injuries (TDI) in the primary dentition occur frequently. Long-term complications may potentially cause damage to the permanent successor. The aim of this study was to report the risk of pulp necrosis (PN), pulp canal obliteration (PCO), infection-related resorption (IRR), ankylosis-related resorption (ARR) and premature tooth loss (PTL) in primary teeth following extrusion or lateral luxation and to identify risk factors for PN and PTL.
Material and MethodsThis was a retrospective study of 24 patients with 26 extruded primary teeth and 242 patients with 331 primary teeth with lateral luxation. Laterally luxated teeth were left without treatment. Extruded teeth were repositioned. Follow up included examination after 4weeks, 8weeks, 6months, 1year and when the patients were 6years old. The minimum follow up was 1year or until tooth loss. Kaplan-Meier and Aahlen-Johansson tests were used along with Cox regression analysis. The level of significance was 5%.
ResultsRisk estimated after 3yearsExtrusion: PCO 39.8% (95% CI: NA), PN 15.6% (95% CI: 1.5-29.7), IRR 3.8% (95% CI: 0-11.2) and PTL 43.3% (95% CI: 25.5-61.2). All cases of PN and PTL occurred within the first year. Lateral luxation: PCO 41.3% (CI: 95% 35.7-46.9), PN 19.8% CI: 95% (15.3-24.2), IRR 7.0% (95% CI: 4.1-9.8), ARR 1.4% (95% CI: 0-3.3) and PTL 24.8% (95% CI: 18.8-30.8). Risk factors for PN: concomitant crown fracture and patient aged 4years or more. Nearly all teeth (95%) realigned spontaneously within the first year. Nearly all cases of PN and PTL (95.7%) occurred within the first year.
ConclusionThe healing potential for laterally luxated teeth was high and more than half of the extruded teeth, which were repositioned after injury, showed long-term survival.
