Abstract

The goal of this protocol is to provide clear instructions which simplify the process of decision making and treatment of Luxation and Avulsion. In teeth with a closed apex, one should perform root canal therapy at the second appointment in teeth with injuries of luxation and avulsion (except for injuries of subluxation and concussion). The tooth should be reimplanted at site of accident if it possible. For avulsed teeth, the preferred storage medium is milk. One should condition the roots of teeth which have been avulsed. In teeth which have not finished development, the preferred treatment is to allow the continued development of the root.
