The management of traumatic dental injuries

Tex Dent J. 2003 Mar;120(3):270-5.

Abstract

Traumatic dental injuries are classified typically as luxation, avulsion, and horizontal root fracture injuries. However, the most confusing aspect of treatment is generally centered on luxation and avulsion injuries. As clinicians, it can be somewhat confusing as to which regime is the most appropriate treatment, since there are a variety of guidelines and treatment modalities.
