Crown fractures w/ and w/o pulp exposure significantly increase the risk of pulp necrosis + infection in teeth w/ what type of dental injury?
Lateral luxation
30
Radiographs to take for dental trauma
* One parallel PA aimed through the midline to show the two maxillary central incisors * One parallel PA aimed at the maxillary right lateral incisor (should also show the right canine + central incisor) * One parallel PA aimed at the maxillary left lateral incisor (should also show the left canine + central incisor) * One maxillary occlusal radiograph * At least one parallel PA of the lower incisors centered on the two mandibular centrals
31
Why do we also take an occlusal radiograph in addition to PA's for dental trauma?
Occlusal radiograph provides a different vertical view of the injured teeth + surrounding tissue, which is helpful in detecting lateral luxation, root fracture, and alveolar bone fractures

* Allow re-eruption * If no re-eruption in **4 wks**, initiate orthodontic repositioning * Monitor * Spontaneous revascularization may occur
43
Intrusive luxation: mature permanent teeth tx

Yes - at a higher risk of pulp necrosis
52
