Life cycles of traumatised teeth series 2.
AUSTRALIAN DENTAL JOURNAL(2016)
Abstract
In this the second of a series of life cycles of dental trauma victims, the short and particularly long-term responses of four survivors of either multiple luxation injuries or avulsions have been documented over periods varying up to 41 years. The development of ankylosis, either in the short or longer term post trauma, proved a common feature in the series and management strategies have been outlined. External invasive resorption was also identified as a complicating response for which the topical application of trichloracetic acid, intracanal dressing and root canal obturation proved effective in resorption management. Long-term observations indicate that some compromised teeth can be functionally and aesthetically retained for extended periods, but follow-up examinations are important so that treatment interventions can be implemented if adverse responses are diagnosed.
