Partial and total luxations of permanent teeth in children: Clinical management

Dentoalveolar trauma, very frequent during childhood and adolescence, generally results in tooth fracture and/or partial or total luxation. Management of the pulpal and periodontal aspects of these traumatic cases is complex. The prognosis is improved if treatment is initiated promptly. Multidisciplinary management of these situations and regular patient follow-up make it possible to detect complications quickly and take the necessary action to maintain the teeth as long as possible in a healthy periodontal environment that allows harmonious development and the application of appropriate treatment in adulthood.
