Abstract
Aim: This case report discusses an 11-year-old patient who experienced intrusive luxation of the anterior teeth due to trauma. The condition was treated with nonsurgical root canal treatment (NS-ReTx) followed by decoronation.
Background: Intrusive luxation, a prevalent dental injury in children, necessitates prompt intervention. Nonsurgical root canal treatment, a conservative approach, is frequently employed. Decoronation, which involves the removal of the damaged tooth structure, is crucial for access and cleaning. This procedure, followed by restorative care, can help preserve the tooth and prevent future complications.
Case description: An 11-year-old male patient with luxative intrusion of teeth 11 and 21 was treated conservatively with nonsurgical root canal therapy, followed by the decoronation of tooth 11.
Conclusion: Effective management of dental trauma in children is essential for achieving optimal long-term outcomes and promoting healthy alveolar bone development. Following established treatment protocols is vital for preserving permanent teeth and reducing complications such as root resorption. Ongoing research is dedicated to refining techniques to enhance success rates. Specialized care is critical for maintaining the integrity and supporting the growth of injured teeth in young patients.
Clinical significance: Proper management of dental trauma in children is essential for achieving optimal long-term outcomes and promoting alveolar bone development. Adhering to established treatment protocols helps preserve permanent teeth and minimize complications, such as root resorption. Ongoing research continues to refine techniques to improve success rates. Specialized care is vital for ensuring the integrity and growth of injured teeth in young patients.
