Question 615 · LDEK · Dental trauma

Indicate false statement regarding the management of a permanent tooth with luxation and lateral displacement:

  1. A. the fixation period is 4 weeks.
  2. B. in immature teeth, pulp revascularization usually occurs.
  3. C. the tooth is fixated with a flexible splint.
  4. D. the tooth should be freed from its locked position and repositioned correctly.
  5. E. teeth with incomplete development undergo spontaneous repositioning.
Hint

In lateral luxation the apex is locked in the alveolar bone — which injury type is the one where immature teeth re-erupt by themselves?
