Question 144 · LDEK · Trauma to permanent teeth
A 12-year-old girl had a tooth injury a few hours before the X-ray that revealed the final stage of root development of teeth 11 and 21 and the root of the tooth 11 fractured at a half of its length. Tooth 11 shows a slight displacement, the reaction of the pulp to the cold stimuli is normal. Indicate the proper treatment:
- A. reposition, rigid teeth splitting for 4 weeks and observation.
- B. reposition, elastic teeth splinting for 4 weeks and observation.
- C. reposition, elastic teeth splinting for 8-12 weeks and observation.
- D. reposition, performing pulp extirpation to the fracture line and splinting for a period of 8-12 weeks.
- E. removal of the coronal part of the tooth and orthodontic extrusion of the remaining root fragment.
Hint
Recall the current IADT splinting time for a mid-root fracture, and whether the splint should be rigid or flexible.
