Management of multiple intrusive luxative injuries: A case report with 7-year follow-up

Abstract

This report presents a case of severe intrusive luxation of multiple anterior teeth in an 11-yearold

girl. The teeth were repositioned successfully by endodontic and orthodontic management.

The case was monitored for 7 years. Depending on the severity of the injury, different clinical

approaches for treatment of intrusive luxation may be used. Despite the variety of treatment

modalities, rehabilitation of intruded teeth is always a challenge and a multidisciplinary approach is

important to achieve a successful result. In this case, intruded teeth were endodontically treated

with multiple calcium hydroxide dressings and repositioned orthodontically. The follow-up of such

cases is very important as the repair process after intrusion is complex. After 7 years, no clinical

or radiographic pathology was detected.
