Managing Displaced Teeth: Diagnosis and Treatment
1. Prepared by: Dr Krishna Meghana. E
Guided by - Dr Jacob G daniel
National institute of clinical endodontics
2. Introduction to displaced tooth
History and examination
Types of displacement injuries
Concussion – diagnosis, management
Horizontal displacements- a.minor b.major
diagnosis & management.
Vertical displacement – intrusion and extrusion,
diagnosis & management
Importance of Follow up in Management
Sequelae of displaced tooth
3. Biologically two features are common for
all displaced teeth, irrespective of
direction of displacement
1.The main vascular and neural bundle
entering into the pulp cavity through the
apical foramen is either stretched or
snapped during the displacement.
2.The PDL attachment either damaged or
completely torn all around the tooth.
4. Knowledge of these two features are
important for proper management and
follow up of prognosis
The physiology of both internal and
external structures of the tooth being
deranged, biologic reaction following
treatment becomes unpredictable
5. Case History
Chief complaint
History of present illness
Medical History
8. Injuries which do not cause clinically
discernible displacements are categorized as
concussion injuries
Based on the direction of dislocation
A. Horizontal displacements – buccal,
lingual, mesial & distal
B. Vertical displacements
1. Intrusion
2. Extrusion
9. An injury to the tooth-supporting
structures with slight mobility or
without increased mobility of the tooth,
but with pain to percussion.
10. tooth is slight mobile
but not displaced
periodontal ligament (PDL)
absorbs injury and becomes
inflamed
leaves tooth tender to biting
pressure and percussion
CONCUSSION
11. Visual sign:
not displaced
Percussion test:
tender to touch or tapping
Mobility test:
no increased mobility
CONCUSSION
12. Pulp Test:
are unreliable
the future vitality of the pulp will depend on
the severity of the injury to the vascular
bundle at the apical foramen
lack of response to the test indicates an
increased risk of later pulp necrosis
CONCUSSION
13. Radiographic findings:
no radiographic abnormalities
Radiographs:
occlusal, periapical, lateral view from mesial ,
distal aspect of suspected tooth should be taken
CONCUSSION
14. Treatment Objectives:
usually there is no immediate treatment
except relieving the tooth from occlusion
Treatment:
frequent follow up at 1,3,6,12 month intervals
is mandatory
monitor pulpal condition for at least 1 year
CONCUSSION
15. Patient Instructions:
soft food for 1 week
brush with soft bristle
rinse with chlorhexidine
0.1% to prevent plaque
accumulation
CONCUSSION
16. Horizontal displacements may be in
buccal, lingual ,mesial or Distal direction
For the management purpose horizontal
displacement divided into
A. Minor displacement
B. Major displacement
18. It requires only repositioning and splinting of tooth
during the emergency treatment
Splint can be removed after week or two
Root canal treatment need not be initiated immediately.
19. Follow up is mandatory
As up to half of all such teeth may lose
vitality of the pulp.
Tooth be carefully observed for either
signs of non vital tooth or external root
resorption
20. At the first evidence of either of the two, the
pulp canal be cleaned and temporarily filled with
calcium hydroxide paste or powder
This chemical which has a PH of around 11.4 is
believed to prevent external resorption by
diffusing through the dentinal tubule and
reaching the external surface of the root
21. Major displacements in which the clinician believes that
the blood supply to the tooth must have got cut off
•root canal treatment should be instituted
It is recommended that the tooth be repositioned and
splinted in the emergency appointments and after a week
RCT can be done
This 1 week delay is in order to allow for the healing of the
PDL
Instituting RCT immediately could apply more stress on
the already torn PDL Increasing the chance for the external
resorption
22. Special care should be shown if patient reports
for treatment after blood clot is fully formed In that
part of socket left by the displaced tooth
Although it may be tempting, clinician must
desist from repositioning the tooth by applying
pressure against the clot
23. Application of such a pressure can adversely
affect the status of the torn PDL on the surface of
the root and increase the chance for external
resorption
The tooth either be allowed to heal in the
displaced position and subsequently brought to
the desired (original) position using orthodontic
means or the tooth be extracted and the socket
cleansed off of the clot using saline & treatment
proceeded as that for an avulsed tooth
25. The behavior of extruded tooth is similar
to that of horizontally displaced tooth
except for the higher chance of necrosis
of the pulp and requirement for two
month splinting
26.
27. Intruded tooth behave in a more complicated manner &
are managed as follows
Intruded tooth should always be decided for root canal
treatment as almost always the pulp of an intruded tooth
dies
One week after the repositioning and splinting
procedure root canal may be opened and filled with
calcium hydroxide to reduce the possibility of occurrence
of external resorption
28. Ankylosis is known to occur subsequent to
intrusion
Turley et al have demonstrated in animal studies
that Ankylosis might get initiated within a week time
following Intrusive injuries
29. It has been recommended that the tooth should
be preferred ,to be moved to its original position
using orthodontic means rather than forceps in a
single attempt as complications are less
following such relatively slow repositioning
30. In cases of teeth with incompletely formed apex there
is no need for immediate iatrogenic intervention for
repositioning of tooth
The tooth can be kept under close observation as
there is chance for the re-eruption of the tooth and also
it has better chance for survival of the pulp
However frequent & careful monitoring of immature
permanent tooth is important as it has been reported
that resorption once sets in, progresses rapidly in these
teeth
31. Soft food for 1 week.
Good healing following an injury to the teeth and
oral tissues depends, in part, on good oral
hygiene.
Brushing with a soft brush and rinsing with
chlorhexidine 0.1 % is beneficial to prevent
accumulation of plaque and debris.
FOLLOW-UP
after 2 weeks.
Splint removal and follow-up after 4 weeks,
6-8 weeks, 6 months, 1 year and yearly for 5 years
32. Follow up of the tooth for knowing
1.Signs of necrosis of the pulp forms
2.External root resorption
3.Healing of PDL & BONE
4.Ankylosis
33. Yellow discoloration
Grey discoloration
Resorption – 5 to 15%
Incomplete root formation
Primary teeth – pulp space obliteration
by calcification
