Luxation injuries in permanent and primary dentition: diagnosis, treatment, prognosis - A literature review Berenstein - Ajzman G., Aharonian S., Blumer S. Department of Pediatric Dentistry ,The Maurice and Gabriela Goldschleger School of Dental Medicine ,Tel Aviv University ,Tel Aviv ,Israel.

Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) occur frequently in children and young adults, comprising 5% of all injuries. 25% of all school children experience dental trauma and 33% of adults have experienced trauma to the permanent dentition, with the majority of the injuries occurring before age 19. A dental injury should be considered an emergency and should ideally be treated immediately to relieve pain ,facilitate reduction of displaced teeth and for some injuries also improve prognosis. Some injuries may even have social and psychological implications.

Luxation injuries are involving the periodontal and supporting structures. They are among the most common dental injuries, comprise 15–61% of dental traumas to permanent teeth, and 62-73% in primary teeth. Luxation injuries are classified by Andreasen as: concussion, subluxation, extrusive luxation, lateral luxation and intrusive luxation. Every injury requires a different treatment and follow up protocols. Adequate clinical and radiographic examinations are important for proper diagnosis, treatment planning and follow ups to assure a favorable outcome especially in the young patient.
