Luxation Injuries Treatment for Displaced Teeth Treatment Procedures

At London Dental Specialists, we offer advanced treatment procedures for luxation injuries to effectively reposition and stabilise displaced teeth. Our expert endodontists utilise state-of-the-art techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

The treatment process typically involves:

1. Tooth Repositioning: We carefully reposition the displaced tooth to its original position using gentle digital pressure or specialised dental instruments. This is often done under local anaesthesia for patient comfort.



2. Splinting: Once repositioned, we stabilise the tooth using a flexible splint. The duration of splinting varies depending on the type and severity of luxation:
   
   
   
   • Subluxation and extrusive luxation: 2 weeks
   
   
   • Lateral luxation: 4 weeks
   
   
   • Intrusive luxation: 4-8 weeks
   
   
   
   



3. Pulp Treatment: In cases where pulp damage is suspected, we may perform pulp vitality tests and, if necessary, initiate root canal treatment to prevent infection-related resorption.

For specific types of luxation, we employ the following procedures:

• Extrusive Luxation: We gently reposition the tooth and apply a flexible splint for 2-4 weeks. Follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor pulp vitality.



• Lateral Luxation: After repositioning, we stabilise the tooth with a flexible splint for 4 weeks. We may also suture any gingival lacerations, particularly in the cervical area.



• Intrusive Luxation: Treatment depends on the degree of intrusion and root development:
  
  
  
  • For teeth with incomplete root formation, we may allow for spontaneous re-eruption or use orthodontic repositioning.
  
  
  • For teeth with complete root formation, we may perform surgical repositioning followed by splinting.
  
  
  
  

Throughout the treatment process, we prioritise:

• Minimising the risk of infection


• Preserving pulp vitality where possible


• Preventing root resorption and ankylosis


• Restoring proper occlusion and aesthetics

Our team at London Dental Specialists provides comprehensive aftercare instructions, including:

• Oral hygiene guidelines to prevent infection


• Dietary recommendations to protect the healing tooth


• Follow-up schedule for monitoring progress


• Signs of complications to watch for

Prompt treatment is crucial for successful outcomes in luxation injuries. Our experienced endodontists are committed to providing timely, expert care to preserve your natural teeth and restore your smile.

Post Luxation Injuries Treatment for Displaced Teeth Treatment Care

Proper aftercare is essential for successful healing following luxation injury treatment. At London Dental Specialists, we provide comprehensive post-treatment care to ensure optimal recovery and prevent complications after your displaced tooth has been repositioned and stabilised.

Your post-treatment care will include:

• Regular follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress


• Assessment of pulp vitality and tooth stability


• Removal of splints at the appropriate time


• Evaluation for potential root canal treatment if needed

During the recovery period, we recommend:

1. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene with gentle brushing using a soft-bristled toothbrush


2. Rinsing with chlorhexidine mouthwash for the first week to prevent infection


3. Following a soft diet for 2-4 weeks to avoid placing pressure on the healing tooth


4. Avoiding contact sports and high-risk activities during the healing phase

Long-term monitoring is crucial following luxation injuries as complications can develop months or even years after treatment. Our specialists will schedule periodic check-ups to assess:

• Signs of pulp necrosis (death of the nerve)


• Root resorption (breakdown of tooth root structure)


• Ankylosis (fusion of tooth to bone)


• Periodontal healing and gum health

Typical follow-up schedule includes:

If you notice any concerning symptoms between appointments, contact us immediately. Warning signs that require prompt attention include:

• Increased tooth mobility


• Persistent pain or sensitivity


• Swelling or discharge around the tooth


• Discolouration of the tooth crown


• Changes in tooth position

At London Dental Specialists, our commitment to your oral health extends well beyond the initial treatment. We provide thorough guidance and support throughout your recovery process to ensure the best possible long-term outcome for your luxation injury.
