Subluxation
SUBLUXATION
Horizontal and vertical mobility:
Apply a splint for 1-2 weeks.
( See: making a splint )
Horizontal mobility:
Fixation is not indicated. Recommend a soft diet for 1-2 weeks.
Follow-up:
All traumatized teeth are carefully observed for clinical and radiographic signs of complications. The intervals between
re-examinations should be individualised depending upon the severity of traume, the expected type of complication and the age
of the patient. A negative response to pulp test must be accompanied by other clinical and/or radiographic signs before necrosis
can be diagnosed. If pulpal necrosis develops, endodontic therapy is performed.
