The risk of healing complications in primary teeth with intrusive luxation – a retrospective cohort study

ConclusionsOver 80% of the intruded primary teeth re‐erupted spontaneously. However, nearly one third of the teeth showed complications such as pulp infection/periapical inflammation or ankylosis, which could potentially affect the development of the permanent incisor. Therefore patients should be monitored regularly, especially during the first year after injury, in order to diagnose and treat complications in time.This article is protected by copyright.
