Abstract
Background: Almost half of all traumatic dental injuries accounts for luxation and involves mostly maxillary incisors during childhood and adolescence. The response of dental pulp to traumatic luxation injuries can be survival, calcification or necrosis, which depends on the severity, type of injury along with the developmental stage of the tooth. Methods: A 12 year old boy sustained traumatic lateral luxation and extrusion injuries of different types to his maxillary permanent incisors that were repositioned and stabilized for 1 month and managed without endodontic intervention. Findings: The assessment was carried at the end of the follow-up period revealed continued root growth and apical development along the absence of pulpal and periapical disease and retention of the maxillary incisors in a state of health and normal function. Conclusion: To determine the progress and prognosis of pulpal healing for traumatically luxated teeth, careful and continual assessment becomes imperative.
