Summary
Intrusive luxation injuries affect 4-22% of primary anterior teeth, especially in toddlers. Treatment for these traumatic dental injuries depends on severity, often involving observation for spontaneous re-eruption.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Dentistry
- Dental Traumatology
Background:
- Intrusive luxation injuries represent 4-22% of anterior primary teeth damage, often caused by axial impact.
- These injuries are more prevalent in children aged 1-3 years due to the inherent resilience of primary teeth and their supporting structures.
Observation:
- Treatment decisions for intrusive luxation are guided by trauma severity and displacement direction.
- Radicular displacement typically occurs towards the labial bone plate in most cases.
- The clinical approach often involves observation to allow for spontaneous re-eruption.
Findings:
- This study reviews literature on intrusive luxation of primary incisors.
- Two case reports of pediatric patients with intrusive luxation injuries are presented.
Implications:
- Understanding the factors influencing treatment decisions for intrusive luxation is crucial for pediatric dentists.
- Observation for spontaneous re-eruption is a viable management strategy for specific cases of primary incisor intrusion.
- This review and case series contribute to the evidence base for managing traumatic dental injuries in young children.

01:15Teeth
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

01:21Tooth Anatomy
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.

01:29Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction
Intervertebral disc herniation refers to the displacement of the nucleus pulposus (the gel-like inner core of the disc) through a tear or weakened area in the annulus fibrosus (the outer fibrous ring). The displaced disc material extends beyond the normal boundaries of the disc space and may compress or irritate nearby spinal nerve roots or, less commonly, the spinal cord.Etiology and Risk FactorsHerniation commonly results from degeneration, in which aging reduces disc hydration and...
01:29Bone Formation by Intramembranous Ossification
Intramembranous ossification is one of the two processes involved in the development of bones within an embryo. The flat bones of the face, most of the cranial bones, and the clavicles are formed via this process. During intramembranous ossification, the bones develop directly from sheets of undifferentiated mesenchymal connective tissue.
The process begins when mesenchymal cells in the embryonic skeleton gather together and differentiate into osteogenic cells, which then develop into...
