title: Treatment of luxation traumatic injuries: definition and classification in the literature.
abstract: Luxation traumatic injuries affect the hard tissues and may involve periodontal tissues in severe cases. Periodontal healing must be considered during treatment of traumatic injuries that result in total luxation of the teeth. Pulpal healing is essential for the endodontic prognosis of a reimplanted tooth, as well as for its periodontal healing. Luxation injuries can be further classified as intrusive, extrusive, and/or lateral; this categorization further facilitates the mode of splinting and repositioning utilized during treatment. This article reviews various types of dentoalveolar traumatic injuries and discusses commonly incorporated treatment modalities.
