Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Traumatic intrusion is when the tooth is forced into the alveolus (socket) so that only a portion of the crown is visible. This can result in damage to the tooth's roots and surrounding tissues. Avulsion is when the entire tooth is knocked out of its socket. Displacement is when the tooth is moved from its normal position. Ankylosis is when the tooth becomes fused to the surrounding bone, usually as a result of trauma. None of these fully describe when the teeth are forcibly driven into the alveolus so that only a portion of the crown is visible, making C the best choice.
