Mandibular incisors whose crowns are pointed back into the mouth as the result of trauma display which type of luxation?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lateral luxation is a type of luxation in which the tooth is displaced in a direction other than axial (up or down). In the case of mandibular incisors with crowns pointing back into the mouth, this indicates that the tooth has been laterally luxated towards the tongue. Concussion is a mild injury in which the tooth is tender but not displaced. Subluxation is a partial dislocation in which the tooth is loose but still in its socket. Extruded luxation is when the tooth is displaced out of its socket in an axial direction.
