Year: 1999
Purpose :
This research was designed to assess the outcome of intruded incisors looking back through a retrospective study
Method:
196 children, 310 intruded primary incisors presented to an emergency clinic. 110 chldren or 172 teeth were reevaluated at a later date. Male to female ratio was 1.7:1 and age range was between 12 and 72 months. Follow up time ranged between 0 and 59 months.
Results:
Fifty seven percent of all teth were completely intruded. 55 of those teeth reerupted. 45% of these reerupted into an ectopic position. 52% showed pulp obliteration. 23 teeth required extraction. 68% survived more than 36 months after the accident.
Conclusion:
Survival rate: 68% for 36 months after accident
88% will completely reerupt
Ectopic eruption is very common
Habits such as pacifier sucking or thumb sucking may prevent full eruption
Systemic antibiotics did not seem to have an outcome affecting the result of the tooth
Pulp canal obliteration is the most common sequelae following an intruded prim. incisor
