– Fifty‐eight traumatically intruded and mainly surgically extruded permanent teeth were followed up for 3 years and 4 months (mid‐term results: 29 teeth) and 9 months (short‐term results: 29 teeth) on average. Statistically, the mid‐term results showed more cases of severe crown discoloration (54%) than the short‐term results (9%), but no difference in pulpal and periodontal healing. Three teeth (5%) were lost. Factors which positively influenced pulpal healing were shallow intrusion depth, intact crown and immaturity of the root. Factors which positively influenced periodontal healing were shallow intrusion depth and minimal surgical manipulation. Alveolar bone healing was positively influenced only by shallow intrusion depth.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
