Abstract ABSTRACT:
Background: Lateral luxation is a traumatic dental injury characterized by displacement of a tooth in a direction other than its long axis, often associated with damage to the periodontal ligament and alveolar socket. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to ensure favourable healing outcomes.
Aim: To present a case of lateral luxation in a permanent tooth and evaluate the clinical outcome following immediate repositioning and splinting.
Summary: A 12-year-old female patient reported to the department with trauma to the anterior maxillary region. Clinical examination revealed lateral displacement of the maxillary central incisor with tenderness. Radiographic findings confirmed lateral luxation without root fracture and an open apex with periapical radiolucency. The tooth was gently repositioned under local anaesthesia and stabilized using a flexible splint for 2–4 weeks, followed by routine post-operative care, endodontic procedure and instructions.
Results: Follow-up at regular intervals showed satisfactory healing with improved tooth stability, normal function, and no signs of pulp necrosis, root resorption, or ankylosis.
Conclusion: Immediate repositioning and appropriate splinting play a crucial role in the successful management of lateral luxation injuries. Regular follow-up is essential to monitor pulpal vitality and prevent long-term complications.
