Management of Dental Dislocation
Disease description:
Department of Stomatology
After a tooth luxation is detected, emergency repositioning should be performed immediately. Repositioning methods include manual reduction and instrument-assisted reduction. Manual reduction is suitable for mild tooth luxations, in which the tooth is gently pressed back into its original position using the fingers. Instrument-assisted reduction is used for more severe luxations and requires special instruments to reposition the tooth. After repositioning, measures must be taken to immobilize the tooth to prevent it from becoming dislodged again. Commonly used methods include dental splints and root stabilizers. Immobilization typically lasts 2–3 weeks, followed by regular follow-up visits to ensure tooth stability. It is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and undergo treatment under the guidance of a qualified dentist.
