(tooth is moved partially out of the socket)
Reposition tooth
Follow up within 24hr for stabilization
Temporizing measure: Periodontal pack (e.g.-Coe-Pak) in which tooth is bonded to its two neighboring teeth on both sides
Mix the resin and catalyst paste and apply to completely dry teeth
May use nasal cannula with oxygen as a air/drying source
May place gauze rolls in mucobuccal fold to absorb saliva
Wet or lubricated goves will allow for easier handling
Apply splinting to the facial side of the teeth, spanning approximately 1-2 teeth in either direction
Avoid covering the occlusal (biting) surface

(tooth displaced in a direction other than inward or outward)
More extensive injury than extrusive luxation
Associated with cracking or fracture of the surrounding alveolar bone
Attempt repositioning of tooth
Apply temporary splinting with periodontal dressing
Follow up within 24hr for stabilization
Associated with cracking or fracture of the surrounding alveolar bone
(tooth is forced inward into the socket)
Most serious because of significant damage to alveolar socket and periodontal ligament
Allow tooth to erupt on its own
Dental subluxation
Dental fracture
Lens dislocation
Auricular hematoma
Dental avulsion
Bleeding dental socket
Carpal dislocations
Acute alveolar osteitis
