A Narrative Review on the Management of Luxation Injuries

Abstract

Luxation injuries, a significant subset of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs), frequently affect children and young adults, resulting in complex damage to both the periodontium and dental hard tissues. This narrative review provides a comprehensive overview of the major types of luxation injuries, highlighting their clinical characteristics, diagnostic criteria, management protocols, and long-term prognosis. Each injury type exhibits distinct pathophysiological features that necessitate tailored clinical responses. The review integrates evidence from current literature, clinical guidelines, and case studies, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis, appropriate treatment strategies, and regular follow-up to minimize complications such as pulp necrosis, root resorption, and pulp canal obliteration. By consolidating contemporary knowledge and practices, this review aims to support clinicians in enhancing treatment outcomes and informing future research directions in dental trauma care.
