ABSTRACT

Introduction: Lateral dislocation is a common type of traumatic dental injury. There may be an associated fracture of the bone table. This injury is common among children and can result in pulp canal obliteration or pulp necrosis. Treatment generally consists of repositioning the tooth and applying retention. Case report: The first clinical case involved a patient who consulted us following an oral trauma. The clinical examination revealed a lateral dislocation of 1 mm of the 11 and 21. A reduction and a contention were done the day of the consultation; the removal of the contention was done 15 days later with regular follow-up. The second clinical case involved a patient who consulted us following an oral trauma. The clinical examination revealed a lateral dislocation of 6 mm for 11 and 12 with an associated alveolar fracture. A reduction and support were performed on the day of the consultation. The support was removed one month later. Follow-up examinations were carried out at 3, 6 and 9 months, and endodontic treatment was performed on 11 and 12 following the onset of root canal obliteration. Results: Various factors can affect the outcome of lateral dislocation. The aim of this article was to highlight the different factors that affect the outcome of treatment of immature teeth and the prognosis. Conclusion: When an anterior tooth suffers a lateral luxation, it's considered a significant dental injury demanding careful evaluation before any treatment begins. To ensure the best possible outcome, a number of factors that can influence treatment decisions need to be carefully assessed.
