Periodontal healing complications following extrusive and lateral luxation in the permanent dentition: A longitudinal cohort study

摘要

Purpose: To analyze the risk of tooth loss and complications in periodontal ligament (PDL) healing following extrusive and lateral luxation in the permanent dentition. Materials and methods: Eighty-two permanent teeth (78 patients) with extrusive luxation and 179 teeth (149 patients) with lateral luxation were included in the study. All teeth were examined according to a standardized protocol including clinical, photographic, and radiographic registration. Follow-up controls were performed at regular intervals (3, 6 weeks, 6 months, 1, 5, and 10 years). Statistics: The risk of repair-related resorption (surface resorption), infection-related resorption (inflammatory resorption), ankylosis-related resorption (replacement resorption), marginal bone loss, and tooth loss was analyzed with the Kaplan-Meier method. Differences among subgroups were analyzed with log-rank test and Cox regression. Results: The risk of periodontal healing complications was estimated after 3 years. Extrusive luxation: For immature root development, infection-related resorption was 2.4% (95% confidence interval (CI): 0-6.9%). For mature root development, repair-related resorption was 15.6% (95% CI: 4.4-26.7%), infection-related resorption was 5.1% (95% CI: 0-11.7%), and marginal bone loss was 17.5% (95% CI: 6.2-28.8%). No teeth showed ankylosis-related resorption, and no teeth were lost in the observation period. Lateral luxation: For immature root development, repair-related resorption was 2.1% (95% CI: 0-6.1%), infection-related resorption was 2.1% (95% CI: 0-6.1%). For mature root development, repair-related resorption was 29.5% (95% CI: 20.5-38.5%), infection-related resorption was 2.6% (95% CI: 0-6.4%), ankylosis-related resorption was 0.8% (95% CI: 0-2.3%), marginal bone loss was 6.9% (95% CI: 2.2-11.6%). Conclusion: The risk of severe periodontal healing complications in teeth with extrusive and lateral luxation injuries is generally low. Marginal bone loss and repair-related resorption occurred significantly more often in teeth with mature rather than immature root development. Marginal bone loss was associated with injuries involving multiple teeth.
