Abstract

Abstract: Extrusion of intruded maxillary incisors present the clinician with a great challenge, particularly in the mixed dentition. Several methods have been suggested to treat an intruded maxillary incisor, but currently there is no definitive guideline on which method is most successful. The treatment mode selected should be based on the individual clinical situation and the best evidence available. The aim of this paper is to provide a guide for the orthodontic extrusion of maxillary incisors following intrusive luxation in the mixed dentition. Consideration will be given to the immediate and long term treatment options for these patients. Success rates and possible complications will also be outlined. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The purpose of this article is to provide general dental practitioners with information in relation to the management of intrusive luxations of permanent incisors.
