Abstract
Dental photographs are a valid means for documentation of dental luxation injuries. The aim of the study was to evaluate the utility of two photographs from different perspectives in the assessment of dental luxation injuries compared to one perspective only. Photographs of simulated dental luxation injuries were shown to experts in dental traumatology and other dentists who had to estimate the displacement in the vertical and horizontal dimensions. The overall error of estimation as a result of both vertical displacement and horizontal displacement was calculated and statistically analyzed. The mean overall error of estimation was 0.43mm and 0.75mm for experts and dentists, respectively. If two (frontal and occlusal) perspectives were available, the overall error was lower than when only one perspective was available (p<.001). Experts had a lower overall error compared to dentists (p<.015). Two photographs from two perspectives allowed better interpretation of dental luxation injuries.
