Abstract
In children, traumatic dental injuries from a fall are more likely to result in a tooth being displaced than fractured, because the supporting bone is less dense than in the permanent dentition. The direction of the displacement and severity of the injury will influence the risk of injury to the developing permanent teeth. This manuscript will discuss each type of primary tooth luxation injury, how they should be managed, the prognosis and sequelae that are likely and what behavior guidance techniques may need to be used to provide safe treatment.
