1. Classification of Injuries

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Enamel infraction: A crack in the enamel without loss of tooth substance; no visible fracture line or loss of structure.
  • Enamel fracture: Loss of tooth substance confined to the enamel, often appearing as a chip or break.
  • Enamel-dentine fracture: Fracture involving both enamel and dentine, but pulp remains unaffected.
  • Complicated crown fracture: Fracture of enamel and dentine with pulp exposure, requiring urgent treatment.
  • Root fracture: Fracture involving dentine, cementum, and pulp, classified by location: apical, middle, or coronal third.
  • Luxation injuries: Displacement of the tooth without fracture (concussion, subluxation) or with displacement (extrusive, lateral, intrusive luxation).
