A young patient with a recent dental accident — what does the radiograph show?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Intrusion
The radiograph (and its original figure caption, describing the position of an 'intruded' tooth) shows a primary maxillary central incisor displaced apically into the alveolar bone — the definition of intrusive luxation (intrusion), as opposed to extrusion (displaced outward/coronally) or lateral luxation (displaced sideways).
