Which dental trauma has the WORST prognosis?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Intrusion
- A. Correct. Intrusive luxation (tooth driven into bone) most severely damages the pulp and PDL → highest risk of necrosis, ankylosis and resorption.
- B. Extrusion has a better prognosis than intrusion.
- C. Subluxation (loosening without displacement) generally heals well.
- D. Concussion (no displacement/mobility) has the best prognosis.
