The American Association of Endodontists (AAE) has set forth treatment recommendations for managing dental injuries involving tooth fractures and luxation in permanent dentition. Key considerations include root maturity, severity of intrusion, and the risk of pulp necrosis. Non-fixed protocols promote personalized treatment plans based on a patient's health and preferences. Specific intervention details are provided for various injuries, including avulsed teeth, highlighting important follow-up and healing monitoring guidelines. The guidelines aim to assist clinicians in optimizing patient care.
