| Description |
An injury to the tooth-supporting structures without increased mobility or displacement of the tooth, but with pain to percussion. |
| Visual signs |
Not displaced. |
| Percussion test |
Tender to touch or tapping. |
| Mobility test |
No increased mobility. |
| Pulp sensibility test |
Usually a positive result. The test is important in assessing future risk of healing complications. A lack of response to the test indicates an increased risk of later pulp necrosis. |
| Radiographic findings |
No radiographic abnormalities, the tooth is in-situ in its socket. |
| Radiographs recommended |
As a routine: Occlusal, periapical exposure and lateral view from mesial or distal aspect of the tooth in question. This should be done in order to exclude displacement. |
