Luxation of a tooth is the displacement of a tooth relative to the dentition (can be either upper or lower).
Reasons: - Increased wear of tooth enamel is a natural process of tooth aging, caused by the natural friction of the toothbrush on the teeth. It begins already in the first years of life, and its peak occurs at 20–30 years. The exact mechanism of increased chipping due to increased abrasion of the enamel can only be established after additional laboratory testing.
Consequences of tooth luxation: - The absence of a tooth can cause the surrounding teeth to gradually shift. In this case, neighboring teeth may take the place of the missing tooth or even be located at an angle. The absence of a healthy part of the tooth also leads to the fact that neighboring teeth move under it over time. - After a certain period, the teeth, moving relative to each other, collide, which can result in a fracture
