Angle Orthod. 1987 Jul;57(3):234-44. doi: 10.1043/0003-3219(1987)057<0234:TIT>2.0.CO;2.

Abstract

Various combinations of orthodontic force, luxation, and observation are applied to 12 teeth traumatically intruded in 3 large dogs. All showed root resorption to some degree. Early orthodontic repositioning, with luxation if immobile, produced the best recovery.
