For how long may false negatives to vitality testing be present following trauma?

  1. 1-4 weeks

  2. 2-8 weeks

  3. 3-6 weeks

  4. 4-10 weeks

The correct answer is: 2-8 weeks

False negatives to vitality testing can be present following trauma for 2-8 weeks due to inflammation and tissue damage. This can lead to an inaccurate result, as the damaged tissue may not respond to the test. However, after this time period, the damaged tissue may start to heal and show a more accurate response. This is why options A, C, and D (1-4 weeks, 3-6 weeks, 4-10 weeks) are not correct, as the time frame is either too short or too long to accurately indicate the presence of false negatives.
