Treatment for subluxation and concussion of primary tooth includes:

Pulpotomy
No treatment, soft diet, reinforce OHI
Extraction
Reposition and splint

The correct answer is: No treatment, soft diet, reinforce OHI

Option A A pulpotomy is a dental procedure that removes the top part of a tooth called the pulp. This option is incorrect because it is a more invasive procedure and not necessary for the treatment of subluxation and concussion of primary tooth. Option C: Extraction is the removal of a tooth. This option is incorrect because it is often reserved as a last resort for severe cases and is not the first line of treatment for subluxation and concussion of primary tooth. Option D: Reposition and splint is a treatment used for luxation injuries, where the tooth is completely displaced from its socket. This option is incorrect because subluxation and concussion involve partial dislocation and do not require repositioning or splinting. The correct treatment for subluxation and concussion of primary tooth is to monitor the tooth, avoid hard foods, and practice good oral hygiene (Option B). This allows the tooth to heal on its own and prevents further damage. Extraction or more invasive procedures are not necessary in most cases.
