What describes an Ellis class IV fracture?

Enamel fracture
Enamel-dentin fracture
Enamel-dentin-pulp fracture
Traumatized tooth that has become non-vital

The correct answer is: Traumatized tooth that has become non-vital

A traumatic dental injury can result in a variety of fractures, with some being more severe than others. An Ellis class IV fracture is the most severe type of dental trauma, as the injury not only affects the enamel, dentin, and pulp, but also leads to the death of the tooth. Options A-C are incorrect as they do not fully describe the severity of the fracture and do not mention the loss of vitality in the tooth. Additionally, options A-C only refer to the physical components of the tooth, while option D provides a more accurate description of the overall damage and impact on the tooth.
