“…The maxilla had the most injured teeth (103, 71%) and maxillary central incisors (50, 34.5%) were the most affected. Many other studies have shown similar findings 1,2,7–9,12,19,23 . This also corresponds with the studies that have analyzed dental trauma only, without the association with facial fractures, where the maxillary anterior segment is the most affected 1,24 .…”

Objective This study sought to assess dental students’ training and experiences in addressing traumatic dental injury (TDI), and, more specifically, their knowledge of TDI management in children. Methods All Year 1 to Year 5 dental students (n = 413; response rate = 72.9%) were invited to participate in an online, self‐administered survey, which was based on a validated questionnaire. Quantitative data were analysed via chi‐squared test (p < .05) using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software program. Results Only a few students were found to have undergone first‐aid training in TDI (19.3%) and to have encountered TDI incidents (10.6%) before. Almost all preclinical and clinical students agreed that TDI constitutes an emergency (97.8% vs. 99.4%, respectively) and that tooth avulsion requires immediate care (97.1% vs. 99.0%, respectively). However, almost half of the students (48.8%) did not know the management protocols for a fractured tooth. Compared with clinical students, a significantly lower percentage of those in preclinical study knew the following: (1) the main cause of TDI, (2) the teeth that most commonly experience avulsion, (3) the management protocols for an avulsed tooth (e.g., handling, transportation and urgency of professional intervention) and (4) the management protocols for a fractured tooth (e.g., appropriate storage medium and need for immediate treatment). Amongst the clinical students, a significantly lower percentage of those in Year 3 knew how to transport and store avulsed and fractured teeth, and which teeth are most likely to experience avulsion. Conclusion This study identified areas of TDI education in need of further refinement. Revision of the dental curriculum in terms of design, content, teaching method and delivery time may thus be warranted.

“…The occurrence of traumatic dental injuries (DIs) in patients with facial fractures varies between 13.1 and 22.5% [1][2][3]. The presence of DIs is especially high in paediatric patients with facial fractures [1,[3][4][5] and occurs in 23% [1] to 31% [4] of patients. DIs are particularly associated with mandibular fractures (39%) [5], with a corresponding rate of 29% in the paediatric population [1].…”

“…More than half of reported DIs in patients with facial fractures are crown or root fractures [ 4 , 5 ]. In addition, avulsions and luxations are fairly frequent [ 2 , 5 ].…”

Purpose Dental injuries (DIs) are associated with facial fractures, particularly mandibular fractures. As paediatric mandibular fractures have special features, we sought to clarify the occurrence and types of DIs among this patient group. We assessed how age, injury type, and fracture location affects the occurrence of DIs and thereby defined which patients are most susceptible. Methods This retrospective study included patients < 18 years with a recent mandibular fracture. Predictor variables were gender, age group, mechanism of injury, type of mandibular fracture, and other associated facial fracture(s). Types and locations of DIs and tooth loss due to injury were also reported. Results DIs were detected in 34.7% (n = 41) out of 118 patients. Patients with tooth injury had on average 3.5 injured teeth. A total of 16.2% of injured teeth were lost, typically at the time of the injury. Loss of at least one tooth was seen in approximately 10% of patients. Avulsion was the most common cause of tooth loss (52.2%). Non-complicated crown fracture (50.7%) was the most common DI type. Statistically significant associations between studied variables and DIs were not detected. Conclusion DIs are common and often multiple in paediatric mandibular fracture patients regardless of background factors. DIs often lead to tooth loss. Prompt replantation of an avulsed tooth, early detection of DIs, and prevention of tooth loss whenever possible are important to avoid permanent tooth defects.
