“…Our results are in line with studies among adolescents in Canada 21 and 5-year-olds in Scotland 24 that also found no association between dental trauma and SEP. Similar results were also reported from several studies conducted in low-and middle-income countries such as South Africa 22 and Brazil 20,23,26,31,32 . All these studies used the same criteria for dental trauma as our analysis.…”

This study found no significant relationships between the experience of traumatic dental injuries and two markers of family socioeconomic position among children living in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. This implies that rather than specifically targeting the more deprived sectors of society, TDI prevention policies should use upstream public health strategies incorporating a whole-population approach.

“…Brazil) reported that TDI was associated with low SEP [14][15][16][17][18][19] . Finally, some studies found no association between TDI and SEP in either high-, middle-or low-income countries [20][21][22][23][24][25][26] . Very few studies have investigated potential social gradients in TDI; however, the results were conflicting 12,27 .…”

“…Soccer‐related injuries to the head, face and neck areas represent about 3%‐10% of all soccer‐related injuries . Recent studies estimate that the frequency of soccer‐related oro‐dental injuries among amateur and professional adolescent and adult players was 0.1%‐32% . Still, prevalence studies of soccer‐related TDIs among young amateur players are scarce.…”

Background/Aims Traumatic dental injuries (TDI) are prevalent among soccer players. In Kuwait, no studies of TDI among soccer players have been carried out. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence, type and causes of soccer‐related traumatic dental injuries among 7‐18‐year‐old amateur soccer players. Methods All amateur soccer players who were registered in the 14 sports clubs in the country were invited to participate in this screening study. Players who were present in the club on the assigned examination day were included. The players were examined by two trained and calibrated paediatric dentists for signs of injury to the oral tissues. Injury diagnosis was made according to the Andreasen (2007) epidemiological dental injury classification. The history of any dental injury present at the time of examination was recorded. The timing and nature of any dental advice or treatment sought was also noted. Results Six hundred sixty‐seven (48% inclusion rate) male players were included (mean age of 13.4 ± 2.6 years). In total, 213 injured teeth were observed among 169 (25%) players. The prevalence of soccer‐related injuries was 11%, and a greater number of injuries were observed in older players. Maxillary central incisors were the most frequently injured teeth (91%), and enamel‐only fractures represented 60% of all injured teeth. Slightly more TDIs were soccer‐related (44%) compared to non‐soccer‐related injuries (39%), and a large number of TDIs (39%) occurred inside the sports clubs. The prevalence of reported soft‐tissue injuries was 18%. The majority of the players (75%) did not receive dental care for their injuries. Conclusions A significant number of young Kuwaiti amateur soccer players suffered TDIs. In addition, a high percentage of traumatic injuries were not treated, and there was a lack of the use of protective mouthguards.

“…The World Health Organization used the motto “Move for Health” in 2002, to emphasize the role of physical activity in the health of mankind . With contact sports in vogue, traumatic dental injuries (TDI) have received epidemiological expression as an emerging public health challenge . TDI can present with disturbing sequelae such as fractured, displaced, or lost teeth.…”
