“…Falling and collision were the most reasons for traumatic injuries, this was logic as blind children are more liable to fall and crash against different objects than being involved in violent activities. These results were in agreement with the results of Agrawal et al (22) Munot et al (24) .…”

“…Most of TDIs affect the central incisors .There were significant correlations between increased overjet and/or inadequate lip coverage and prevalence of TDIs. This is in agreement of all the studies which correlate the prevalence of TDIs and the degree of overjet and lip coverage (1,14,16,(22)(23)(24)(25) .…”

“…39%) were found to be the second most common cause for early tooth loss in patients who were 16-18 years old and 13 to 15 yr old as per the results of the study. Harsha et al's study has shown the similar results that 39% of the children suffered from traumatic dental injuries (Munot et al, 2017). Next reason being congenital missing teeth ,the study done by Masamichi Ide et al(Ide et al, 2011) observed that 11.7% of the children had congenitally missing teeth,similar results were obtained in our study.In our study, among 16 to 18 yr old ,molars (31.50%) accounted for the most commonly lost permanent teeth, Alshamrani et al study too stated that 21.3% had early loss of permanent molars(Alshamrani et al, no date).…”

Tooth loss can rob people of much more than the ability to chew and properly digest food. It has serious social, psychological and emotional consequences, impacting quality of life, self image and self esteem.The aim of this study is to investigate early loss of permanent teeth and its causative factors below 18 yrs old children. A retrospective study was conducted using the patient records of children visiting Saveetha dental college.The children between 6-18 years with early permanent tooth loss were selected for this study.Data including age,tooth loss and its reason was collected.The data collected were entered into SPSS version 20.0 and subjected to statistical analysis.Level of significance was set at 5% (p<0.05). Descriptive statistics and chi square test were applied .The results showed overall prevalence of permanent tooth loss,15.09%, dental caries was the main causative factor (31.85%) in 16-18 year old children showing statistical significant difference (p<0.05) and about 56.8% male predominance.It can be concluded that dental caries remains a real public health problem in developing countries. Decision makers need to focus on strategies on prevention of dental caries.

Background/AimIndividuals with special healthcare needs (SHCN) are more likely to sustain traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) due to distinct risk factors. The aim of this review was to assess various risk factors associated with TDIs in individuals with SHCN.Materials and MethodsThe protocol was designed according to the recommendations of the Cochrane‐handbook, Joanna Briggs Institute, and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022357422). A comprehensive search was performed in PubMed, LILACS, Web of Science, EMBASE and Scopus using a pre‐defined strategy without any limitation of language and year of publication. It was last updated on 25 April 2023. Studies addressing the TDIs in individuals with SHCN were included. Data extraction and analyses were performed, risk of bias (ROB) assessment was done using the Joanna Briggs Institute's critical appraisal tool, and a meta‐analysis was performed using random‐effects model.ResultsA total of 21 studies were included in the review. They were categorized according to the target disease/condition: cerebral palsy (n = 5), ADHD and autism spectrum disorders (n = 5), visually impaired (n = 4), and multiple disorders (n = 7). The studies showed variability in the design and methods; however, 17 out of 21 studies showed moderate to low ROB. Increased overjet and lip incompetence were the main risk factors reported in the studies. The commonest injuries were observed to be enamel and enamel and dentine fractures.ConclusionThe overall pooled prevalence of TDI in individuals with special healthcare needs was 23.16% with 20.98% in males and 27.06% in females. Overjet >3 mm and inadequate lip coverage were found to be associated with a higher risk of TDI in all the categories of individuals with special healthcare needs except ADHD and ASD. Falls at home in cerebral palsy, falls while walking and self‐harm in ADHD and ASD, falls at home and collision in visual impairment, and unspecified falls in multiple disorders could be identified as the most common cause of TDI.
