“…The findings of this survey revealed that fall was the most frequent etiologic factor, corresponding to almost forty-one percent of all cases of dentoalveolar trauma, which agrees with the outcomes of previous studies 8,15,[20][21][22][23] . Few cases of dentoalveolar traumatic injuries were attributed to sports accidents (3.4%), which is consistent with the results of other authors 20,24 .…”

Rezende FM do C, Gaujac C, Rocha AC, Peres MPS de M. A prospective study of dentoalveolar trauma at the Hospital das Clínicas, São Paulo University Medical School. Clinics. 2007;62(2):133-8. PURPOSE:This prospective study evaluated the profile of patients with dentoalveolar trauma assisted at the emergency room of the Oral and Maxillofacial Trauma and Surgery Service at the Hospital das Clínicas, São Paulo University Medical School (Brazil). METHODS: A prospective study by a questionnaire applied during the first attendance of those patients, in a period of eight months. RESULTS:The collected data were statistically analyzed. It was observed that 4.7% of the patients that sought treatment at the Service had sustained dentoalveolar trauma and among these 74% were male. The most affected individuals were children aged 0 to 5 years and fall was the most prevalent etiologic factor. Avulsion and coronal/crown-root fractures were the most common types of dentoalveolar traumatic injures. As the age increases, the most common etiologic factors are traffic accidents and physical assault. CONCLUSION: The incidence of dentoalveolar trauma decreased with age and the main etiologic factors in adult patients were traffic accidents and physical assault.

“…Consistent with the results of other studies, the most frequent cause of trauma was fall in both genders and in both primary and permanent teeth 17,20,30,38 . Regarding the location of TDIs, this study found that most injuries occurred at home in children aged 1-6 and at school in children aged 7-12, which is similar to previous studies 18,25,39 . Th e group of children aged 13-16 sustained TDIs during their free time, in contrast to similar studies 18 .…”

SUMMARY -Th e prevalence, type and etiology of dental and soft tissue injuries and relationship between the time of arrival and sustaining soft tissue injury were analyzed in this retrospective study conducted at the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, University Dental Clinic in Zagreb, Croatia, during the 2010-2014 period using documentation on 447 patients (264 male and 183 female) aged 1-16 years with injuries of primary and permanent teeth. Th e highest prevalence of traumatic dental injury (TDI) was found in the 7-12 age group and maxillary central incisors were most frequently aff ected (80.9%) in both primary and permanent dentitions. Enamel-dentin fracture without pulp exposure (31.9%) was the most common TDI of dental hard tissue in both dentitions, whereas subluxation (27.3%) was the most common periodontal tissue injury type. Th e most frequent location, cause and seasonal variation of trauma were at home, falling and spring. Soft tissue injuries were observed in 203 (45.4%) patients. Soft tissue injuries were less likely when fewer teeth were traumatized (p<0.001). Comparison of children with and without soft tissue injuries yielded a statistically signifi cant diff erence in the time to arrival between primary and permanent teeth (p<0.01). Because soft tissue injuries include bleeding and clinical presentation appears more dramatic, the time elapsed between injury and initial treatment was shorter than in non-bleeding injuries, pointing to the need of education focused on parents and school teachers regarding the importance of immediate therapy for both bleeding and non-bleeding TDIs.

“…In the UK adolescent population, over a third of injuries occur at home and a further 25% at school. 10 Several other studies have reported similar levels of injury at school and home. 11 Dental trauma can vary from simple concussions to extensive maxillofacial damage involving periodontal structures and displacements or avulsion of teeth.…”

Objective To investigate awareness and practices of dental trauma fi rst aid (DTFA) in hospital emergency settings and in primary and secondary schools in London. Design A cross-sectional study using self-administered questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Setting Primary and secondary schools and casualty/emergency and walk-in casualty centres in London in 2005. Subjects and methods A randomly selected sample of 125 schools and a total of 31 walk-in casualty centres, providing services for fi ve randomly selected London boroughs. A person responsible for emergency care of children represented each of these study sites. Results Response rates of 81.6% and 87% were achieved for schools and casualty/emergency centres respectively. The school respondents who had previously received advice on DTFA were three times more likely to be willing to replant an avulsed tooth compared to those who had not. A third of casualty personnel showed gaps in knowledge in DTFA. Results from schools showed an unwillingness to start emergency action mainly due to perceived inadequacy in knowledge/skills and also for legal reasons. Conclusion There is the need for further studies focused on the barriers resulting in unwillingness to provide DTFA among school personnel and clarifi cation regarding issues of responsibility and acceptable levels of competence of professionals other than dentists.
