“…The socioeconomic status of each child was determined through a multiple-item scoring index [40] developed from information about the mother’s level of education and the father’s occupation. The index had been used in prior studies in Nigeria [41, 42]. Each child’s social class was classified as class I (upper class), class II (upper middle class), class III (middle class), class IV (lower middle class), or class V (lower class).…”

BackgroundMultiple risk factors have been identified for traumatic dental injuries, including crown fractures, in various age groups and various populations. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence, risk factors and family related factors for crown trauma among 8 to 16 year-old children in a suburban population, Nigeria.MethodsThis is a secondary analysis of a data of 2107 children collected through a school-based survey. Study participants were 8 to 16 year-old resident in suburban Nigeria. The independent variables for the study were age, sex, socioeconomic status, and birth rank, family size and parenting status (one parent, step parent, both parents, and guardians). Details were collected using an interviewer administered questionnaire. Intraoral examination was conducted to identify presence of crown fracture. The independent variables associated with and predictors of crown trauma were determinedusing chi-square and logistic regression analysis respectively.ResultsOnly 167 (7.9 %) of the 2107 study participants had crown trauma. The teeth level prevalence of crown trauma was 0.33 %. Children with middle socioeconomic status had reduced odds of having crown trauma when compared with children with low socioeconomic status (AOR 0.50; CI 0.32–0.80). The odds of having crown traumawas more than doubled in males when compared with females (AOR 2.41; CI 1.72–3.39) and almost doubled in children living with single parents when compared with children living with both parents (AOR 1.94; CI 1.29–3.05).ConclusionsThe prevalence of crown traumawas low in this study population. Being a female and having lowsocioeconomic status significantly reduced the risk factors for crown traumawhile living with single parents increased risk for crown trauma.

“…Total score can range from 15 to 75 points, and the intensity of patient's fear is proportional to the number of points. Patients who have 45 or more points are considered to be highly anxious patients 16,17 . Data were analyzed used STATISTICA for Windows, Release 5.5 A* and SPSS for Windows, Release 7.5**.…”

SUMMARY -Tooth injuries are serious clinical conditions. Some children experience dental trauma only once, while others are more prone to repeated tooth injuries. Repeated dental trauma occurs in 19.4% to 30% of patients. Pain and dental trauma are the most common reasons for fear and anxiety. Th e main objective of this study was to investigate how dental trauma, as well as repeated dental trauma aff ects the occurrence and development of dental fear in children. Th e study was conducted on a random sample of 147 subjects (88 boys and 59 girls) aged 5-8 and 9-12 years. Subjects in both age groups were divided into subroups without dental trauma, with one dental trauma and with repeated dental trauma. Th e validated Children's Fear Survey Schedule -Dental Subscale was used on fear assessment. Results showed that only 12.2% of children without trauma, 33.3% with one trauma and 51.7% with repeated trauma were not afraid of injection. Older children had a significantly lower fear of injections, touch of an unknown person, choking, going to the hospital and people in white uniforms. Dentist was not the cause of fear in 65.5% of patients with repeated trauma. With each repeated injury of teeth, the degree of their fear of dental treatment was lower.

“…These studies show that oral health is also closely related to anxiety [18,33,34]. Folayan et al (2003) conducted a study with 81 children aged 8-13 years using the Child Fear Rating Scale-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS), found that very few of the children had high level of dental anxiety as in 14.8% (n = 18) [34]. A systematic review of dental fear / anxiety and behavior problems by children and adolescents conducted by Klinberg and Broberg (2007) using the PUBMED database between 1982 and 2006 showed that 9% of children in Australia, Canada, Europe and the United States had dental fear / anxiety and behavior problems, and this frequency was found to increase with age.…”
