“…Fractures involving only enamel, and also enamel and dentine, were the most frequent types of traumatic injuries observed in the study sample, corroborating the findings of previous studies (4, 6, 17, 20, 34, 40–46). Upper central incisors were the teeth most involved in dental trauma, as in previous studies (9, 11, 12, 47, 48).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors associated with the occurrence of dental trauma in permanent anterior teeth of schoolchildren in Recife, Brazil. It included a random sample of 1046 boys and girls aged 12 attending both public and private schools. The sample size was calculated using a 95% confidence interval level; a statistical significance of 5% (alpha); a sample power of 80%; and an odds ratio of 1.55. The sample selection was carried out in two stages: first, schools were selected by simple sampling, and then children were chosen using a proportionality coefficient. Data were collected through clinical examinations and interviews, after examiner calibration. Dental trauma was classified according to Andreasen criteria. Overjet was considered a risk factor when it presented values higher than 5 mm. Lip coverage was classified as adequate or inadequate, while obesity was considered according to National Center for Health Statistics procedures for the assessment of nutritional status. Data were summarized and analyzed using the statistical software SPSS. The prevalence of dental injuries was 10.5%. Boys experienced more injuries than girls, 12.2% and 8.8%, respectively (P > 0.05). Children attending public schools presented more traumatic injuries than those from private schools, 11.4% and 9.5%, respectively, but there was no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between traumatic dental injuries and overjet (P < 0.05); between traumatic dental injuries and inadequate lip coverage (P = 0.000), and between obesity and dental trauma (P < 0.05). It was concluded that boys attending public schools and presenting an overjet size >5 mm, inadequate lip coverage, and obesity were more likely to have traumatic dental injuries in Recife, Brazil.

Aims To determine the occurrence, causes, types and severity of oral trauma and the time elapsed until seeking dental care in children seen in a hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods Data included all cases of oro-facial trauma for children aged 17 years and younger who presented at the emergency and dental departments of the hospital during a 12-month period. Results A number of 112 patients with traumatic oral injuries visited the hospital during this period. 79 were males and 33 were females. The highest frequency of injury was seen in 9-11 year old children. The most common cause of trauma was due to falls (68%). Most of the dental injuries occurred in the street (57%). The most common types of injury were luxation injuries and complicated crown fractures. Maxillary teeth were more affected than mandibular teeth. Maxillary central incisors were found to be the most affected teeth. 51 patients had soft tissue injuries and 13 patients had facial bone fractures. The largest number of injuries presented on the same day for treatment (70%) or 1 day after (36%). Conclusion From the data this study population showed trends and comman cases of paediatric traumatic oral injuries senn in a major hospital in saudi Arabia.The study helpred us in improving awarness regarding the oral injuries and importance of minimizing its complication through educational programs

“…In the present study, most affected age group was 9–11‐year‐old group and this was in agreement with some studies (29, 31, 34, 35), but in disagreement with the findings of others (2, 3), which have reported the peak age as 8 years.…”

“…The most frequent injuries were Ellis class II crown fractures, which are in agreement with some of the previous studies (3, 10, 14, 31). However, there are studies showing that Ellis class I crown fracture is the most common type of injury in permanent dentition (13, 23, 34). Variation in sampling and diagnostic criteria between different studies may explain differences in findings.…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence, etiologic factors and results of dental trauma and the effects of age and gender on the trauma in permanent incisors. Over a 3-year period, 514 permanent incisor teeth in 317 patients with trauma history, who applied to Suleyman Demirel University School of Dentistry, Department of Pedodontics from the southern cities of Turkey, were evaluated. Standardized trauma forms were filled for each patient. In all age groups, the most frequent cause of trauma was found to be unspecified falls (47.6%). Maxillary teeth (88.5%) and central incisors (87.5%) were the most affected teeth from dental trauma. Ellis class II crown fracture was the most frequently seen type of injury (43.8%). The percent of the patients who applied to a dental clinic in the first 3 days after the trauma occurred (22.8%) was less than the percent of the patients who applied after 3 months and more time period (45.1%). It reveals that it is important to inform the public about dental trauma and the importance of time in these cases.
