Epidemiological study of traumatic dental injuries in 5- to 6-year-old Brazilian children

Abstract

Monitoring traumatic dental injury (TDI) in primary teeth through epidemiological cross-sectional surveys provides descriptive information relevant to the development of public policies focused on the prevention of such injuries for the target population. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of TDI in 5-to 6-year-old Brazilian children and its association with biological and socioeconomic factors. A total of 684 children aged 5 to 6 years old, from 11 public schools in the city of Barueri (Brazil) were evaluated. Clinical examinations were carried out in the schools, by two trained and calibrated examiners. Gauze and a mouth mirror were used for the examinations. The reported TDIs were classified according to the Andreasen (2007) criteria for primary teeth. The results showed that 52.3% of the children had TDI. Enamel fracture (63.4%) was the most frequently observed sign of TDI, and the most affected teeth were the primary maxillary central incisors (26.9% maxillary right central incisor and 24% maxillary left central incisor). There was no association between the presence of TDI and biological or socioeconomic factors. In conclusion, the prevalence of TDI was high and had no statistically significant association with biological and socioeconomic factors.

Traumatic Dental Injuries of Children in Aydın, Turkey: A Retrospective Study

“…It has been thought that boys had a more tendency towards contact sports and violent behaviors (13,14,20). In disagreement with other studies, we did not obtain remarkable differences between boys and girls (11,21,22). The reason of this situation may be explained by girls showing an increased participation in sports which decreases the gender disparities (20,23).…”

Injúrias dentárias em dentes decíduos: estudo longitudinal

“…Em conformidade com outros estudos a maxila foi o arco mais atingido por trauma na dentição decídua (KRAMER et al, 2003;ASSUNÇÃO et al, 2009;JESUS et al, 2010;COUTINHO;CAJAZEIRA, 2011;BÜCHER et al, 2013;VIEGAS et al, 2015;BERTI et al,2015;ELKARMI et al, 2015). Outro dado importante, diagnosticado na anamnese foi que 7,2% das crianças já tinham história prévia de trauma, o que segundo Malmgren et al (2012) seria a causa para perda precoce do dente decíduos.…”

“…(CARVALHO; JACOMO;CAMPOS, 2010;GOVINDARAJAN et al, 2012;BÜCHER et al,2013;COSTA et al, 2014;MENDONZA-MENDONZA et al, 2015;BERTI et al, 2015). Dados estatísticos demonstram que um terço das crianças pré-escolares já sofreram traumatismo dentário envolvendo a dentição decídua (ELKARMI et al, 2015), e quase um quarto de todas as crianças que estão na escola já sofreram algum tipo de acidente envolvendo a dentição permanente (TOPRAK et al, 2014).…”

“…Na literatura embora muitas pesquisas relatem experiências cientificas em vários países e estados brasileiros (KRAMER et al, 2003;ASSUNÇÃO et al, 2009;JESUS et al, 2010;COUTINHO;CAJAZEIRA, 2011;BÜCHER et al, 2013;VIEGAS et al, 2015;BERTI et al,2015;ELKARMI et al, 2015), não existem estudos conduzidos para determinar dados sobre traumatismos dentários na dentição decídua na região norte do Estado do Paraná (PR), Brasil. Diante do exposto, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi determinar a prevalência, conduta clínica, bem como avaliação de sequelas nos dentes decíduos envolvidos e sucessores permanentes, em crianças atendidas na Clínica Odontológica da…”
