“…Our results also confi rmed the fi ndings of other studies 43,44 that the majority of aff ected patients were treated more than 24 hours after accidents. However, the results on the time elapsed between sustaining the injury and receiving dental treatment for primary teeth were higher than in other studies due to incorrect routines by general practitioners in Zagreb.…”

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.

“…Regarding the etiology and site of occurrence, falls and home were the most cited (81.3% and 77.5%, respectively), which is consistent with the literature (3,5,8). A possible explanation is the fact that children in the evaluated age group spend most of their time at home.…”

“…This event is usually sudden, unexpected and accidental and often requires dental care (8). In general, laypersons are unaware of the risks of trauma and possible harm to the primary and permanent dentition or what can be done to avoid such situations (7).…”

Predisposing Factors for Traumatic Dental Injury in Primary Teeth and Seeking of Post-trauma Care

et al. 2013

The aim of the present study was to investigate predisposing factors for traumatic dental injury (TDI) in the primary dentition and seeking of dental care after the occurrence of TDI. A randomized population-based cross-sectional study was carried out with 814 children aged 3 to 5 years enrolled at public and private preschools in the city of Campina Grande, PB, Brazil. Parents were asked to fill out a questionnaire on demographic data and the child's history of TDI. TDI was evaluated by clinical examinations performed by three previously calibrated dentists (Kappa: 0.85 to 0.90). Bivariate and multivariate Poisson regression models were constructed for TDI and the parent-reported search for dental care (α=0.05). The prevalence of TDI was 34.6%. The most common type of TDI was enamel fracture (55.0%). The central incisors were the most frequently affected teeth (87.5%). Predictors for TDI in the primary dentition were household income >U$312.50 (PR: 1.355; 95% CI: 1.050-1.724) and overjet >2 mm (PR: 1.539; 95% CI: 1.219-1.942). The predictor for seeking dental care following TDI was parent's age >30 years (PR: 1.753; 95% CI: 1.039-2.960). Household income and overjet were associated with TDI. Among children having suffered TDI, parent's age is a crucial determinant for seeking dental care.

“…Similar to our findings, many studies showed that males are more prone than females to dento-alveolar trauma (10,11). However, we found no statistically significant difference in soft tissue injuries according to gender in common with other studies (12)(13)(14)(15).…”

“…As reported in the literature, the high incidence of such injuries may be due to the protrusive structure of the maxilla (4,11,13,21,23). In the present study, soft tissue injuries were most frequently found in the maxilla as previous studies.…”

Anah tarKe li me ler Öz AbstractObjective: Treatment failures in soft tissue injuries may result in economic, psychological, and esthetic problems. The aim of this study was to investigate the presentation of soft tissue injuries in dento-alveolar traumas. MaterialandMethods:The data were obtained from 268 children aged 1-15 years who were referred to a pedodontics clinic within one week of experiencing dental trauma during 2010-2015. The criteria used to categorize the data obtained from the dental trauma records were gender, age, localization (lips, gingiva, cheeks, tongue, and perioral tissues), wound type (abrasion, laceration, contusion, and mixed), time elapsed to treatment of the injury, and classification of the dentoalveolar trauma. Results: Soft tissue trauma was noted in 90 (33.6%) children. There was no statistically significant difference between the patients according to gender, age, and the time elapsed between the injury and treatment. With regard to the type of soft tissue trauma, 18.9% were contusions, 7.8% were abrasions, 43.3% were lacerations, and 30% were mixed injuries. Soft tissue injuries were frequently (64.4%) accompanied by periodontal injuries. Conclusion: Soft tissue injuries are occasionally seen in dento-alveolar traumas. Within the limits of this study, the type, localization, and classification of the trauma were more important factors than gender in soft tissue injuries.Amaç: Yumuşak dolu yaralanmalarında görülen tedavi başarısızlıkları ekonomik, psikolojik ve estetik problemlerle sonuçlanabilmektedir. Biz bu çalışmayla diş-alveol travmalarında görülen yumuşak doku yaralanmalarını incelemeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler:Veriler 2010-2015 yılları arasında diş travmasından dolayı 1 hafta içerisinde pedodonti kliniğine başvuran 1-15 yaş arasındaki 268 çocuk hastadan elde edildi. Diş travmasından elde edilen veriler cinsiyet, yaş, lokalizasyon (dudak, diş eti, yanak, dil ve periodontal dokular), yaralanma tipi (abrazyon, laserasyon, kontüzyon ve karışık), yaralanma ve tedavi arasında geçen zaman ve diş travma sınıflaması kriterleri kullanılarak kategorize edildi. Bulgular: Tüm hastalardan 90 (%33,6) hastada yumuşak doku yaralanması görüldü. Hastalarda yaş, cinsiyet, yaralanma ve tedavi arasında geçen zaman açısından istatistiksel olarak bir farklılık gözlenmedi. Yumuşak yaralanma tipine bakıldığında
