“…A lack of motor coordination 25,26 on walking and running is the main reason for TDI in preschool children, whereas in early school-age children, TDIs are most likely due to increased independence at school, playgrounds and sports 4,27,28 . In agreement with previous studies [18][19][20]29,30 , this study showed that TDI commonly involved maxillary incisors. Th is fi nding may be explained by the fact that these teeth may have inadequate lip coverage and frequently protrude 30 .…”

“…Th is fi nding can be explained by the periodontal ligament elasticity and alveolar bone resilience 26,30 . In permanent teeth, enamel-dentin fractures without pulp exposure were the most frequent type of injury, which is similar to other studies 12,15,[18][19][20]33 , but contrary to a group of studies that found enamel fracture to be the most frequent type of hard dental tissue injury [34][35][36][37] . In this study, there was a statistically signifi cant relationship between age, gender, location, and cause of injury (p<0.05).…”

“…Although Glendor 11 states that there is a trend toward reduced gender diff erences in the distribution of trauma, as confi rmed by other studies 16,17 , our study belongs to the group of studies [18][19][20] demonstrating that gender diff erences persist in favor of males (1.5:1). However, in this study, preschool girls showed higher rates of TDI than boys, which is in agreement with Carvalho et al 21 .…”

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.

“…Swelling (5, 7) and coronary chipping (6, 8–11) were reported to be the most frequent traumas affecting the deciduous dentition. Several studies reported the highest prevalence of dental trauma in 3‐ to 5‐year‐old children (8–10, 12).…”

The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of dental trauma as compared to the prevalence of dental caries in children aged 3-59 months. A cross-sectional study was carried out during the National Immunization Day for Polio in Recife, northeast Brazil. The sample comprised 3489 children under the age of 5. The clinical examination was performed by 123 previously trained dental students. The inter-examiner agreement for crown fracture was 90.32% and for tooth discoloration it was 83.87%. The prevalence of dental caries was assessed using the dmf-t index. The statistical methods included descriptive analysis and the chi-square test with a margin of error of 5%. A total of 56 142 teeth were examined and the prevalence of dental trauma was 14.9%. Dental fracture was the most prevalent injury observed in 516 teeth (0.9%), followed by discoloration in 191 (0.9%), intrusion in 12 (0.02%) and extrusion in five (0.008%). The most affected teeth were the upper central incisors. The prevalence of dental trauma increased significantly with age and family income (P < 0.0001). Dental trauma was most prevalent from 2 to 5 years of age. The prevalence of dental caries was 14.3%. This prevalence increased significantly with age (P < 0.0001) and with the reduction in family income (P < 0.0001). The results showed that the prevalence of dental caries and dental trauma was similar, and that both caused the same amount of damage to dental health for the target population.

Epidemiology of traumatised primary teeth in the west-Mediterranean region of Turkey

Abstract: The results of this study suggest that a preventive educational programme should be instituted, directed at parents and teachers at nursery schools, in order to inform them about what to do in dental trauma cases and the importance of immediate attendance for dental care.
