“…Studies assessing prevalence of TDI among visually impaired children also have found wide variation ranging from 9% to 32.5% [5,6,8,9]. However prevalence of TDI in our study is consistent with Bhat et al (32.5%) [6] & Agarwal et al (34.95%) [8].…”

“…In the present study majority of children (88.8%) were totally blind while a study in blind school from Rajasthan showed only 26.2% were totally blind in their study [8]. The same study also found occurrence of teeth fracture in 58.33% of partially blind but the present study showed only 22.2% of partially blind children sustaining fracture.…”

“…However AK Murthy et al [5] have found no gender predisposition for TDI among visually impaired & interestingly female predominance was found by Agarwal et al [8]. This male predisposition pattern can be explained by the fact that boys engage more in leisurely physical activities, aggressive sports & also greater risk taking behavior than girls.…”

-Background/Aim: The association between large overjet and traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) to anterior teeth is documented. However, observational studies are discrepant and generalizability (i.e. external validity) of meta-analyses is limited. Therefore, this meta-analysis sought to reconcile such discrepancies seeking to provide reliable risk estimates which could be generalizable at global level. Material and Methods: Literature search (years 1990-2014) was performed (Scopus, GOOGLE Scholar, Medline). Selected primary studies were divided into subsets: 'primary teeth, overjet threshold 3-4 mm' (Primary3); 'permanent teeth, overjet threshold 3-4 mm' (Permanent3); 'permanent teeth, overjet threshold 6 AE 1 mm' (Permanent6). The adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were extracted. To obtain the highest level of reliability (i.e. internal validity), the pooled OR estimates were assessed accounting for between-study heterogeneity, publication bias and confounding. Result robustness was investigated with sensitivity and subgroup analyses. Results: Fifty-four primary studies from Africa, America, Asia and Europe were included. The sampled individuals were children, adolescents and adults. Overall, there were >10 000 patients with TDI. The pooled OR estimates resulted 2.31 (95% confidence interval -95CI, 1.01-5.27), 2.01 (95CI, 1.39-2.91) and 2.24 (95CI, 1.56-3.21) for Primary3, Permanent3 and Permant6, respectively. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses corroborated these estimates. Conclusions: Reliability and generalizability of pooled ORs were high enough and made it possible to assess that the fraction of global TDIs attributable to large overjet is 21.8% (95CI, 9.7-34.5%) and that large overjet is co-responsible for 235 008 000 global TDI cases (95CI, 104,760,168,000). This high global burden of TDI suggests that preventive measures must be implemented in patients with large overjet.

Visual impairment is defined as the partial or total loss of vision, which according to the World Health Organization may affect more than one billion people worldwide. 1,2 Visual impairment is considered a public health problem and is less common in children and adolescents. 1,2 Conversely, traumatic dental injuries (TDI) are a public health problem 3 and they are frequently observed in children and adolescents. 4 Such injuries can compromise function and aesthetics and they may even lead to tooth loss, thus negatively influencing the quality of life. [5][6][7] Visual impairment can be considered a risk factor for TDI given the difficulties imposed by limited physical perception. 8,9 In a systematic review, Silveira et al. demonstrated that people with
