Social and behavioral risk factors for maxillary incisor trauma in an adolescent Arab population

Abstract

Univariate logistic regression detected reduced trauma risk among subjects of high income families (P = 0.009) and among subjects attending private schools (P = 0.026). Sports and physical activities were more prevalent in boys than in girls (P = 0.000) and associated with trauma in the sample as a whole (P = 0.001), but not separately in boys and girls. No effect was detected of obesity, number of siblings and increased caries experience. Univariate analyzes also detected increased trauma risk in boys (P = 0.000) and in subjects with increasing intervals of overjet (P = 0.000). Following use of multiple regressions with forward selection, only male gender, increasing overjet, and high family income were included in the final prediction model. Our findings suggest that behaviors associated with high family income and private school attendance reduce the risk of incisor trauma among adolescents in Kuwait, and that the gender difference in sports activities is an unlikely explanation for the gender difference in trauma.

Traumatic Dental Injuries and Its Relation to Overweight among Indian School Children Living in an Urban Area

“…Further, the relationship between the presence of dental trauma and OW (≥85 th percentile BMI) was statistically significant in our study which is in agreement with the findings in the literature [8,9,22]. On the contrary, few other studies did not detect any statistically significant relation between TDI and OW [20,23,24]. Petti et al, [22] had suggested that lower adeptness among the obese individuals make them more prone to these injuries.…”

Prevalência de traumatismo dentário e fatores associados em adolescentes no concelho do Porto

“…Quanto ao tipo de dente, verificou-se que foram sobretudo os incisivos centrais superiores os dentes mais acometidos por trauma, tal como em estudos prévios 2,4,8,9,11,12,14,15,[18][19][20][21][22][23] , quer pelo facto de estes erupcionarem mais precocemente que os incisivos laterais superiores, estando portanto sujeitos a um maior período de exposiç ão a fatores de risco 12,15 , quer pela sua posição e morfologia 4,8,25 .…”

“…Verificou-se que existe relaç ão estatisticamente significativa entre trauma e género masculino, tal como em estudos anteriores 2,4,11,13,16,17,[19][20][21]25,27 . Outras investigaç ões, também referem maior suscetibilidade deste género, embora sem significado estatístico 3,8,9,14,15,18,23,24,29 .…”

“…Verificou-se não existir relaç ão entre trauma e overjet, em oposiç ão a outros estudos 8,[12][13][14]16,17,19,20,24,25 , sendo importante referir que o presente estudo considerou overjet aumentado a partir de 3 mm e os restantes consideraram 4 mm como o valor mínimo.…”
