“…Dental injuries showed a greater prevalence among patients with disabilities compared with healthy persons, even though these children do not participate in contact sports or radical physical activities . Generally, for individuals with disabilities, dental trauma may occur because of inadequate motor coordination, uncontrolled movements of the head, seizures, or delayed response to surrounding obstacles …”

Background/Aims There is a lack of information about the incidence of dental trauma in Turkish children with disabilities and those in detention centers. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of dental trauma in two groups estimated to have high‐potential risk, young prisoners and disabled children, compared with healthy peers. Materials and methods A total of 530 children were included in the study. The participants were divided into three groups: Disability Group (n=238), Imprisoned Children Group (n=231) and school children (n=61) as the Control Group. The occurrence of dental trauma was evaluated according to age and gender. Statistical evaluations were done by using SPSS statistics‐22 programme. Results The mean age of all participants was 14.85 ± 3.43 years. Males predominated (75.8%). In the Imprisoned Children Group, not only maxillary and mandibular incisors but also canines had dental trauma. Time of imprisonment and education level did not have any significant effect on dental trauma occurrence among children in detention centers. In the Disability Group, the disability type did not have any significant effect. In the Control Group, maxillary central incisors were the most traumatized teeth. The incidence of dental trauma was 11.3% in the Imprisoned Children Group, 4.6% in the Disability Group, and 9.8% in the Control Group. There was a significant difference among the three groups (p:0.027; p<0.05). Conclusion Dental trauma incidence may differ among disabled, imprisoned, and healthy children. Hence, children from different parts of the community should be included in epidemiological studies to provide a more accurate incidence of dental trauma.

“…The significantly higher prevalence of TDI in the study group (8.7%) compared to the control group (4.1%) may be related to several predisposing factors among CSHCN including: limited motor coordination, intellectual disabilities, involuntary physical movement, oral pathological reflexes, spasticity in masticatory muscles, slower responses to surrounding obstacles,7,[9][10][11] hyperactivity as in ADHD, 6,8 lack of coordination and sensation of the surroundings (visual and hearing impairment),17,18 or changes in behavior and social interaction (ASD) 4.

Prevalence of TDI was higher in CSHCN, and associated with increased overjet and incompetent lips. Uncomplicated crown fracture was the most common injury. In both groups, the main reason for not seeking treatment was lack of dental awareness among parents/caregivers; however, difficulties in getting an appointment and availability of dental clinics willing to see children were more prominent in the CSHCN group.

“…While TDIs have a high prevalence in the population, they might be prevented through educational programs or using personal protective equipment such as mouthguards . They might be associated with occlusal problems, such as increased overjet, as well as obesity and visual deficiencies . The occurrence of TDIs in children negatively interferes with their families’ quality of life .…”
