Abstract
Background: Dental trauma is most common in younger people, accounting for 17% of injuries to the body in those aged 0–6 years compared to an average of 5% across all ages. The present study was conducted to assess the traumatic dental injuries in children. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 380 children. Type of trauma, type of dentition and causes of trauma was recorded in all subjects. Results: Out of 380 subjects, boys were 220 and girls were 160. Age group 4-8 years had 45 boys and 40 girls, 8-12 years had 115 boys and 90 girls and 12-16 years had 60 boys and 30 girls. Boys had 340 teeth and girls had 235 teeth which showed traumatic injury. The main reason for traumatic injuries was sports injury (boys- 75, girls- 50), fall (boys- 50, girls- 35), traffic accidents (boys- 45, girls- 20), bicycle riding (boys- 30, girls- 25) and fight (boys- 20, girls- 30). The most common injury was Ellis class I (125) followed by class II (105), class V (95), class VI (60), class VIII (50), class IV (48), class III (37), class VII (30) and class IX (25). Conclusion: Dental trauma is quite common in children. Deciduous teeth are more prone to get traumatized. The most common cause is sports injury and fall. Boys show higher prevalence of traumatic injuries
