Prevalence of Dental Trauma -A Review
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: Tooth trauma has been and continues to be a common occurrence that every dental professional must be prepared to assess and treat when necessary. It has no prescriptive method for occurring, possesses no significant predictable pattern of intensity or extensiveness and has the uncanny knack for occurring at times when dentists are least prepared or when the dental office is closed. Dental trauma is a common event in children from an early age, since children are learning to walk and discover their environment, thus being subject to frequent falls. Traumatic injuries in primary teeth result mainly from indoor injuries, such as falling from baby carriages, falling from stairs, or falling against hard objects. The purpose of this article is aimed to present the prevalence of dental trauma, particularly in young patients. Keywords: Dental trauma, children, indoor injuries.
