Abstract

Traumatic dental injuries to children and their sequelae are of concern to both the clinicians and the parents of the affected children. Most of the available retrospective studies on trauma in children present a contrasting volume of data. The present study is aimed at determining the prevalence of traumatic injuries to anterior teeth in 30,000 school children in the Karnataka State, Southern India and to determine the common etiology and place of occurrence of trauma. Children aged between 4-16 years were surveyed. The children were divided into preschool, primary school and high school category. The findings of the present study can be employed in an organized municipal effort to educate school teachers, school children and their parents about dental trauma, its prevention and emergency management of the same.
