Purpose: As children begin to walk and move, they become vulnerable to traumatic injuries to the primary teeth. The purpose of this study was to analyze trauma experience of patients who visited Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Pusan National University Dental Hospital associated with traumatic injuries to the deciduous tooth.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was performed with 182 patients who visited Dental Hospital from March 2017 to September 2019 and aged between 0 and 6 years old with primary dentition. Patients’ age, sex, elapsed time after trauma, place of occurred trauma, diagnosis, cause of trauma, area of trauma and treatment for trauma were investigated.
Results: The most common trauma type in primary dentition was subluxation (38.6%) followed by intrusion (15.7%), and avulsion (11.1%). The main cause of trauma was slip down (50.0%) followed by collision, fall, bicycle, kick?board, traffic accident and sports. The most commonly affected deciduous tooth was the upper primary central incisor (65.7%).
Conclusion: In patients aged 0?2 years, 36.8% of trauma was caused by fall, whereas only 8.3% of patients over 2 years of age were traumatized by fall. As children begin to walk, the frequency of trauma caused by slip down and collision is increased. This suggests that children's physical and social activities become more active according to their age. Therefore, proper diagnosis, rapid response, and preventive measures are needed for trauma in primary dentition.
