Objectives: Recently, the “Eden Baysal Dental Trauma Index” was introduced as a new index to facilitate recording the traumatic dental injuries. This index contains five digits that define the type of the injury of the dental hard tissues (crown in relation to the pulp and root), periodontal ligament, alveolar process, and the maturity of the root apex. The aim of this study was to evaluate the epidemiology of traumatic dental injuries in primary teeth using the new index.
Materials and Methods: In this study, the dental trauma records of a total of 261 preschoolers (418 traumatized teeth) who attended the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Kyung Hee Dental Hospital for traumatic dental injury between April 2018 and March 2020 were analyzed using the Chi?square test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, Mixed logistic regression and p?values < 0.05 were considered to indicate statistical significance.
Results: In the investigation of whether there were concomitant injuries to one tooth, the rate of concomitant dental injuries was 8.6%. When the root fracture occurred in the cervical 1/3 area, the odds of extraction was about 38 times higher than that of the apical 1/3 fracture. There were significant differences in the presence or absence of crown fracture, root fracture according to the degree of root formation.
Conclusion: Because traumatic dental injuries are often accompanied by complex damage to multiple tissues, treatment should be performed after accurate diagnosis through clinical and radiographic examination. Eden Baysal Dental Trauma Index is useful for clinicians who want to lead a proper diagnosis. Continuous epidemiological studies are necessary for understanding the complexities of traumatic dental injuries.
