Almost one half of all the dental accidents recorded during this study occurred when the victim was moving and struck a stationary object. Falls and vehicles were about equally responsible for half of the accidents. Accident proneness seemed to be affected by age and sex with the teenage group reporting the most dental accidents (35.76%) and males reported dental accidents three times as often as females. Of orthodontic patients, 16.43 percent had a history of dental accidents in contrast to about five percent of the general population. From the limited data available, approximately three fourths of the persons reporting said no seat belts were available in their automobiles. The remaining one fourth had belts but they were not being used at the time of the dental injury. Right-handed victims tended to be injured on the right side of the mouth and jaw and left-handed victims exhibited more injuries on the left side. As was anticipated, a high percentage (23 percent) of the residents of a hospital for the mentally retarded exhibited dental injuries.
在本研究记录的所有牙科事故中，近一半发生在受害者移动并撞到静止物体时。跌倒和车辆造成的事故各占一半左右。事故倾向似乎受年龄和性别的影响，青少年组报告的牙科事故最多（35.76%），男性报告牙科事故的频率是女性的三倍。在正畸患者中，16.43%有牙科事故史，而普通人群中这一比例约为5%。根据有限的可用数据，约四分之三报告的人表示他们的汽车没有安全带。其余四分之一有安全带，但在牙齿受伤时未使用。惯用右手的受害者往往口腔和颌部右侧受伤，惯用左手的受害者左侧受伤更多。正如预期的那样，一家智障人士医院中很大比例（23%）的居民存在牙齿损伤。
