Dental trauma occurring to children and teenagers all over the world represents a serious issue in Public Health.
This present study wants to investigate the etiology and the environment in which the dental trauma occurs and also wants to establish a connection between dental trauma and social-economic status.
The study was made to collect information about dental trauma on human subjects involving 372 children and teenagers, both female and male, between 8 and 20 years of age. The data obtained from the clinical and radiological exams for each patient have been registered in a special conceived register, which represented a stage of the study.
The frequency of dental trauma varied from 62.1% for males to 37.9% for women. Most of them have suffered from dental trauma between the age of 14 and 16 (30.1%), and a few between 18 and 20 years (2.2%). Dental trauma has occurred most frequently in school, during sports lessons, followed by those in public places like the street (23.1%), from which 17.1% have been associated with bicycle accidents, 3.5% with scooter accidents and 2.5% with car accidents. Children and teenagers who live in areas with a low social economic level have been the fewest to seek medical attention due to difficult access to medical services.
Overall, this study wanted to present the importance of knowing the frequency of dental trauma in children and teenagers and to point out the need of promoting medical education to parents regarding the means they can use to reduce the risk factors associated with dental trauma.
全球儿童和青少年发生的牙外伤是公共卫生领域的一个严重问题。
本研究旨在调查牙外伤发生的病因和环境，并建立牙外伤与社会经济地位之间的联系。
该研究旨在收集372名8至20岁男女儿童和青少年人类受试者牙外伤的信息。从每位患者的临床和放射学检查中获得的数据已记录在一个专门设计的登记簿中，这是研究的一个阶段。
牙外伤的发生率男性为62.1%，女性为37.9%。他们中的大多数在14至16岁之间遭受牙外伤（30.1%），少数在18至20岁之间（2.2%）。牙外伤最常发生在学校的体育课期间，其次是在街道等公共场所（23.1%），其中17.1%与自行车事故有关，3.5%与踏板车事故有关，2.5%与汽车事故有关。由于获得医疗服务困难，生活在社会经济水平较低地区的儿童和青少年寻求医疗帮助的人数最少。
总体而言，本研究旨在说明了解儿童和青少年牙外伤发生率的重要性，并指出有必要向家长推广医学教育，告知他们可以采取哪些方法来降低与牙外伤相关的风险因素。
