This article provides an overview of periodontal diseases and traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) in children and adolescents, which are serious public health problems worldwide. Periodontal diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis, commonly affect the oral soft tissues and teeth and often co-occur with other chronic diseases. TDIs are prevalent from an early age and carry high treatment costs. Behavioral and environmental factors contribute to both TDIs and periodontal diseases, but their etiology varies according to population characteristics and case definition. Both conditions may lead to pain, function impairment, esthetic problems, and psychosocial effects, with major consequences on quality of life.
本文概述了儿童和青少年的牙周疾病及牙外伤，这些是全球范围内严重的公共卫生问题。牙周疾病，包括牙龈炎和牙周炎，通常会影响口腔软组织和牙齿，并且常常与其他慢性疾病同时发生。牙外伤在幼年时就很普遍，且治疗成本高昂。行为和环境因素会导致牙外伤和牙周疾病，但它们的病因会因人群特征和病例定义而有所不同。这两种情况都可能导致疼痛、功能障碍、美观问题以及心理社会影响，对生活质量产生重大影响。
