Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) are among the most serious dental public health problems in childhood. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of anterior tooth TDIs in 7- to 18-year-old children who presented for treatment over a period between January 2007 and December 2016, and to survey the effect of an increased health awareness and educational campaign about the risk of TDIs and the importance of prevention methods in decreasing their prevalence compared with data published in the years 1985-1999.
The current study was carried out on 454 children who presented for treatment at the Department of Paediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics in Budapest, Hungary.
The prevalence of TDIs was 1%. Males experienced more dental injuries than females. The incidence of dental trauma peaked at 9 years of age. The most observed injury was luxation. Most accidents occurred during playtime at home. TDIs occurred most frequently in the spring.
The increased health awareness, a wide educational campaign about the risk of TDIs and the importance of prevention methods have essentially contributed to the decrease in the prevalence of TDIs, with an increase of luxation injuries and a decrease of teeth fractures.
外伤性牙损伤（TDI）是儿童中最严重的口腔公共卫生问题之一。本研究旨在确定 2007 年 1 月至 2016 年 12 月期间就诊的 7 至 18 岁儿童前牙 TDI 的患病率，并调查与 1985 年至 1999 年发表的数据相比，提高对 TDI 风险和预防方法重要性的健康意识和教育运动对降低其患病率的影响。
本研究对在匈牙利布达佩斯儿童牙科和正畸科就诊的 454 名儿童进行了研究。
TDI 的患病率为 1%。男性比女性经历更多的牙齿损伤。牙外伤的发病率在 9 岁时达到峰值。最常见的损伤是脱位。大多数事故发生在家庭游戏时间。TDI 最常发生在春季。
提高健康意识、广泛的 TDI 风险和预防方法的教育运动，极大地降低了 TDI 的患病率，增加了脱位损伤，减少了牙齿骨折。
