The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) to anterior teeth in 8-12-year-old schoolchildren of Patiala city in North India and to study the risk factors related to dental trauma.
An epidemiological cross-sectional survey was conducted. The study consisted of 3,000 schoolchildren from various schools of Patiala city in North India. The body mass index was calculated. Lip competency, anterioposterior molar relationship, overjet, and overbite were examined. Dental injuries to anterior teeth were recorded according to the Ellis classification. Data were collected on a proforma.
The prevalence was found to be 11.4%. Maximum injuries occurred in the 11-year age group and the boys:girls ratio was 1.7:1. The home was the most common place with fall being the most common reason. The relationship between obesity and dental trauma was found to be statistically insignificant, whereas a statistically significant relationship was found between TDIs and incompetent lips, incisal overjet ≥5 mm, and Angle's class II div I molar relation. The Ellis class I fracture was the most predominant type.
The high prevalence of dental trauma stresses the need for the development of preventive strategies. There is a need for increased awareness among parents and children regarding dental trauma.

本研究旨在确定印度北部帕蒂亚拉市8至12岁学童前牙创伤性牙损伤（TDIs）的患病率，并研究与牙外伤相关的危险因素。
进行了一项流行病学横断面调查。该研究包括来自印度北部帕蒂亚拉市各学校的3000名学童。计算了体重指数。检查了唇功能、磨牙前后关系、覆盖和覆合情况。根据埃利斯分类法记录前牙的牙损伤情况。数据通过表格形式收集。
发现患病率为11.4%。最大损伤发生在11岁年龄组，男童与女童的比例为1.7:1。家中是最常见的发生地点，跌倒为最常见原因。发现肥胖与牙外伤之间的关系无统计学意义，而TDIs与唇功能不全、切牙覆盖≥5 mm以及安氏II类1分类磨牙关系之间存在统计学显著关系。埃利斯I类骨折是最主要的类型。
牙外伤的高患病率强调了制定预防策略的必要性。需要提高家长和儿童对牙外伤问题的认识。
