BACKGROUND/AIM: Due to its frequency, early occurrence, and severe adverse effects, if untreated, traumatic dental injury (TDI) is a public dental health issue. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of dental injuries caused by trauma in the anterior teeth among schoolchildren of Yamunanagar (Haryana), Northern India.
A sample of 11,897 schoolchildren in the age-group of 8-12 years from 36 urban/rural schools was examined for TDI using Ellis and Davey classification. Children with TDI were interviewed using a structured questionnaire and presented with validated motivational videos to educate them about dental trauma, the sequelae of unmet treatment, and to motivate them to undergo treatment. The subjects with trauma were reevaluated after 6 months to assess the percentage of subjects who have undergone treatment after motivation.
The overall prevalence of children afflicted with TDI was 6.33%. Statistically, a significant difference of ≤ 0.001 was noted between the percentage of boys (7.29%) and girls (4.8%) experiencing TDI. Maxillary incisors (94.3%) were the most commonly injured teeth. Falls in the playground (37.70%) were the major cause; on reevaluation, only 9.26% of the study population got their traumatized tooth treated. TDI is an existing dental problem. Motivating children at schools was found to be ineffective. There is a need to educate the parents and teachers to take appropriate preventive measures.

背景/目的：由于创伤性牙损伤（TDI）的发生频率、早期发生率及严重不良反应，如果不进行治疗，它是一个公共口腔卫生问题。本研究的目的是调查印度北部哈里亚纳邦亚穆纳讷格尔地区学龄儿童前牙创伤性牙损伤的患病率。
从36所城乡学校选取11897名8至12岁的学龄儿童作为样本，采用埃利斯和戴维分类法检查TDI。对患有TDI的儿童使用结构化问卷进行访谈，并播放经过验证的激励视频，向他们传授牙外伤知识、未接受治疗的后果，并激励他们接受治疗。对有创伤的受试者在6个月后进行重新评估，以评估激励后接受治疗的受试者百分比。
患有TDI的儿童总体患病率为6.33%。在统计学上，经历TDI的男孩（7.29%）和女孩（4.8%）的百分比之间存在显著差异，P≤0.001。上颌切牙（94.3%）是最常受伤的牙齿。在操场摔倒（37.70%）是主要原因；重新评估时，只有9.26%的研究人群对其受伤牙齿进行了治疗。TDI是一个现存的口腔问题。发现在学校激励儿童是无效的。有必要教育家长和教师采取适当的预防措施。
