Abstract
:
The literature lacks studies regarding dental trauma in Saudi Arabia. Aim: To assess dental hard tissue injuries of primary dentition among children aged 1-7 years attending the dental clinics at King Abdulaziz University, Faculty of Dentistry from the period 1999 to 2010. Methods: A total of 3015 records, were investigated. The child age, gender and occlusion; date, place, etiology and type of injury, treatment rendered and time interval between injury and seeking dental care were determined. Results: Of the examined records, the study comprised 49 trauma cases representing 89 injured teeth. Hard tissue injuries represented 33.7% of the trauma cases. There was no significant difference in the prevalence between boys (53.3 %) and girls (46.7 %). The majority of trauma (50%) occurred between the age 2 and 4 years. Fall was responsible for 60% of injuries. Trauma was occurring mainly at home and school with equal distributions (10.0%). Trauma most commonly affected the maxillary anterior teeth (90.0%). Fracture enamel and dentine was seen in 40.0 %. Most injuries (66.7 %) were seen after a month from the trauma. Extraction was the most common type of treatment but in cases of enamel and dentin injuries the treatment of choice was restoration. The average follow-up period was 3 months, of which, 13.3% showed poor prognosis such as peri-apical infection or sinus tract at the site of trauma. Conclusions: The primary dentition was mostly affected by fracture enamel and dentin, in patient between age 2 and 4 years. Most cases delayed seeking treatment for a month. This finding highlights the importance of informing the public about primary tooth injury and their consequences.
