Permanent tooth trauma was studied from a population of 107 traumatized children, aged between 6 and 15 years, who were referred for dental trauma consultation and dental emergencies for a period of 12 months.
An interview of the parents, as well as a clinical and radiographic examination, were carried out in order to specify the circumstances, the location and the type of trauma suffered by the child.
The results highlight:
-A trauma prevalence equal to 12.6%
-Male predominance is common in general traumatology.
-The high frequency of trauma is between 9 to 12 years with a peak at the age of 10 years.
-The urgency of the dental traumatism.
-The high frequency of falls followed by road accidents.
-The predominance of the street as a place of occurrence of trauma.
-The high frequency of coronary fractures, dislocations and subluxations.
-The high frequency of trauma involving 2 teeth.
-The frequent localization at the level of the upper central incisors.
-The predominance of restorative treatments and restraints as emergency therapy.
