Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the profile and characteristics of patients treated at a dental trauma reference center, and identifying frequency, types of traumatic injuries and treatments performed.
Methods: This retrospective study was carried out with dental records of children aged 6 to 60 months attended at the Primary Dental Trauma Clinic of FAO/UFMG between 2007 and 2019. Characteristics of the child and traumatic dental injuries, immediate care (2 hours after the trauma) and socioeconomic status were analyzed. Data analysis was performed descriptively using frequency distribution.
Results: Of the total of 610 dental records, 365 children (59.8%) were male; 335 (54.9%) were up to 3 years old, 446 (73.1%) were low-income and 335 (54.9%) had mothers who studied up to high school. Dental hard tissue injuries were more frequent in children aged 3 years or less (60.4%), but after 3 years of age, the most frequent injuries were supporting tissue injuries (48.0%). Among dental hard tissue injuries, enamel crack and/or fracture was the most frequent injury (15.0%). Intrusive luxation was the most frequent lesion in supporting tissues injuries (11.2%) and gingival lesions was the most frequent soft tissue injuries (9.5%). Overall, 212 children (34.8%) sought care within two hours of the injury. Extraction was the most common treatment for supporting tissue injuries (44.3%), followed by space maintainers (22.8%). In dental hard tissues injuries, extraction was also the most frequent treatment (35.8%), followed by restoration (30.2%).
Conclusion: In conclusion, most traumatic dental injuries in the primary dentition occurred in boys under 3 years of age, and the most common injuries were enamel cracks/fractures, followed by intrusive luxation.
