Abstract
Objective: To determine the prevalence, associated risk factors and unmet treatment needs of trauma to permanent anterior teeth in 12 to 15 year old school going children in urban and rural areas of Faridabad, Haryana.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out through clinical examination of the upper and lower permanent anterior teeth. Type III examination of 1,090 school children (rural=525, urban=565) was done. Dental trauma was classified according to Ellis and Davey (1960) criteria on a prepared examination form.
Results: The prevalence of trauma was observed as 24% and 20.9% in rural and urban schoolchildren respectively; more prevalent in boys. The most common type of injury was the 'enamel only' fracture; falls and fights being the main cause of trauma; affecting the maxillary central incisor the most. A high level of untreated traumatized teeth observed in rural and urban schoolchildren was 96.8% and 81.4% respectively.
Conclusion: The high prevalence and unmet treatment needs of dental trauma clearly illustrates importance of recognizing anterior tooth trauma as major dental public health problem.
