ABSTRACT
RESUMEN: Objetivo: Sintetizar los resultados de estudios epidemiológicos sobre Traumatismo Dentoalveolar (TDA) en la población chilena. Material y métodos: Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura para identificar estudios poblacionales a nivel nacional, regional, provincial y comunal, además de datos de servicios dentales de atención primaria y secundaria sobre TDA en Chile. Resultados: Se incluyeron 2 estudios con representatividad nacional y 8 realizados en centros de atención en salud. A nivel nacional, la prevalencia de TDA a los 6 años fue de un 2.57%, y a los 12 años, 4.97%. En los estudios realizados en centros de salud, el diagnóstico más prevalente en dentición primaria fueron las lesiones de tejidos de soporte y en dentición permanente, la fractura coronaria. Fue más frecuente la afectación de un solo diente, y los incisivos centrales superiores fueron los dientes más afectados. Conclusiones: Los estudios representativos de la población en Chile son escasos, realizados hace más de una década y representativos sólo de la población de 6 y 12 años, lo cual pone de manifiesto la necesidad de mayor información epidemiológica sobre el TDA en la población chilena.
ABSTRACT: Aim: To summarize the evidence on epidemiological studies about traumatic dental injuries (TDI) in Chile. Methods: A systematic literature review was carried out in two databases to identify population studies at national, regional, provincial and community levels, as well as reports from primary and secondary dental care services, regarding TDI in Chile. Results: Two studies with national representation and eight studies from primary and secondary healthcare centers were included in the analysis. National prevalence for 6-year-old children was 2.57%, and 4.97% for 12-year-old children. While the most frequent diagnosis in primary dentition was traumatic injury involving tooth-supporting tissues, the most commonly reported diagnosis in permanent dentition was crown fracture. Single tooth affection was more frequent, and the upper central incisors were the most affected teeth. Conclusions: Data on representative studies about TDIs in Chile are scarce. Few studies, carried out more than a decade ago and only on 6- and 12-year-old children are available. There is a need for further epidemiological information about TDIs in Chile.
ABSTRACT
Background: Sports injuries are a growing concern which requires immediate attention. Dental injuries are the most common type of orofacial injuries sustained during sports activities. Objectives: This study aims to review the prevalence of sports-related facial trauma in India, to identify the most common types of oro-facial injury incurred due to sports, and to assess the level of awareness regarding preventive measures used in sports. Methodology: The present review was performed in accordance with preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines. All articles published from 2005 to 2019 on sports-related facial trauma were analyzed. PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane reviews databases were searched using primary keywords. Results: A total of 24 articles published in the period of 2005–2019 were included. The prevalence of sports-related facial trauma was found to be the highest in the study conducted by Selva et al., in 2018, at a rate of 75%, whereas it was found to be minimal in the study conducted by Bali et al. in 2013. While the awareness of mouthguards was reported the highest in a study conducted by Ramagoni et al., in 2007. Conclusion: This study shows that there is a definite need to improve the awareness as well as the usage of protective gear, from the level of schooling, where children are introduced to sports. Prevention of sports-related facial trauma is essential to avoid the serious and lifelong consequences which could be the aftermath of such injuries.
ABSTRACT
@#Complete avulsion of teeth are one of the most serious traumatic dental injuries. The preferred treatment is tooth replantation. When teeth usually cannot be treated in time, the periodontal membrane on the root surface becomes necrotic , and the success rate of replantation is greatly reduced. How to use seed cells, growth factors and scaffold materials to promote periodontal tissue regeneration, improve periodontal membrane healing of replanted teeth, and achieve successful replantation of completely dislocated teeth is an urgent problem. Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) express stem cell markers, have the potential to undergo multicellular differentiation and have important application value in periodontal tissue regeneration and repair. Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), lysobisphosphatidic acids (LPA) and other related regulatory factors promote periodontal tissue regeneration. Seed cells combined with scaffold materials can promote periodontal tissue regeneration and repair periodontal tissue defects. At present, studies have shown that PDLSCs and other seed cells have the potential for periodontal tissue regeneration and have been widely studied in experimental animal models of periodontitis and bone defects. However, there are few reports on the application of replanted teeth after complete avulsion, and its mechanism is not clear. In this paper, the research progress of periodontal tissue regeneration after total dislocation replantation is reviewed. We expect to apply periodontal tissue regeneration research to the replantation of fully dislocated teeth to achieve periodontal membrane healing of fully dislocated replanted teeth to provide a theoretical basis for future clinical work.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Dental trauma is an irreversible pathologyand it is a commonly encountered problem in school childrenwhich after occurrence is characterized by lifelong debilitatingeffects because of physical, psychological discomfort andpain. Thus a study was conducted to assess the prevalence ofthe traumatic dental injuries to the permanent anterior teeth inrelation to occlusal relationship among 7-14 years old schoolchildren in Chitradurga townMaterial and Methods: Descriptive cross sectional studywas conducted among 3,363, 7-14 years old school childrenof Chitradurga Town. WHO (ICD-DA) 1995 Classificationwas used for assessing traumatic dental injuries and Angle’sclassification with Dewey’s Modification was used forrecording occlusal relationship. Fifteen Primary and HigherPrimary Schools and Five High schools were selected usingsimple random sampling procedure. Children aged 7-14 yearswere included in the study. Data was recorded using speciallydesigned proforma. The collected data was subjected tostatistical analysis.Results: Among 3,363 children examined prevalence rate was5.5% with higher prevalence in boys than girls. Prevalenceof traumatic dental injuries was more in the age group of10-12 years. Traumatic injuries of permanent anterior teethinvolved both maxillary and mandibular teeth with the higherprevalence in Maxillary anterior’s. Enamel fracture was thehighest (87.8%). Children with Class I type 2 and class IIdivision 1 occlusal relation exhibited very highly significantnumber of dental injuries.Conclusion: Prevalence of traumatic dental injuries wasmore in the age group of 10-12 years. Children with ClassI and class II division 1 occlusal relation exhibited veryhighly significant number of dental injuries than other type ofocclusal relationship
ABSTRACT
Context: Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) leading to dental avulsion occur very frequently in society. Management of avulsion is critical for the dentist, as it requires appropriate knowledge. Aim: The study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge of the general dental practitioners (GDPs) regarding the emergency management of TDI leading to avulsion in children. Setting and Design: Questionnaire-based cross-sectional survey design was utilized to assess the knowledge. Subjects and Methods: Data for this cross-sectional survey were collected through questionnaires from July to September 2014. A total of 278 GDP were contacted and requested to fill a pretested questionnaire to assess the knowledge regarding tooth avulsion. The GDPs were grouped on the basis of their educational qualification and years of clinical experience. Statistical Analysis Used: Chi-square test was used for intra- and inter-group comparison. Results: A total of 224 (80.57%) GDPs consented to participate in the survey. Markedly low knowledge levels were noted in the sample irrespective of educational qualification and years of experience with respect to replantation of the avulsed primary tooth, holding the root instead of the crown, choice of appropriate storage medium for transportation of avulsed teeth, use of medications, and splinting type and time. Clinical experience and higher educational qualification of GDPs revealed statistical significant difference in the methods of management for TDI leading to avulsion. Conclusion: Higher professional education and added clinical experience were associated with better knowledge in the management of TDI leading to avulsion. The finding warrants the need for informative educational programs to update and boost the knowledge of practicing dentists regarding emergency management of avulsed teeth.

Aim: To estimate the prevalence of traumatic dental injuries (TDI) and investigate demographic and socioeconomic factors associated among children attending at School of Dentistry, Southern Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 374 children attending the Pediatric Clinic, from School of Dentistry at the Universidade Luterana do Brasil, Canoas, Southern Brazil. Information from parents/caregivers on socioeconomic factors were obtained with an structured questionnaire. Children were clinically examined and TDI was recorded following Andreasen criteria. Poisson regression with robust variance was employed to determine factors associated with TDI. Results: A total of 15.0% of children exhibited TDI (95% CI 11.5-19.0%). The most common dental injuries involved hard tissues (enamel fracture, enamel and dentine fracture). Adjusted analysis revealed that the probability of TDI was almost 90% higher in older children (10 to 12 years) compared to children who were 7 to 9 years old; (PR 1.89; 95% CI 1.053.43), two fold higher in children from older mothers (≥ 35 years) (PR 2.01; 95% CI 1.233.30), and 66% higher in children from mothers with lower education (≤8 years) (PR 1.66; 95% CI 1.022.70). Conclusion: Our findings showed a high prevalence of TDI. Moreover, sociodemographic factors, specially, maternal schooling and aging were associated with the outcome. Epidemiological studies of specific groups allowed in the organization of health services and elaboration of preventive and curative strategies.
Objetivo: estimar a prevalência de traumatismos alveolodentários (TAD) e investigar fatores sociodemográficos associados em crianças assistidas em um Curso de Odontologia no Sul do Brasil. Métodos: Um estudo transversal foi realizado com 374 crianças atendidas na Clínica Infantil do Curso de Odontologia da Universidade Luterana do Brasil, Canoas, Brasil. Informações sobre fatores sociodemográficos foram obtidas com pais ou cuidadores por meio de um questionário estruturado. As crianças foram clinicamente examinadas e TAD foram registrados, conforme critério de Andreasen. Regressão de Poisson com variância robusta foi empregada para determinar os fatores associados com o desfecho. Resultados: A prevalência de TAD foi de 15,0% (IC 95% 11,0-19,0%). As lesões mais comuns foram lesões aos tecidos duros (fratura de esmalte e de esmalte e dentina), especialmente na dentição permanente. A análise ajustada mostrou que a probabilidade de TAD foi quase 90% maior em crianças de maior idade (10 a 12 anos) em relação a crianças de 7 a 9 anos (RP 1,89; IC 95% 1,053,43), duas vezes maior em filhos de mães com maior idade (≥ 35 anos) (RP 2,01; IC 95% 1,233,30) e 66% maior em crianças de mães com menor escolaridade (≤8 anos) (RP 1,66; IC 95% 1,022,70). Conclusão: Observou-se uma alta prevalência de TAD. Além disso, fatores sociodemográficos, especialmente escolaridade e idade materna, estiveram associados ao desfecho. Estudos epidemiológicos de grupos específicos permitem a organização de serviços de saúde e a elaboração de estratégias preventivas e curativas.
ABSTRACT
RESUMEN: Las lesiones dentales traumáticas (LDT) son comunes, siendo las principales causas: golpes por caídas u objetos, traumatismos deportivos, actividades físicas de ocio y accidentes automovilísticos. Casi todos los casos abarcan los dientes anteriores, con mayor frecuencia los incisivos centrales superiores. De las clasificaciones de LDT, se describe la propuesta por Andreassen y aceptada por la OMS en su «Clasificación internacional de las enfermedades¼ desde 1978. Sumando tecnologías a la práctica odontológica, el diseño asistido por computadora y la fabricación asistida por computadora (CAD/CAM), proporcionan al rehabilitador nuevas modalidades de tratamiento, mejorando el diseño y la aplicación de restauraciones cerámicas libres de metal, que a lo largo de la última década ha demostrado un buen desempeño clínico. Se presentan a la clínica de la Especialidad de Odontología Restauradora Avanzada, tres pacientes, de los cuales el primero se presentó en las primeras 48 horas luego de la LDT en centrales y lateral derecho; dos pacientes presentaban LDT de uno de los incisivos centrales, el primero un adulto de 28 años de edad con una evolución de cinco años y sin ningún tratamiento ejecutado aún; el segundo caso, un niño de nueve años de edad que se presenta con un tratamiento de sistemas de conductos con una evolución de seis meses.
ABSTRACT: Traumatic dental injuries (TDI) are very common, they are mainly originated from blows caused by objects or due to falls, sport injuries as well as injuries sustained during leisure activities and car accidents. Most cases involve anterior teeth, of which upper central incisors are more frequently affected. Andreassen's TDI classification, sanctioned by WHO in 1978 in «International disease classification ¼, is described here. When new technologies are incorporated into dental practice, computer-assisted design and computer-assisted manufacture (CAD/CAM) provide the restorative clinician with new treatment options, thus improving design and application of metal-free ceramic restorations, which, along last decade, have haven proven to provide suitable clinical performance. Three patients were treated at the Advanced Restorative Dental Graduate Program clinic. The first one sought treatment within the first 48 hours after TDI, in central and right lateral teeth; two patients exhibited TDI in one central incisor, the first one was a 28 year old male with a five year evolution of the injury and no previous treatment, the second case was a nine year old child who arrived having been subjected to root canal treatment, with a six month evolution.

El trauma dentoalveolar (TDA) constituye un conjunto de lesiones que comprometen los dientes o a sus estructuras periodontales. En Chile, desde el año 2007, la primera consulta/tratamiento de urgencia del TDA está cubierta por la Ley N 19.966, para todas las personas afiliadas al Fondo Nacional de Salud (FONASA) y a las Instituciones de Salud Previsional Privadas (ISAPRE) a través del Programa de Garantías Explícitas en Salud (GES). Escasos estudios nacionales se han realizado en TDA de adultos y ninguno en relación al impacto del GES en estas lesiones. Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo, descriptivo y transversal de TDA con los Datos de Urgencia de todos los pacientes adultos atendidos en el Hospital de Urgencia Asistencia Pública. Se compararon las variables clínicas, etiológicas, demográficas y sociales entre 2 períodos: pre-GES (1 de Julio de 2005 al 30 de Junio de 2006) y post-GES (1 de julio de 2012 al 31 junio de 2013). En los 2 períodos se observó una mayor frecuencia de TDA en el sexo masculino del grupo de 2029 años, producidos en la mayoría de los casos por violencia interpersonal. Sin embargo se observó en el período post-GES una mayor consulta de TDA por Accidente vehículo-motorizado, presentándose lesiones de mayor gravedad. A pesar de la implementación del GES, se observó una alta frecuencia de TDA no tratados, esto podría deberse a la gravedad del estado sistémico del paciente (postergando el tratamiento de TDA), a la falta de insumos o a la inequidad en la entrega de recursos a los servicios de salud. Es necesario realizar más estudios y vigilancia de parte de la autoridad sanitaria para mejorar las garantías del GES en el tratamiento de los TDA.
Traumatic dental injury (TDI) is a group of injuries that affect hard dental tissues and/or periodontal structures. Since 2007 the first emergency treatment/consult of TDI, for both the National Health Fund (FONASA) and profit private insurer (ISAPRE) affiliates, is guaranteed in the Regulation of Explicit Health Guarantees (GES) established by Chilean Law 19.966. Few national TDI studies in adults have been carried out, and none in relation to the impact of GES in this type of lesion. A retrospective cross sectional study of emergency charts of all adult patients attended at the Hospital de Urgencia Asistencia Pública. Etiological, clinical, demographic and social variables were compared between 2 time periods, Pre-GES period (July, 1 2005 to June, 30 June 2006) versus Post-GES period (July, 1 2012 to June, 31 2013). A high incidence of TDI caused by interpersonal violence in males between 20 and 29 years old was observed in both periods. However, an increased TDI with more severe injuries caused by automobile accident was observed during the post-GES period. In spite of GES implementation, high frequency of non-treated TDI was seen in the present study, this could be due to the severity of the patient´s systemic condition (delaying the TDI treatment), a lack of resources and/or inequity in the delivery of these healthcare resources. More studies and surveillance programs by the Government are needed to improve TDI treatment guarantees, and as well as regular assessment of GES compliance.
ABSTRACT
Current study analyzes the characteristics and epidemiology of oral and nasal fractures and knowledge degree regarding the use of a mouthguard by an amateur university handball team in Brazil. A cross-sectional study comprised 138 students who practiced the sport. They were interviewed on dental and nasal fractures and on the need of mouthguards in games such as amateur handball. Data were processed by descriptive analysis. Results showed that 19.6% had suffered some type of dental injury during the practice of sports, namely 40 fractured teeth; 12% had fractured nasal bones; 57% underwent head and neck injuries; 32% were unaware of the need to use a mouthguard during sports; 68% had heard of mouthguards, but only 4.5% of the interviewees made use of this protection device. There was a high prevalence of nasal and dental fractures in the group under analysis. The upper central incisors were most susceptible to fracture. Even though most athletes knew a mouthguard was needed during sports activities, only 4.5% actually used one.
O presente estudo analisou as características epidemilógicas de fraturas orais e nasais, bem como o grau de conhecimento sobre o uso de um protetor bucal no esporte amador, cujo corpus é a equipe de handebol da Universidade no Brasil. Em um estudo transversal foram entrevistados 138 atletas sobre a ocorrência de fraturas dentais e nasais, além de seu conhecimento acerca da necessidade na prática de handebol amador universitário; os dados foram tabulados e apresentados por meio de análise descritiva. Um total de 19,6% sofreu algum tipo de lesão dental durante a prática do esporte, totalizando 40 dentes fraturados, 12% sofreram fraturas dos ossos nasais, 57% sofreram ferimentos na cabeça e pescoço, 32% não sabiam da necessidade de usar um protetor bucal para o esporte; 68% referiram já ter ouvido falar de protetores bucais, mas apenas 4,5% dos entrevistados fizeram uso deste dispositivo de proteção. Houve alta prevalência de fraturas nasais e dentais no grupo analisado. Os incisivos centrais superiores foram os dentes mais suscetíveis a fraturas. Mesmo que a maioria dos atletas saiba da necessidade de usar um protetor bucal, apenas 4,5% realmente fazem uso desse equipamento.

The aim of the present study was to investigate predisposing factors for traumatic dental injury (TDI) in the primary dentition and seeking of dental care after the occurrence of TDI. A randomized population-based cross-sectional study was carried out with 814 children aged 3 to 5 years enrolled at public and private preschools in the city of Campina Grande, PB, Brazil. Parents were asked to fill out a questionnaire on demographic data and the child's history of TDI. TDI was evaluated by clinical examinations performed by three previously calibrated dentists (Kappa: 0.85 to 0.90). Bivariate and multivariate Poisson regression models were constructed for TDI and the parent-reported search for dental care (α=0.05). The prevalence of TDI was 34.6%. The most common type of TDI was enamel fracture (55.0%). The central incisors were the most frequently affected teeth (87.5%). Predictors for TDI in the primary dentition were household income >U$312.50 (PR: 1.355; 95% CI: 1.050-1.724) and overjet >2 mm (PR: 1.539; 95% CI: 1.219-1.942). The predictor for seeking dental care following TDI was parent's age >30 years (PR: 1.753; 95% CI: 1.039-2.960). Household income and overjet were associated with TDI. Among children having suffered TDI, parent's age is a crucial determinant for seeking dental care.
O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar os fatores predisponentes para o traumatismo dentário (TD) na dentição decídua e a procura por tratamento odontológico após a ocorrência do TD. Um estudo transversal de base populacional randomizado foi realizado com 814 crianças entre 3 e 5 anos de idade, matriculadas em pré-escolas públicas e privadas da cidade de Campina Grande, PB, Brasil. Um questionário foi preenchido pelos pais sobre dados sociodemográficos e histórico de TD da criança. TD foi avaliado através de exames clínicos realizados por três dentistas previamente calibrados (Kappa: 0,85-0,90). Modelos de regressão de Poisson bivariado e multivariado foram realizados para TD e a procura por tratamento odontológico após o TD (α=0.05). A prevalência de TD foi de 34,6%. O tipo mais comum de TD foi a fratura de esmalte (55,0%) e os incisivos centrais superiores foram os dentes mais acometidos (87,5%). Preditores para o TD na dentição decídua foram renda familiar >U$312.50 (RP: 1,355; IC 95%: 1,050-1,724) e overjet >2 mm (RP: 1,539; IC 95%: 1,219-1,942). O fator preditor para a procura de tratamento odontológico após TD foi a idade dos pais >30 anos (RP: 1,753; IC 95%: 1,039-2,960). Renda familiar e overjet foram associados com o TD. Entre as crianças que sofreram TD, a idade dos pais foi um determinante crucial para a procura de tratamento odontológico.

This report describes the clinical procedures involved in the treatment of a complicated crown-root fracture in the maxillary left central incisor with a wide open apex of a 10-year-old male patient, due to fall from his own height. Post-trauma treatment comprised cervical pulpotomy and adhesive tooth fragment reattachment. After 1 year, clinical and radiograph examinations showed pulp necrosis and an associated periapical lesion. Endodontic therapy with calcium hydroxide-base intracanal dressing, root canal filling and orthodontic extrusion were performed. Extrusion was completed within approximately 16 weeks and the tooth was restored with a post-core system and a prosthetic crown. After a 3 years of follow-up, there was no evidence of apical periodontitis and the tooth was satisfactory both esthetically and functionally.
Este relato de caso apresenta os procedimentos clínicos envolvidos no tratamento de um caso de fratura corono-radicular complicada de um incisivo superior esquerdo com ápice aberto de um paciente de 10 anos de idade devido à queda da própria altura. O tratamento envolveu pulpotomia cervical e fixação do fragmento. Após 1 ano, os exames clínicos e radiográficos demonstraram necrose pulpar e lesão perirradicular associada. O tratamento endodôntico foi realizado com a utilização de pasta de hidróxido de cálcio, obturação endodôntica e extrusão ortodôntica. Após aproximadamente 16 semanas, o processo de extrusão foi finalizado e o dente restaurado com pino e coroa protética. Após acompanhamento de 3 anos, não havia evidência de lesão perirradicular e o dente estava estética e funcionalmente satisfatório.

O aumento dos níveis de violência, do número de acidentes de trânsito e uma maior participação das crianças em atividades esportivas contribuem para transformar o traumatismo dental em um problema de saúde pública emergente. Todavia, ainda há carência de dados que mostrem o comportamento deste agravo no Brasil. O objetivo desse estudo foi conhecer a prevalência de traumatismo na dentição permanente e fatores associados em escolares de doze anos de idade de Palhoça (SC). Foi realizado um estudo transversal envolvendo uma amostra representativa dos escolares (n=405). Os critérios de classificação do traumatismo foram os mesmos usados no levantamento nacional do Reino Unido. Testou-se associação entre a prevalência e fatores clínicos e socioeconômicos por intermédio do qui-quadrado. A prevalência encontrada foi de 22,5 por cento, sendo estatisticamente maior no sexo masculino. A maioria dos danos traumáticos foram de pequena magnitude, mas encontrou-se alta necessidade de tratamento entre os dentes passíveis de tratamento imediato. Pode-se concluir que foram altas a prevalência e a necessidade de tratamento do traumatismo dentário em Palhoça. A prevalência não mostrou associação com fatores socioeconômicos ou clínicos.
The increase in the levels of violence, the number of traffic accidents and a greater participation of children in sports activities can transform traumatic dental injuries in an emerging public health problem. However, there is still a lack of data showing the behavior of this oral health event in Brazil. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of traumatic dental injuries in the permanent teeth and its associated factors in 12 year-old schoolchildren in Palhoça, Santa Catarina State. A cross-sectional study was carried out involving a representative sample of schoolchildren (n = 405). The traumatic dental injuries criteria of classification were the same used in the national survey of the United Kingdom. The statistic associations between the prevalence and clinical and socio-economic factors were tested through qui-squared test. The prevalence found was 22.5 percent, and statistically greater in male schoolchildren. Most traumatic injury was of small magnitude, but it was found high treatment needs in teeth suitable for immediate treatment. It can be concluded that the prevalence and the treatment needs of traumatic dental injuries were high in Palhoça. The prevalence showed no association with socio-economic or clinical factors.

O objetivo foi avaliar o conhecimento dos cirurgiões-dentistas sobre procedimentos a serem realizados em casos de traumatismo dentário. Foi um estudo transversal quantitativo, com entrevistas estruturadas com 150 cirurgiões-dentistas do município de Caruaru-PE. O formulário continha 13 perguntas para cada tipo de traumatismo. Os dados receberam análise com técnicas de estatística descritiva e analítica, testes Qui-quadrado ou Exato de Fisher a um nível de significância de 5 por cento. Quantos aos profissionais, 43,3 por cento eram clínicosgerais e 53,7 por cento tinham até 10 anos de formados. Na concussão, o acompanhamento foi a única conduta clínica que apresentou associação significante com o tempo de formado, o mesmo ocorrendo com a subluxação. Em relação à luxação extrusiva, na comparação entre os subgrupos, de acordo com o tempo de formado, registrou-se a maior diferença percentual para os que indicaram: contenção dentária, além daindicação aguarda a reerupção espontânea (p < 0,05). Para a luxação intrusiva, a única diferença em relação ao tempo de formado ocorreu quanto ao tratamento ortodôntico (p < 0,05). Na luxação lateral, nenhuma questão apresentou diferença significativa em relação ao tempo de formado (p>0,05). A maioria dos cirurgiões-dentistas possuía conhecimentos sobre o tratamento emergencial dos casos de traumatismos dentários apresentados, entretanto, se consideravam inaptos para realizá-lo. Neste sentido, um suporte teórico deveria ser realizado, com o intuito de dar maior segurança ao exercício de medidas emergenciais nas situações de traumatismos dentários, contribuindo, assim, para melhorar a qualidade de vida da população.
The objective of this work was to evaluate the knowledge of dental surgeons regarding the procedures to be performed in cases of dental trauma. A transversal quantitative study was performed, with structured individual interviews with 150 dental surgeons inthe city of Caruaru-PE (BR). The form had 13 standardized questions for each type of trauma. Data was analyzed through analytical and descriptive statistical techniques, Chi-square and Exact Fisher tests with a significance level of 5.0 percent. 43.3 percent of the professionals were general physicians and approximately half (53.7 percent) had obtained their degree less than 10 years ago. In the concussion, the follow-up was the only clinical behavior presenting significant association with the time since graduation. The same occurred with the subluxation. In relationto the extrusive luxation, the comparison among the subgroups in respect to the time since his/her graduation registered the largest percentile difference for the ones who had indicated splinting and also indicated wait for spontaneous reeruption (p <0.05). In the intrusiveluxation, the only difference in relation to the time since graduation was the orthodontic treatment (p < 0.05). In the lateral luxation none of the questions presented a significant difference in relation to the time since graduation (p> 0.05). The majority of the dental surgeons interviewed had knowledge on the emergency treatment of the cases of dental traumas presented, but considered themselves inapt to carryit through. In this direction a theoretical support should be given, with the objective of providing greater confidence in the execution of emergency procedures on dental traumas, therefore contributing for the improvement of the life quality of the population.

Dados acerca da prevalência de traumatismo dentário em faixa etária próxima à erupção dos dentes anteriores não estão disponíveis na literatura nacional. O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer a prevalência de traumatismo em dentes anteriores recém irrompidos e fatores a elaassociados em escolares de 7 e 8 anos de idade do município de Tubarão, Santa Catarina. Foi realizado um estudo transversal envolvendo uma amostra representativa dos escolares (n = 401).Os critérios de classificação do traumatismo foram os mesmos usados no levantamento nacional do Reino Unido. Utilizou-se o teste do Qui-quadrado de Pearson para testar as associações entre a prevalência do traumatismo dentário e demais variáveis estudadas, seguido da estimativa das razões de chance (Odds Ratio, OR) e respectivos intervalos de confiança. Para a análise multivariada, utilizou-se o modelo de regressão logística múltipla não-condicional. A prevalência encontrada foide 9,6% estatisticamente associada a estudar em escola privada [OR = 3,26 (IC95% 1,36; 7,84)] e ao gênero masculino [OR = 1,32 (IC95% 1,10; 4,86)]. Pode-se concluir que a prevalência de traumatismo dentário em escolares de 7 e 8 anos de idade de Tubarão, SC foi alta frente à faixa etária estudada, embora comparações não tenham sido possíveis. Esta prevalência mostrou-se estatisticamente associada ao sexo masculino e a estudar em escolas privadas.
Data on the prevalence of traumatic dental injuries in ages near to anterior teeth ruption are unavailable in the national literature. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of traumatic injuries in newly erupted anterior teeth and associated factors in a sample of 7 and8 year-old-schoolchildren in the municipality of Tubarão, Santa Catarina, Brazil. A cross-sectional study was carried out involving a representative sample of schoolchildren (n = 401). The traumatic dental injuries criteria of classification were the same used in the national survey of the UnitedKingdom. The Pearson Chi-squared was used for testing associations between the prevalence of traumatic dental injuries and other studied variables followed by the estimation of the odds ratio(OR) and their confidence intervals. For the multivariate analysis it was used the non-conditional multiple logistic regression model. The prevalence was 9.6% statistically associated with studying inprivate schools [OR = 3.26 (95%CI 1.36, 7.84)] and with males [OR = 1.32 (95%CI 1.10; 4.86)]. It can be concluded that the prevalence of traumatic dental injuries in 7 and 8-year-old schoolchildren in Tubarão was high in relation to the studied age, although comparisons were not possible. Thisprevalence was statistically associated with males and studying in private schools.

O objetivo foi conhecer a prevalência e a necessidade de tratamento por traumatismo dentário em escolares (n=346) de 12 anos de Joaçaba, SC. Foi realizado um estudo transversal envolvendo todos os alunos matriculados no ano de 2001. A prevalência foi de 12,8% não se mostrando estatisticamente associada às variáveis estudadas. Os danos traumáticos foram de pequena magnitude. Encontrou-se alta necessidade relativa de tratamento (88,0%). Concluiu-se que a prevalência foi semelhante à maioria dos estudos envolvendo populações brasileiras, mas a frequência relativa de necessidade de tratamento foi alta, podendo representar negligência no tratamento do evento.
The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence and treatment needs due to traumatic dental injuries in 12 years old schoolchildren of Joaçaba, SC. A cross-sectional study was carried out involving all 12 years old schoolchildren (n=346) in 2001. The prevalence was 12.8% and was not statistically associated with study variables. Most traumatic injuries were of small magnitude, but it was found high relative treatment needs (88.0%). It was concluded that the prevalence was similar with most studies involving Brazilian populations but the relative frequency of treatment needs was high and may represent negligence in the event's treatment.
