Abstract

The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyse data from the records of patients seen in the dental trauma emergency clinic in a general hospital in the city of Recife, Brazil, during the years 1997-1999, according to sex, age, cause, number of injured teeth, type of tooth and type of trauma. The records of all patients seen by dentists were collected. Altogether, 250 patients from 1 to 59 years of age presenting 403 dental injuries were examined and/or treated. The causes of dento-alveolar trauma were classified in five categories: home injuries, street injuries, school injuries, sports activities, violence. The type of trauma was classified by dentists working at the dental trauma clinic on the basis of Andreasen's classification. The gender difference in the number of cases of trauma was statistically significant (males 63.2% vs females 36.8) (P<0.0001). Fracture in enamel only (51.6%) and fractures in dentine (40.8%) were the most commonly occurring types of injury. Injuries were most frequently diagnosed as serious among the youngest patients (up to 15 years of age); 82.4% of intrusive luxation cases were diagnosed in the 1-5 years age group. The main causes of tooth injury were falls (72.4%), collisions with objects (9.2%), violence (8.0%), traffic accidents (6.8%) and sports (3.6%). Trauma caused by violence was found to be statistically significant in the 6-15 years age group (P<0.0005).
回顾性研究创伤性牙损伤在巴西牙外伤诊所。
这项回顾性研究的目的是根据性别、年龄、原因、受伤牙齿数量、牙齿类型和创伤类型,分析1997-1999年在巴西累西腓市一家综合医院牙科创伤急诊诊所就诊的患者记录中的数据。收集了所有牙医看过的病人的记录。总共检查和/或治疗了250名年龄在1至59岁之间、出现403例牙齿损伤的患者。牙槽损伤的原因分为5类:家庭伤害、街道伤害、学校伤害、体育活动伤害和暴力行为伤害。创伤类型由在牙外伤诊所工作的牙医根据Andreasen分类进行分类。创伤例数的性别差异有统计学意义(男性63.2%,女性36.8)(P<0.0001)。牙釉质骨折(51.6%)和牙本质骨折(40.8%)是最常见的损伤类型。最年轻的患者(15岁以下)最常被诊断为严重损伤;82.4%的侵入性脱位病例发生在1 ~ 5岁年龄组。造成牙齿损伤的主要原因是跌倒(72.4%)、碰撞(9.2%)、暴力(8.0%)、交通事故(6.8%)和运动(3.6%)。暴力造成的创伤在6-15岁年龄组中有统计学意义(P<0.0005)。
