It is important for dentists to advise patients and their parents about the predisposing risk factors associated with some malocclusions. The vast majority of TDI occur in the maxillary anterior (upper front) teeth in young girls and boys. Two major factors that increase the risk of such injuries are an increased overjet (protruding upper teeth) and lip incompetence (lips do not close easily). Children with other conditions such as severe underbite, open bites, and crossbites are also more susceptible to TDI.</p><p>Consideration of these predisposing factors leads to the obvious question of whether orthodontic intervention for people with these conditions will help to prevent injuries to their teeth. Orthodontic treatment at an early age through the use of various functional fixed (braces) or removable (plates) appliances can help to reposition the teeth so that they are in a more favorable position and less susceptible to dental injuries.</p><p>Several scientific reviews have discussed this question. A Cochrane review concluded that “providing early orthodontic treatment for children with prominent upper front teeth is more effective for reducing the incidence of incisal trauma than providing one course of orthodontic treatment in adolescence.” Analia and Liu concluded “that providing early orthodontic treatment/two stages for children with prominent upper front teeth is more effective for reducing the incidence of upper front teeth trauma (incisal trauma) than providing one course of orthodontic treatment in adolescence.” Cobourne et al. concluded that “although early treatment does not result in improved overall outcomes when compared to later treatment, some consideration should be given to starting early when it is thought that there is a real increased risk of dental trauma or a child is being teased because of their overjet.”</p><p>Hence, there is sound scientific evidence to support early intervention through orthodontic treatment to reduce the likelihood of dental trauma in children whose teeth are in unfavorable positions. However, many other factors must also be considered by the parents and the treating dental practitioners when deciding whether to initiate orthodontic treatment at a young age.</p><p>All authors contributed to the development of this paper and approved its final form.</p><p>No funding was received for the presented work.</p><p>The authors declare there are no competing interests for the above manuscript.</p><p>No ethics approval was required for this paper.</p>","PeriodicalId":55180,"journal":{"name":"Dental Traumatology","volume":"40 S1","pages":"16-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/edt.12927","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139747792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Primary prevention includes education of people participating in sports or other activities where they are at risk of a TDI. It also includes the education of parents and other people involved (such as coaches, administrators, etc.). Dentists should provide preventive care by recognizing the risks and treating them, as well as by offering guidance on the use of protective devices and safety equipment. Education can be provided in person at dental clinics and hospitals, schools, and other community organizations. Online modes of education such as television channels, YouTube, and social media can also be used as effective means to spread the message as widely as possible. Regular dental examinations can help to identify and reduce the risks or chances of TDI and they are an ideal opportunity to provide customized mouthguards for patients.</p><p>Secondary prevention of TDI is almost entirely dependent upon dental professionals. Dentists must be well versed with the latest guidelines for the management of TDI that are published by the International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT). Several clinical decision support tools such as the Tooth SOS app can also play important roles in providing immediate guidance.
