Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Traumatic dental injuries of primary-dentition (TDI-p) have a global prevalence of approximately 11-47%. They have immediate and long term effects. Original research analysing the long-term sequelae of TDI-p on permanent-dentition (LSP) are few in number. The aim of this study was to explore the correlation between age of TDI-p, type of TDI-p and LSP. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of patient-data from 2008-2017, reporting with LSP due to TDI-p was performed. Uniform protocols and complete radiographic-photographic records were analysed. There were 638 LSP reported with 596 teeth having complete records.

RESULTS: There were 286 children with 153 males (53.5%) and 133 females (46.5%). Mean age of TDI-p causing LSP was 36.57±11.51 months, with severity increasing in the younger age group. The Highest number of LSP was associated with avulsion injuries (218,36.58%) and the odds ratio of the type of TDI-p effecting the severity of LSP was 2.0163. Mean age of reporting was 8.54±2.19 years and was lowest for enamel discolorations. Most LSP were not associated with any associated feature (AF), though impaction was highest among all AF (63,10.57%).

CONCLUSION: Age and type of TDI-p affects LSP, with the former being the stronger determinant of its severity. Mean age of reporting of LSP is dependent upon both type of LSP and AF. LSP due to TDI-p can further be graded in terms of severity. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
