abstract="Traumatic dental injuries (TDI) have emerged as a significant global public health concern. One major problem which is developing and yet unreported is the incidence of traumatic dental injuries and soft tissue facial trauma due to the inadvertent falling of smart phones on to the face during their use in rest time. This is related to the weight of the smart phones and their excessive use in all parts of the world. This paper aims to highlight this phenomenon as an emerging etiological factor for dental and facial injuries in children. This article is protected by copyright.
