TY - JOUR PY - 1980// TI - On the causes of traumatic dental injuries with special reference to sports accidents in a sample of Finnish children. A study of a clinical patient material JO - Acta odontologica Scandinavica A1 - Järvinen, S. SP - 151 EP - 154 VL - 38 IS - 3 N2 - Causes of traumatic dental injuries were studied in a sample of 321 Finnish children with injured permanent incisors. In girls the most common cause was falls (36.7%), and with boys sports (33.6%). Among the sports accidents, gymnastics dominated for girls and ice hockey for boys. Bicycling was also a markedly frequent cause of accidents for boys. The proportion of severe injuries was significantly higher in ice hockey and bicycling accidents than in other sports accidents.
