N2  - A representative sample of 2020 schoolchildren, aged 6 to 15 years, was randomly selected from 85 state and private schools in Rennes and distributed in 10 groups, according to their age. Type and prevalence of dental injuries were determined in each group, using Ellis and Davey's classification, giving rise to a subset of 345 subjects. Simple enamel fracture was the predominant injury (59.4%), occurring most often on maxillary central incisors. Most time (77.1%), the trauma affected only one tooth. Mean prevalence of dental injuries was 13.6% from 2020 subjects. Boys showed a higher prevalence than girls (respectively 17% and 10.2%), but this difference was only significant for age-groups 12 and 13 (p less than 0.001) and for the whole group of 6-15 (p less than 0.001).<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
