Abstract
This study investigated the pattern and treatment of traumatic dental injury (TDI), with respect to the time elapsed prior to the initial visit to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Chonnam National University Dental Hospital for TDI, from January 2009 to December 2013. The dental trauma records of a total of 378 patients (940 traumatic teeth) were analyzed. The prevalence rate of dental trauma was twofold higher in males versus females. The principal cause of injury, among all participants, was falling (36.5%). The most commonly affected teeth were the maxillary central incisors (66.9%). Subluxation (43.9%) represented the most common trauma for primary teeth, and uncomplicated crown fracture in permanent teeth (30.9%). Only 10% of patients visited the dental clinic within 1 hour of sustaining trauma. The principal treatment provided for primary teeth, during the initial clinical visit, was follow-up (53.2%); for permanent teeth it was root canal treatment (27.3%). The prevalence of root canal treatment for permanent teeth increased commensurate with the time elapsed since injury. These data suggest that delayed checkup following trauma may increase the risk of loss of pulp vitality.
