Purpose: To research about maxillofacial traumatic injuries of children in aspects of gender difference, various incidence rates between age, trauma type, cause, monthly and daily incidence rate, type of tooth damage, gingival damage, soft tissue damage, and type of facial bone fracture. Materials and methods: Study group consisted of children under 15 years of age who visited Dental Hospital, School of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University from 2004/7/1 to 2007/6/30 with chief complaint of oral and maxillofacial traumatic injuries. 1,559 cases of traumatic injuries were studied from 1,556 (1,004 male, 552 female) children.

Falling down was the most common cause of injury in both sexes. 4. The months with the highest incidence rates were in order May (12.12%), June (11.74%), and October (11.13%). Most of the injuries occurred on weekends. 5. The most common tooth injury was uncomplicated crown fracture, and the most common periodontal injury was subluxation. The majority of traumatizes teeth were the upper central incisors. 6. The most common soft tissue injury was intraoral lacerations. 7. Mandibular fractures were most frequent in facial bone fractures; symphysis, condylar head, and angle fractures were most frequent in mandibular fractures; maxillary and nasal bone fractures were most frequent in midfacial bone fractures.

A majority of patients who sustain injuries to the peripheral sensory nerves of the face and jaws experience a slow but gradual return of sensation that is functional and tolerable, if not the same as before the injuries. However, long-term effects of such injuries are aggravating for many patients, and a few patients experience significant suffering. In some of these patients, posttraumatic symptoms become pathological and are painful. The predominant painful components are (1) numbing anesthesia dolorosa pain, (2) triggered neuralgiaform pain, (3) burning and aching causalgiaform pain, and (4) phantom pain. This is a case report of conservative management of traumatic neuralgia and neuritis as part of posttraumatic pain syndromes in geriatric patients who have undergone the teeth extraction and alveoloplasty.

성장 발육중인 어린이나 청소년에서 치아에 가해지는 외상성 손상은 성인에 비하여 흔히 일어난다. 외상이 일어난 후부터 적절한 치료가 시행될 때까지 소요된 시간은 특히 예후를 결정하는데 중요한 요소이며, 외상성 치아 손상을 입은 환자를 검사하고 치료하는데 사용되는 시간이 제한되어 있기 때문에, 만약 적절한 치료가 시간 내에 시행되지 않는다면 환자에게 심각한 결과를 초래할 수 있다. 이전 연구들에 의하면, 외상의 발생율은 8-10세 아이들에게서 가장 흔하고, 가장 많이 이환된 치아는 상악 영구 중절치이며, 남자의 경우가 여자보다 2:1로 빈도가 높았다. 상악 중절치의 치근 완성시기는 평균 10세 정도로 알려져있다. 외상성 손상에 이환된 호발 연령대의 상악 영구 중절치는 대부분 발육중인 미성숙된 치아로, 혈류공급이 왕성하여 손상시 재혈관화에 의한 치유가 비교적 쉽게 일어날 수 있어 치수 생활력에 대한 긍정적인 예후가 기대될 수 있다. 본 증례는 외상성 손상을 받은 미성숙 상악 영구 중절치의 치근파절 치험례로, 통상적인 근관치료를 하지 않고 보존적인 술식을 통하여 치아의 생활력을 유지할 수 있었기에 그 치료 경과 및 결과를 보고하는 바이다.

본 연구는 원주세브란스기독병원 응급실에 내원한 소아 환자들의 나이, 성별, 외상 발생 장소, 외상의 원인, 외상의 위치, 외상 후 경과시간, 응급실 내원시간, 처치의 유형 등을 파악하기 위해 시행되었다. 2011년 3월부터 2015년 10월까지 치과적 외상으로 인해 원주세브란스기독병원 외상 센터에 내원한 0 - 15세 사이 841명의 환자들의 정보를 수집하였다. 외상은 남아에서 호발하였으며, 호발하는 나이는 0 - 3세였다. 6세 미만에서는 집에서 외상이 가장 호발하고, 넘어지는 것이 외상의 가장 주된 원인이었다. 하지만 6세 이상에서는 외상의 장소로 집이 크게 줄어들었으며, 외상의 원인으로 넘어지는 것이 줄어들고 스포츠와 기타 원인이 매우 크게 증가하였다. 나이 대 별로 외상의 원인과 장소에서는 유의한 차이를 보였다. 외상의 위치로는 입술과 상악 절치가 가장 많은 빈도수를 보였다. 응급실을 내원하는 시간대로는 18 - 24시(53.3%)에 내원하는 환자가 가장 많았으며, 0 - 6시(4.6%)에 내원하는 환자는 가장 적었다. 외상 후 경과 시간은 1시간 이내가 51.5%, 1 - 2시간이 26.8%, 2 - 3시간이 11.5%로, 3시간 이내에 내원하는 환자가 89.8%에 달했다. 응급에서 행해지는 처치의 유형으로는 경과관찰을 하는 경우가 가장 많았으며, 가장 많이 행해지는 술식은 봉합술이었다. 본 연구를 통해 소아의 치과적 외상과 응급실 방문은 환아의 성별, 나이, 상황에 따라 역학적인 특징을 보인다는 것을 살펴보았다. 외상의 양상은 어린이의 사회, 발달, 생리적인 요인이 종합되어 나타난다.

It is well known that the majority of dental injuries occur in children and adolescent. An injury to the teeth can have serious and long-term consequences, leading to their discoloration, malformation, or possible loss. The emotional impact of such an injury can be far reaching. The majority of dental injuries in the primary and permanent dentitions involve the anterior teeth, especially the maxillary central incisors. Concussion, subluxation, and luxation are the commonest injuries in the primary dentition, while uncomplicated crown fractures are commonest in the permanent dentition. If it is decided to preserve a traumatized primary tooth, it should be carefully observed for clinical and radiographic signs of pulpal or periodontal complications. Radiographs are also examined closely to disclose any damage to the permanent successor. The intervals between reexaminations should be individualized depending on the severity of trauma, the expected type of complications and the age of the patient. Most complications are observed within the first year of the trauma. However, the follow-up evaluation of permanent teeth should continue until treatment of all complications is completed, or until a lost or extracted permanent tooth has been adequately replaced. It is important that the dentist and the other members of the dental team are well prepared to meet the many complex and challenging problems in the care of dental emergencies.
