BACKGROUND: Traumatic @entity8495 (TDIs) are significant clinical problems that may have complex etiologies and may cause physical and physiological impairment. AIM: The aim of this study was to determine the demographic and clinical characteristics of TDIs in a group of Turkish subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The prevalence of TDIs and the pattern of traumatized teeth were studied in relation to age, gender, cause, location, and @entity130 . This study was carried out to include all age groups and teeth. TDIs were recorded using the World Health Organization classification modified by Andreasen et al. RESULTS: The prevalence of TDIs was found to be 4.4% (255 injured @entity1 /5800 presented @entity1 ), and the injuries were most commonly observed in the age group of 11-20 years. Males were more affected than females (males, 153; females, 102). The most common cause of @entity130 was falling (68.2%), and the most common place of @entity130 was outdoors (56.1%). 4, 7% of @entity1 injured because of their @entity262 diseases. The most frequently injured teeth were the upper central incisors (primary teeth, 64.5%; permanent teeth, 72.5%), and the most common type of @entity8495 was uncomplicated crown @entity174 in both primary (63%) and permanent dentition (47%). CONCLUSION: In the surveyed population, the prevalence of TDIs was found to be low. However, the teacher and family of adolescents and the caregivers of @entity1 with some @entity262 diseases like @entity302 should be warned about TDIs.
