چکیده
UNLABELLED In recent years there has been a considerable increase in the number of temporary teeth injuries, this variability being determined by multiple etiologic factors, which we need to be aware of, as well as by predisposing conditions. AIM To characterize the epidemiology, etiology and pathology of specific types of periodontal-dental trauma in a series of preschool children from Iasi County. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included a total of 672 subjects aged 3 to 7 years old, from both urban and rural areas of Iasi County. Statistical analysis was performed using STATISTICA software used in medical research. RESULTS Prevalence of periodontal-dental trauma in the study group was 19.64%. Gender distribution in the study group showed a preponderance of males (62.12%). The risk of periodontal-dental trauma in deciduous teeth was 1.63 times higher in boys compared to girls. Fall accidents (41.67%) closely followed by playground accidents (31.82%) were the most common causes of periodontal-dental trauma in the study group. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of temporary dental trauma in the study group was relatively high, requiring the implementation of oral health promotion strategies and prevention programs, primarily addressed to parents and educators.
