Abstract:
An investigation on some epidemiologic factors in children with traumatized permanent
anterior teeth was carried out in a clinical population of children 6-15 years of age. The
results suggested that males showed a higher incidence of trauma with a male to female
ratio of 1.9:1.0.The largest percentage of injuries was demonstrated by the nine year old
children. The results of the questionnaire indicated that parents had wrong attitudes due
mainly to their poor knowledge about the management of traumatic dental injury. This study
also revealed the need for an educational programme aimed at improving the parents
knowledge about the management of traumatic dental injuries in children
