Traumatic Dental Injuries

By Sonali Sodhi and Amitha Hegde

Several dental concerns like dental caries, periodontal problems, and genetic disorders can compromise a child's dentition. One of the leading factors that contribute to this is traumatic dental injury (TDI). Any kind of injury to the hard or soft tissue in and around the oral cavity is known as dental trauma. Dental trauma has become one of the major dental problems faced by children and adolescents. It is more expensive and time-consuming as compared to other traumatic injuries presented to the emergency hospital and clinics.Despite the preponderance associated with traumatic dental injuries (TDI), it can be noted that there is a lack of understanding and knowledge when it comes to the incidence, etiology, preventive measures for these injuries. Therefore the situation demands the development of appropriate educational and awareness programs, taking these adequate measures can help with slackening these rising numbers.Educating the individuals who oversee and handle children and are thus likely to be at the accident site TDI, has been deemed necessary.
