Abstract
Causes of traumatic dental injuries were studied in a sample of 321 Finnish children with injured permanent incisors. In girls the most common cause was falls (36.7%) and with boys sports (33.6%). Among the sports accidents, gymnastics dominated for girls and ice hockey for boys. Bicycling was also a markedly frequent cause of accidents in boys. The proportion of severe injuries was significantly higher in ice hockey and bicycling accidents than in other sports accidents.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
