Resumo: | Purpose: This cross-sectional study aimed to measure the prevalence of dental trauma in children treated at the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic of the Federal University of Ceara (UFC), Brazil, from January 2002 to December 2005. Methods: The sample consisted of 312 patients who presented a total of 489 injured teeth. The patients’ clinical records were retrieved and provided the information used for statistical analyses. Results: Subjects were 61.9% males and 38.1% females (ratio of 1.6:1), with mean age of 5.84±0.62 year-old. Trauma was more frequent during the first infancy (33.7%), and the most common etiological cause was falls (63.5%). Most trauma injuries (60.3%) occurred at home. The maxillary central incisors were the most affected teeth (82.7%). Intrusive luxation and coronary fracture of the enamel and dentin without pulp exposure were the most common type of trauma in primary (32.3%) and permanent (46.7%) dentition, respectively. Conclusion: In this sample, luxation injuries were the most prevalent type of dental trauma for primary dentition, while more coronary fractures prevailed for permanent dentition.

Key words: Epidemiology; tooth injuries; tooth fracturesObjetivo: Avaliar a prevalência dos traumas dentários de crianças atendidas na disciplina de Odontopediatria da Universidade Federal do Ceará. Metodologia: Durante o período de janeiro de 2002 a dezembro de 2005, 312 pacientes apresentaram-se à clínica citada, totalizando 489 dentes traumatizados, sendo as informações contidas em suas fichas clínicas coletadas e submetidas à análise estatística. Resultados: A amostra foi constituída por 61,9% meninos e 38,1% meninas, numa proporção de 1,6:1. A maior freqüência de trauma ocorreu na primeira infância (33,7%), sendo a média da idade de 5,8±0,6 anos. A causa mais comum de trauma foi queda (63,5%) e a maioria (60,3%) das injúrias traumáticas ocorreram em casa. Os incisivos centrais superiores foram os dentes mais afetados (82,7%). Luxação intrusiva foi o tipo de trauma mais comum na dentição decídua (32,3%), e fratura coronária de esmalte e dentina sem exposição pulpar, na dentição permanente (46,7%). A maioria dos pacientes procurou atendimento 1-7 dias após a ocorrência do trauma (25,0%). Conclusão: Na dentição decídua as injúrias traumáticas por luxação foram mais prevalentes, e na dentição permanente, ocorreram mais fraturas coronárias nesta amostra.
