Dentoalveolar trauma is classified as a high-prevalence injury in childhood, caused by falls, sports accidents, among other situations, to which children are more prone due to their development, including falls from their own height when learning to walk. This article aimed to review the literature regarding dental trauma in childhood and its risk factors, classification, and effects on permanent dentition. The results showed that malocclusion type and lack of lip protection are among the predisposing factors, specifically anterior open bite, Angle Class II Division 1, and mouth breathing. The time elapsed between trauma and dental care significantly influences the patient's prognosis, thus requiring immediate dental consultation upon trauma occurrence. Another important point to consider is the late sequelae of trauma, leading to effects on permanent dentition, with enamel hypoplasia being among the most prevalent. Therefore, it is concluded that early identification and treatment are essential to reduce the impact of dentoalveolar traumas. Basic knowledge about the topic, by parents and/or caregivers of the child as well as schools, is also essential for treatment success.
