Abstract

AIM: The aim of the present study was to explore the epidemiological characteristics and treatment of traumatic dental injuries of primary dentition (TDI-p) in Xi'an, China. MATERIALS: Data of children with TDI-p admitted between January 2018 and December 2019 at the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Xi'an Jiaotong University Stomatology Hospital were retrospectively analysed. The epidemiological distribution characteristics and related treatment information of TDI-p were described. CONCLUSION: Compared with permanent dentition, TDI-p has its particularities, such as type of trauma, treatment procedure, and behavioural management. More attention should be paid to TDI-p by both dentists and guardians.
