About this study

Official title: Trauma to Permanent Incisors and Overjet in Libyan Children

Traumatic dental injuries are one of the commonly encountered dental emergencies. Missing anterior tooth in children due to any injury can be a source of considerable physical and psychological discomfort for the child. These consequences also have significant impact on parents, who are generally concerned with esthetic and economic aspects of this problem. It varies from small crack in the enamel to complete loss of the tooth. Injury to children teeth can be both painful and traumatic to the children

Read the detailed description

Traumatic injuries to anterior teeth have reported by several investigators. In Asia and Africa, the prevalence of TDI to anterior teeth among adolescents ranges from 4% to 35% and 15% to 21%, respectively and in America and Europe, the prevalence varied from 15% to 23% and 23% to 35%, respectively . 50% of school children have sustained traumatic injuries prior to graduation . A contributing factors make children susceptible to injuries have been widely investigated. These factors included Class-II, div.1 malocclusion, increased overjet . 71% to 92% of all injuries sustained in a lifetime occur before the age of 19 years, which occur at home, followed by school and public places.The aim of this study is to assess the mean overjet value in Libyan children and to examine the relationship between increased overjet and trauma to permanent incisor teeth
