Abstract

The dentoalveolar trauma (DAT) becomes a public health problem due to its significant incidence and the future severe sequalae. A cross-sectional, retrospective and descriptive study was conducted to determine the behavior of DATs in pupils of urban basic secondary schools of Artemisa municipality from January to June, 2008. Sample includes 2 684 pupils and from these, 309 were the real sample who was affected by some kind of DAT. In this group the following variables were registered: school, age, sex, DAT etiology, period of DAT, involved arch, involved tooth and the kind of lesion. For data collection, we designed a form and these were statistically processed by Excel system (INSTAT). Results were showed in tables and charts. We conclude that from the total of pupils examined; only the 11.5% was affected with a DAT homogenous behavior in the four basic secondary schools. In distribution by sex, almost the ¾ was of male sex and the age interval with higher involvement was of 11-12. The leading cause of DAT was the teeth loss and the great percentage of DAT total occurred during vacations period. The superior arch was the more sensitive to DATs and the central teeth were the more involved. The coronary tissue loss accounted for more half of lesions produced by DATs.
