Lilani E et al. - A total of 197 children aged between 2 and 17 years had sought treatment for 304 traumatized teeth. Half of the patients had sought treatment more than 1 month after the trauma occurred. The most frequent cause for dental trauma was a fall (89%) whilst compromised aesthetics was the most common reason for seeking care (48%). Maxillary central incisors were the most affected teeth. Of the permanent teeth, 49% had sustained uncomplicated fractures involving only the enamel and dentine. Pulp therapy ranging from pulpotomy to root canal treatment was the treatment of choice for most of the traumatized permanent teeth (46%).
