Perfil de traumatismo dentário na dentição decídua em pacientes atendidos no Pronto Socorro Odontológico da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia

Abstract

Altough there are prevetion programas for controlling the frequency of dental trauma (DT) and mitigation of its consequecens, the occurrence is still high in the decidous dentition as well as the permanent. The objective of this study was to evaluate the treatment profile of deciduous dental trauma (DDT) performed in the Dental Emergency Room (PSO) of the Uberlandia’s Federal University (UFU). The retrospective study involved the analysis of the dental records in the years of 2015 and 2016, where the data regarding the genre, affected regions/structures, type and management of the trauma were collected. 234 cases of DDT were analysed. The predominent genre was male (62,4%), the age with higher frequency were 3-4 years old (42,3%), the region/structure most affected were the 51/61 set of tooth. The most frequent types of DDT were: subluxation (20,5%), lateral luxation (18,4%), avulsion (14,5%) and enamel fracture (13,2%). Regarding the trauma management, orientation and referral (57,7%) were the most performed conduct followed by extraction (12,0%). The type of trauma was also correlated with the age. The high ocorrence of severe DDT’s and the predominance of the ages of 3 and 4 years old are important data and should be considered for future planning of programs in education, health and prevention of DDT in the city of Uberlandia.
