The accidental trauma of the teeth is considered a oro-dental disease and may be one of the most dramatic accidents happening to people; its frequency in the dentist clinic increases every day. With the purpose of identifying the frequency of the dental trauma in teenagers with permanent dentition, we developed an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, which universe was formed by 1 065 students of the junior high schools Heroes del Moncada and Armando Mestre, of the health area Milanés, Matanzas city, in the school year 2008-2009. A total of 187 students aged from 10 to 15 years were affected for some dental trauma. The results allowed identifying that the male gender and the age group 14-15 years were the most represented ones (35,8 %); the most affected by trauma teeth were the 11 and the 21 ones, and the most traumatic lesion found was the non-complicated crown fracture (26,2 %).Downloads
