Abstract

The purpose of this study was to research the traumatized primary teeth and investigate following factors: sex, age, cause, place and time(of the year) of injury, elapsed time, area and type of injury, dental treatment and prognosis. The analysis includes total of 1533 traumatized primary teeth from 758 children aging from 6 months to 6 years(mean age: 2.8) from 2003 to 2007. The result follows : 1. The children of age between 1-2 and 2-3 were involved in the largest number of injuries in both sexes with boy/girl ratio of 1.77:1(p<0.001). 2. Fall and collision were the main causes of traumatic dental injury, especially in younger children(p<0.05). Places of injury occurrence varied: home, outdoors, and kindergarten. Warm climate accounts for frequent outdoor injuries in May, September and October(p<0.001). 3. Most of the children visited dental clinic within 24 hours of the injury(77.6%). From March to September, dental trauma occurrences were distributed evenly, except for Winter period(p<0.001). 4. Upper central incisors were the most commonly affected teeth, and the injuries usually involved 1 tooth or 2 teeth. 5. Periodontal tissue injuries dominated and subluxation was the most common type. Lateral luxation, enamel fracture, intrusion and root fracture followed.

경희대학교 치과대학병원 소아치과에 2003년 1월 1일부터 2007년 12월 31일까지의 최근 5년간 치아외상을 주소로 내원한 생후 6개월에서 7세 미만(평균 2.8세)의 어린이 758명의 외상 받은 유치 1533개를 대상으로 하였다. 모든 대상자들의 진료기록 및 방사선 사진으로부터 내원한 어린이의 성별, 연령별 발생빈도, 원인, 장소, 외상 후 치료까지의 경과시간, 월별발생률, 발생부위, 치아손상의 개수, 외상의 양상, 초진 시 처치 등을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 유치의 외상은 남아가 여아보다 1.77배 많은 것으로 나타났으며, 남녀 모두 1-2세, 2-3세에 많이 발생하였다(p<0.001). 2. 외상의 주요 원인은 넘어짐, 부딪힘으로 나타났고, 주로 저연령층 어린이에서 두드러지게 나타났다(p<0.05). 외상의 발생장소는 집안, 집밖, 유치원순으로 나타났으며, 특히 기후가 온화한 5월, 9월, 10월에는 집밖의 비율이 높게 나타났다(p<0.001). 3. 외상 후 주로 24시간 이내(77.6%)에 내원하였으며, 월별 치아외상은 겨울을 제외한 3-9월에 고르게 나타났다(p<0.001). 4. 가장 손상을 많이 받은 치아는 상악 유중절치로 나타났으며, 치아손상은 단일치아 또는 두 개의 치아 손상이 주로 나타났다. 5. 치주조직 손상이 치아경조직 손상에 비해 2배정도 많이 발생하였으며, 외상의 양상은 아탈구, 측방탈구, 법랑질파절, 함입, 치근파절 순으로 나타났다.
