ABSTRACT
Objective The purpose of this study is to identify the
prevalence of uncomplicated and complicated crown fracture in permanent teeth.
Study Design: Cross-Sectional
Place and Duration: Nishter Institute of
Dentistry, Multan between 2018-2020.
Methods: There were 359 patients of both genders were
presented with 525 permanent teeth. Patients were aged between 7–12 years.
Patients detailed demographics age, sex, type of damage sustained, presence or
absence of class II Div 1 were recorded after taking informed written consent
from the authority. CPI probe was used to measure the degree of overjet as
described by the 1997 WHO Basic Oral Health Survey Guidelines. Prevalence of
complicated and uncomplicated crown fracture was calculated among traumatic
dental injuries. Complete data was analyzed by SPSS 24.0 version.
Results: Majority of the patient was male 200 (55.7%)
were males and 159 (46.3%) were females. Mean age of the patients were 8.64
±12.37 years. Falling was the most common cause of injury found in 195 (54.3%)
cases followed by sports 110 (31.6%), RTA was found in 30 (8.4%) and physical
violence in 24 (6.7%). Class II div 1 was present among 149 (34.2%) cases. Frequency of crown fracture was found among
43 (11.98%) cases in which complicated crown fractures were 16 (4.5%) cases and
the rest 27 (7.5%) were uncomplicated crown fractures. Among 43 cases of crown
fractures majority of the cases were males 27 (62.8%).
Conclusion: We concluded in this study
that the prevalence of crown fracture among TDI was 11.98% and majority among
them was uncomplicated crown fractures. Preventive interventions are needed because
of the high incidence of oral trauma. There needs to be a greater awareness
among parents and children about the dangers of mouth trauma.
