Dental traumas in pediatric patients represent 18% of all injuries and that is due to the activities of children, and they occur more frequently when they learn to crawl, walk or run.
The lesions can compromise dental tissue (enamel, dentin, root), dental pulp, alveolar bone, and periodontal ligaments. Soft tissues such as lips and cheeks are also included.
