title: [Incidence of injuries to deciduous teeth].
abstract: An analysis of 191 primary incisors damaged by acute mechanical trauma on 108 children, ranging in age from 2 to 6 years, has showed that most of the patients were between 2 and 3 years of age (67%) when the accidents occurred. According to this clinical study the most frequent type of injury was partial luxation (42.93%). In 53.7% of cases the accident involved two teeth. The upper central primary incisors were damaged most frequently (82%). The ratio of boys to girls was 3:2.
