Abstract
This paper presents the results of a house-by-house survey to learn the occurrence of dental injury to the primary teeth in Brazilian children from ten to seventy-two months of age. The study sample comprised 576 children, 295 boys and 281 girls living on sixty-six streets selected in an urban area (Bauru) in the state of Sao Paul, Brazil. There were 174 children (30.2 percent) with positive reports of injuries to the primary teeth. The results show the need of an educational program in order to prevent the occurrence of dental trauma.Entities:
