Trends in accident-related traumatic dental injuries among children: a 10-year retrospective study of patients attending a university clinic.
Observational study in Clinical oral investigations, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study aimed to analyze accident-related traumatic dental injury (TDI) data to determine the occurrence, characteristics, and types of dental injuries in primary and permanent dentitions of underage patients attending a university clinic. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective observational study was conducted at the Clinic of Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry of Zurich from 2010 to 2019 and involved children with accident-related TDIs from the ages of 0 to 18 years old. Data regarding patient- and trauma-related characteristics were extracted and analyzed statistically according to dentition, tooth, age, sex, and time elapsed before visiting the dentist at 5%.
resultsThe sample included 1,291 TDIs seen in a sample predominantly comprised of boys (59.8%), with a median age of 3.0 years (interquartile range 1.8-7.1 years), mostly in the deciduous dentition (71.6%) with ≥ 1 TDIs between 2010 and 2019. Accidents mainly occurred at home (45.6%) or outdoors (30.3%) and were primarily the result of falls (37.2%) or playtime (29.5%). Affected children often visited the dentist within the first 24 h (77.1%). Deciduous teeth (51.9%) and permanent teeth (37.2%; p = 0.001) primarily exhibited injuries to the periodontal tissue.
conclusionThis study found boys were more prone to TDI than girls. Significant differences were seen in the injury mechanisms between deciduous and permanent teeth. Moreover, injuries to the periodontal tissue, with or without tooth fractures, were the most common trauma found. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Gaining insights into TDI patterns over time can help clinical practitioners develop more effective prevention measures.
