Area Of Science
- Dental Traumatology
- Public Health
- Epidemiology
Background
- Traumatic dental injuries (TDI) represent a significant public health concern.
- Understanding the prevalence of TDI is crucial for developing targeted prevention and treatment strategies.
Purpose Of The Study
- To estimate the prevalence of TDI in the Spanish population.
- To identify demographic and setting-specific differences in TDI prevalence.
- To provide a foundation for future standardized research on TDI in Spain.
Main Methods
- Systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.
- Searched multiple databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, etc.) and gray literature.
- Assessed methodological quality using JBI tool and followed PRISMA guidelines.
Main Results
- Overall estimated prevalence of TDI in Spain is 9.94%.
- Higher prevalence observed in males (10.5%) versus females (5.7%) and children (11.1%) versus adolescents (6.1%).
- Fractures were the most common TDI type (56.5%), with significant study heterogeneity noted.
Conclusions
- This is the first study to estimate TDI prevalence in Spain.
- Highlights the need for standardized diagnostic and reporting methods for TDI.
- Acknowledges limitations including high heterogeneity and lack of standardization in included studies.
