Abstract

Injuries due to dental trauma refer the traumatic impact to teeth or adjacent structures and it becomes a functional and aesthetic problem afterwards. Adolescents and young people are considered risk groups for dental trauma due to changes in consumption habits, activities and psychosocial behavior, many of them involved in unsafe environments. Young people at risk of social exclusion in León, Nicaragua have a prevalence of substance use between 30-70% and are subject to intervention in mental health and addictions for their well-being and social reintegration.

This study aims to identify risk factors related to dental trauma, through a retrospective study of cases and controls, 77 cases with dental trauma injuries and 154 controls from the same group were captured. Descriptive and analytical analysis was carried out. The group with the highest prevalence of dental trauma were young people between 19-24 years old and it was higher in men than in women (RP=4.12 p 0.024), the etiology was common accident (42%), followed by of physical violence (36%); most of the teeth involved were anterior teeth with involvement of a dental piece. The older age group (young people) was a predictive factor for presenting injury due to dental trauma.
