What is Risk Evaluation and Type of Treatment of Multiple Dental Trauma Episodes to Permanent Teeth about?

**Abstract –** Studies have shown that some children and adolescents are effected only once with a dental trauma, while others seem to be accident‐prone and suffer from multiple dental trauma episodes (MDTE). Studies have also shown that dental traumas mostly affect upper permanent and medial incisors. Less is known about treatment consequences related to teeth with repeated dental trauma episodes. The aim was therefore to evaluate the risk of MDTE to permanent teeth among children and adolescents by age and gender and to compare types of dental treatment modalities used for patients with one episode and those with MDTE and with single and repeated traumatized teeth. The study was based on a random sample of 83 Danish 6–18‐year‐old children and adolescents born in 1970 who suffered from dental trauma episodes. All patients were followed during a 12‐year period (1976–1988). Forty‐one of the patients were registered with MDTE with a range of 2–7 episodes and a mean of 2.9 episodes/patient (SD=1.1). The mean age at single and MDTE was 11.4 years (SD=3.6) and 8.6 years (SD=2.1), respectively. No significant differences were found between age at first episode and the number of MDTE per
