Authors from the Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine recently published a study, “Pediatric Traumatic Dental Injuries in Rural Pennsylvania: a 9-Year Retrospective Review.” The study included reviewing health records of 268 pediatric dental patients ages 6 months to 17 years who presented at the emergency department at Geisinger Medical center between July 2010 and July 2019 with traumatic dental injuries (TDIs). The results showed that TDIs were more common in male patients and were most likely to present during summer months. The most common injuries occurred outdoors and were caused by sporting activities.
