Purpose: To determine the prevalence of dental trauma from the database of “Carlos Ardila Lulle” Hospital, from Floridablanca - Colombia, in people that attended emergency room service from 1998 until 2002.
Material and methods: An observational methodology (descriptive-retrospective), 1235 medical cards were analyzed in patients who came to emergency room service, by diagnostic classification of diseases and mortality causes (CIE), nineth edition from 1975; with 873.6, 873.7 and 959.0 codes, related to dental trauma.
Results: Medical cards from 1998 until 2002 were analyzed. A prevalence of 45.7% of Dental Trauma was found with affected teeth. There was higher frequency among male than female. Car accidents are the highest number of events of dental trauma.
Conclusions: It is important to highlight that most of Dental Trauma events were diagnosed by the physician, and only in severe cases they were remitted to consultation with the maxilofacial surgeon. Validation of endodontics was not to value. 99.14% of the events were assisted by some insurance type, being the “EPS” the most used one.
