[Epidemiology of dental trauma in Denmark: overview and some new points of information].

It is virtually impossible to compare the results of the many studies of traumatic dental injuries, primarily because information is lacking or inaccurate. Another reason, however, is that the basic materials differ substantially. Most studies are based on special groups comprising trauma patients exclusively, and furthermore these are often selected patients, although this fact is not always made clear. In recent years a number of Danish studies have attempted to examine the trauma problem on a population basis. The results of these studies are discussed, a few new results are added and attention is pointed out to problems needing further investigation.

[Intrusion of primary teeth: case reports].

Three cases of intrusion of primary teeth are described. In all cases the intruded primary tooth was left without treatment and the tooth did not re-erupt. After eruption of the succedaneous permanent tooth the primary tooth was surgically removed. There was damage to the permanent tooth in two of the three cases.

A radiographic study of mineralization of permanent teeth in a group of children aged 3-7 years.

The purpose of the present study was, by using a standardized radiographic technique, to assess the time of selected mineralization stages of all permanent teeth except the second and third molars in a group of 580 children aged 3-7 years. A complete radiographic examination, consisting of nine intraoral films, was made of each child, using Eggen's film holder. According to degree, mineralization of the teeth was subdivided into nine stages. The cap relation between the two variables, mineralization stage and chronologic age, was calculated by linear regression analysis. The hypothesis of the present study, that linearity exists between the two variables, was confirmed within and close to the investigated age group.

Developmental disturbances in permanent teeth after intrusion of their primary predecessors.

The frequency and type of developmental disturbances in the permanent teeth in relation to the child's age at the time of injury were examined in 78 patients with 100 intruded primary incisors. The central incisors were found to be the most frequently affected teeth. Only maxillary teeth were involved. The dominating age group was 1-3 years and intrusion was seldom seen after the age of 4 years. The frequency of disturbed normal development of the permanent teeth was 54%. In eight cases the intruded teeth were removed immediately, 86 teeth reerupted, and six teeth did not reerupt. Internal white enamel hypoplasia was seen frequently; external hypoplasia, seldom.

Sucking habits and occlusion in 3-year-old children.

The material for the present study comprises plaster models of 310 Copenhagen children, impressions for which were taken during the month each child attained the age of 3 years. The occlusion was related to information concerning the child's sucking habits up to the time of the study. The effect of sucking habits of sagittal occlusion was observed in the canine region and the molar region. A higher proportion of distal canine relationships was recorded in children who continued to suck dummies at the age of 3 years than among finger-suckers of children who have never sucked. In primary second molar region no significant difference was recorded between the various sucking groups. The open bite is clearly dominant among children who persist with a sucking habit.

Occlusion in the primary dentition in 3-year-old children.

The material for the present study comprises plaster models of 310 Copenhagen children, impressions for which were taken during the month each child attained the age of 3 years. On the basis of fixed criteria a description is given of individual symptoms of occlusion. Using the primary canines as the guide to occlusion it was found that the same occlusion at both sides occurs in 79.7% of the overall total, the remaining 20.3% having different occlusion at each side. Approximately one-half recorded neutral occlusion at both sides, and one-third had distal occlusion at both sides. The termination pattern of the dental arches in centric occlusion were normal or straight in 68.0% and bilateral distal in 14.8%. In 82 subjects or 27% of the degree of overlapping was greater than or equal to half the height of the mandibular central incisors. The number of cross-bites constituted 11.6% of all subjects. Assessment of spacing was undertaken exclusively on the basis of whether or not a space existed. About 3.5% of all subjects had close contact between all teeth in the maxilla or crowding, and about 24% had spacing between all teeth in the maxilla. In the mandible about 5% had close contact between the teeth and only 15% had spacing between all teeth in the mandible.
