ABSTRACT
The World Health Organization recognizes child injuries as a major threat to child health. Traumatic Dental Injury (TDI) is a public dental health problem because of its frequency, occurrence at a young age, related complications (eg. orofacial infection, tooth loss, tooth eruption disturbances) and associated costs, since it may become a lifelasting condition. This injuries may compromise oral function, facial aesthetics, speech, dental occlusion and the child’s self-esteem (Glendor, 2008) (Casey et al., 2010).
