Background and Objective: Dental trauma is one of the most important problems related to dental health. The present study was conducted to investigate the traumatic dental injuries and the way their treatment was followed in head and neck trauma patients referred to Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Babol.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 81 patients with dental trauma caused by head and neck injury referred to the emergency department of Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Babol from September 2022 to August 2023. Patients were evaluated in terms of age, gender, cause of injury, number of injured permanent teeth, dental injury classification according to Ellis and Sanders classification, and the type of treatment.

For each studied patient, 2.4 teeth were injured and 2.8 dental traumas were observed. The highest prevalence of trauma was seen in the maxillary left central incisor (19.5%). The most common traumas in this study were crown fracture (29%) and subluxation (22.9%). Accident (car occupant) with a prevalence of 22.9%, accident (pedestrian) with a prevalence of 18.6%, and accident (motorcyclist without a helmet) with a prevalence of 17.7% were the most common causes of injury.
