The objective of this work was to evaluate the prevalence, the distinguished diagnosis and the etiologic factors related with these injuries. 108 patients, who came to the Unicenp dentistry clinic, have been examined.

For these, specific questionnaires, with approach in the diagnosis and the etiologic causes, have been applied, totalizing 341 teeth affected severely by this injury. There could be observed that the injuries had been more common in women and there was a more direct relation between age and more affected teeth (69%), being directly associated to the bad occlusion (58%) with harmful and parafunction habits (tightening 49% and bruxism 61%).
