Retrospective study on 1231 children (687 boys) aged 1- 6 years. Age, gender, affected teeth, type of injury, aetiology, place of occurrence and treatment were registered. Results. 162 (13.16%) children, of which 89 (54.94%) boys had TDI. Mean number of affected teeth=1.48 (boys=1.57, girls=1.37, NS). 72.84% of children with TDI were aged 1-3 years. Central incisors were the most affected (82.08%). Falling was the most common etiology (86.41%), 54.90% of incidents occurred inside. The most frequent types of injury were subluxation (20%) and lateral luxation (19.58%). The most common treatment method was”monitor only” (57.08%). Conclusions.
