    Multiple risk factors have been identified for traumatic dental injuries, including crown fractures, in various age groups and various populations. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence, risk factors and family related factors for crown trauma among 8 to 16 year-old children in a suburban population, Nigeria.

    Prevalence and family structures related factors associated with crown trauma in school children resident in suburban Nigeria.

    Multiple risk factors have been identified for traumatic dental injuries, including crown fractures, in various age groups and various populations. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence, risk factors, and family-related factors for crown trauma among 8 to 16-year-old children in a suburban population, in Nigeria. This is a secondary analysis of data from 2107 children collected through a school-based survey. The study participants were 8 to 16-year-old residents in suburban Nigeria. The independent variables for the study were age, sex, socioeconomic status, birth rank, family size, and parenting status (one parent, step-parent, both parents, and guardians). Details were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. An intraoral examination was conducted to identify the presence of a crown fracture. The independent variables associated with and predictors of crown trauma were determined using chi-square and logistic regression analysis respectively. Only 167 (7.9 %) of the 2107 study participants had crown trauma. The prevalence of crown trauma in the teeth level was 0.33 %. Children with middle socioeconomic status had reduced odds of having crown trauma when compared with children with low socioeconomic status (AOR 0.50; CI 0.32–0.80). The odds of having crown trauma was more than doubled in males when compared with females (AOR 2.41; CI 1.72–3.39) and almost doubled in children living with single parents when compared with children living with both parents (AOR 1.94; CI 1.29–3.05). The prevalence of crown trauma was low in this study population. Being a female and having a low socioeconomic status significantly reduced the risk factors for crown trauma while living with single parents increased the risk for crown trauma.
