The aesthetics of the mouth are important in determining overall facial attractiveness. People with a relatively normal dental appearance are perceived as more attractive, more intelligent and more desirable as friends. Although the oral region comprises only 1% of the body area it accounts for 5% of all bodily injuries, and of facial injuries, dental injuries are the most common. A US survey among people aged 6-50 years showed that 1 in 4 had evidence of dental trauma.

TLDR
Tooth loss prognosis following complex dentoalveolar trauma is related to the clinical features of the fracture, particularly the status of the alveolar socket and the possibility of using splinting as treatment.

Prognosis of permanent teeth in the line of mandibular fractures.
TLDR
A total of 45 mandibular fracture patients with 54 teeth in the fracture line were evaluated retrospectively, and pulp necrosis was found more frequently in the older patients and in cases in which the time elapsing between the injury and the follow-up was longer.

Traumatic oral vs non-oral injuries.
TLDR
The study reveals substantial differences between oral and non-oral injuries with regard to age-groups, site of injury, and injury mechanism and stresses the importance of including oral injuries to achieve a high validity in body injury surveillance systems.

TLDR
The first national overall and age-specific population-based prevalence of injury to incisor teeth among individuals ages 6–50 is reported and differences in the prevalence of dental trauma among gender, racial, and ethnic groups are examined.
Incidence of traumatic tooth injuries in children and adolescents in the county of Västmanland, Sweden.
TLDR
