Large Overjet as a risk factor of traumatic dental injuries: a prospective longitudinal study.
Progress in orthodontics, 2020Co-Authors: J. P. Schatz, Enrico Ostini, Magnus Hakeberg, Stavros KiliaridisAbstract:Purpose The aim of this longitudinal prospective study was to evaluate if schoolchildren with large Overjet experience a greater risk of traumatic dental injuries (TDI) compared to children with normal or small Overjet. Methods A sample of children aged 6‑13 years was prospectively evaluated after 1 year: from the initial sample, data concerning trauma cases of 1413 children were collected to determine the number and types of injuries, the influence of Overjet on the risk of TDI, and the relationships between trauma, age, and gender. Results The observed prevalence of trauma was higher for boys, with the largest frequency between the ages of 8 to 12 years: 67.9% of all injuries were hard tissue injuries and 32.1% subluxation and luxation injuries. Children with an Overjet of 6 mm or more showed a statistically increased risk of getting trauma [RR = 3.37 with CI (1.81; 6.27)]. Conclusion In this prospective study, Overjet stood out among variables as the most significant risk factor of TDI: an increased Overjet of 6 mm or more had a major impact on the risk of trauma, which would speak in favor of early orthodontic correction of an increased Overjet to reduce the prevalence of dental trauma.

Prevalence of traumatic injuries to permanent dentition and its association with Overjet in a Swiss child population
Dental traumatology : official publication of International Association for Dental Traumatology, 2012Co-Authors: J. P. Schatz, Enrico Ostini, Magnus Hakeberg, Stavros KiliaridisAbstract:OBJECTIVE: Dental trauma is a very common issue in dentistry and its occurrence has been related to many factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of traumatic dental injuries in the permanent dentition among Swiss children and its association with Overjet. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A sample of 1900 children aged 6-13 years was prospectively evaluated to determine the number and types of injuries, the influence of Overjet on the risk of suffering trauma and the relationships between trauma, age, gender and life conditions. RESULTS: The observed prevalence of trauma was higher for boys, with a slight risk increase with age and a peak frequency at the age of 10 years. Most of the injuries (91.2%) involved the upper front teeth; 87.2% of all injuries were hard tissue injuries (enamel or dentin fractures), and 12.8% only subluxation and luxation injuries. Children with an Overjet of 6 mm or more had a four times higher risk of suffering trauma, compared with those with less Overjet. CONCLUSION: This cross-sectional study confirmed most of the results from earlier studies dealing with epidemiological factors of dental injuries to the permanent dentition. Of all the variables analysed, Overjet stood out as the most significant risk factor: an increased Overjet of 6 mm or more had a major impact on the risk of trauma, which would speak in favour of early orthodontic correction of an increased Overjet to reduce the prevalence of dental trauma.

Children with Overjets of over 3mm are at higher risk of dental trauma
Evidence-Based Dentistry, 2000Co-Authors: Nigel A FoxAbstract:Objective: To aggregate the risk of traumatic dental injury caused by Overjet. Data sources: Medline (1966–1996) Excerpta Medica (1985–1996) using keywords malocclusion, Overjet, trauma, fractured teeth, injuries, epidemiology as well as references of identified articles. Study selection: The authors included studies concerned with the relationship between Overjet size (in millimetres) and traumatic injuries to teeth; those considering only prevalence were excluded. Quality assessment of included studies was carried out. Data extraction and synthesis A 2×2 table was constructed relating Overjet size and trauma for each study and odds ratio calculated. Cut-off points for Overjets were 3 mm and less, more than 3 mm and 6 mm or more on the basis of data presented in studies. Results: Eleven studies were included. Pooled odds ratios for all studies of Overjet of 3 mm and less versus 3 mm or more showed significant heterogeneity, and therefore a sensitivity analysis was performed (see table). Conclusions: Children with an Overjet greater than 3 mm are at approximately twice as high risk of dental trauma as those with an Overjet of less than 3 mm.
