Traumatic Dental Injuries are a prevalent concern in pediatric dentistry, commonly resulting from falls, sports activities and accidents. These injuries can affect both primary and permanent dentition, with the maxillary anterior teeth being most frequently involved due to their prominent position. TDIs range in severity from enamel fractures to luxation and avulsion injuries, each requiring a specific diagnostic and therapeutic approach. Prompt and accurate management is critical to preserve pulp vitality, prevent infection and maintain long term health and function of the affected teeth. In children, special consideration must be given to the developmental stage of the dentition and the emotional impact of trauma. Preventive strategies, including the use of mouthguards and patient education, play a vital role in reducing the incidence and consequences of dental trauma in the pediatric population.
