Resumo
Injuries resulting from accidents and violence occupy
a key place in the current epidemiological
scenario. The head and face are one of the main
sites of lesions from external causes, especially
dental and oral injuries. This article aims to present
the epidemiological profile of emergency care
for dental and oral lesions from external causes.
The study used data from the Surveillance System
for Violence and Accidents (VIVA) for the years
2006 and 2007. There were a total of 106,075
emergency visits involving external causes, of
which 939 (~1%) presented dental and oral lesions.
There were a majority or large proportions
of males (65.5%), children < 10 years (44.3%),
black individuals (66%), and individuals with
low schooling (45.9%). High proportions of the
injuries occurred at home (48.3%) or on public
byways (30%). Frequent characteristics were cuts
or puncture wounds (63.3%) and lesions resulting
from falls (43%), traffic accidents (19.9%),
and physical assault (13%).
