There were significant differences between permanent and deciduous teeth with regard to uncomplicated and complicated crown fracture rate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. The root fractures were mostly located at the apical third of the root in both dentitions. Conclusion: TDI was associated with age, gender, and type of dental trauma.
