Objectives: This study aimed to understand the characteristics and factors associated with anterior tooth trauma in the case reported in a dental college of Delhi-NCR during the 5 years (2011-2016). Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional analysis of dental records of patients of the age group of patients of age 6-13 years with anterior tooth trauma, reported in 5 years, was done, and injury-related data for permanent dentition was collected. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test(p __ampersandsignlt; 0.05). Results: Ellis Type II (Enamel-dentin) fractures were the most common type (29%), followed by Ellis Class VII (24%). Permanent Maxillary central incisors were the most commonly affected teeth. Only 9% of patients reported within 4 hours of anterior tooth trauma. The prevalence rate was 55% in males and 45% in females with no statistically significant difference. Conclusion: Traumatic dental injuries can adversely affect the physical as well as the psychological growth of children and adolescents. Health promotion and educational policies are needed to provide create awareness at ground level and to motivate patients for immediate intervention.&#13;
