The cases were classified according to age, </p> <p>sex, event type and injury type. </p> <p>Findings: It was determined that the average age of the cases was </p> <p>17±12.3, 267 of them (85.6%) were male, the teeth of 157 cases </p> <p>(50.3%) were broken due to battery, and the upper incisor teeth were </p> <p>most frequently broken teeth. A report was drawn up on the fact that </p> <p>the injury "could not be removed with a simple medical intervention" in </p> <p>all cases in the existing application. However, in the application before </p> <p>June 2013, it was determined that the lesion could be removed by a </p> <p>simple medical intervention in 179 (57.4%) cases with crown fracture </p> <p>when lesions outside tooth fractures were ignored, and it could not be </p> <p>removed by a simple medical intervention in 133 (42.6%) cases with </p> <p>root fracture. The men wounded at a young age, it was found that </p> <p>women injured in older age. The most frequent reasons of tooth </p> <p>fracture which has been occurred in men and women are separated. </p> <p>Men’s cases are the most frequent reason is fight and also women’s </p> <p>cases the most frequent is traffic accident. </p> <p>Conclusion: It is shown that the update made in the guide is quite </p> <p>important for tooth injuries. The demographic data of cases were found </p> <p>to be consistent with the literature outside of the origin. However, it is </p> <p>thought that the teeth traumas alleged to have occurred accidentally </p> <p>are not treated as judicial case. The in-service training regarding </p> <p>forensic medicine approach is thought to be useful especially for </p> <p>dentists offering emergency services. </p>}, number={31}, publisher={Hatay Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi}
