Pak Oral Dental J Jan ;23(2):153-6.

A study was carried out on 13-year-old school children in three different zones (Town /Hayatabad, Cantt., City) of Peshawar city to determine the frequency of incisor fractures. Both maxillary and mandibular incisors were included in the study. Out of 300 children examined (150 Males and 150 Females) only 09 children (05 Males and 04 Females) had fractured their incisors (3%). There was a gradual decrease in the frequency of incisor fractures from zone-1 (Town l Hayatabad) to zone-3 (City). No significant difference was recorded in the frequency of incisor fractures between boys and girls. All of the 09 children had fractured their maxillary central incisors and all of them reported fall to be the cause of the fracture. Visually apparent labioaersion (not measured) was found to have no effect on frequency of incisor fractures.
