A descriptive, longitudinal and retrospective research was carried out including children from 7 to 14 years old belonging to the health area of "Guama" Dental University Clinic in Pinar del Rio Municipality, from February 2003 to March 2005 aimed at determining the presence of dental-maxillary-facial anomalies in permanent teeth and the relation to traumas in early childhood. The universe of the research was comprised of 250 children and of them a sample of 60 children was chosen, giving them a form to collect data for the research. Results obtained were statistically processed through the STATISTIC automatic system and the chi-squared test in its application of kindness-adjustment and SPSS package for the proportion and comparison tests. In all cases 0, 05 was the level of significance pre-fixed. Among the most significant global results obtained, those traumas occurring between 5-6 years of age caused the greater number of dental-maxillary-facial anomalies in permanent teeth. Male sex presented the traumas that most affected permanent teeth directly. The most frequent were the hypoplasia of the enamel and other non-orthodontic entities; female sex had a greater psychosocial implication due to these anomalies. Orientations to dentists, parents and teachers were given about the relation among traumas and dental-maxillary-facial anomalies in permanent teeth.
