The studied population was formed by 116 male and female children aged 3-11 years. The Ingeborg Jacobsen classification was used for determining the kind of lesions. Data obtained from the inquiry and physical examination, are filled in a form elaborated for that. Outcomes: dental traumatisms are more frequent in the 6-11 years age group (59.5 %), and in male children (67.3 %); there is a predominance of the no complicated crown fracture (26.7 %); parents gave the first aids (67.3 %) and the time from trauma to the beginning of the treatment was more than 24 hours in 48.3 % of the cases. Conclusions: more than half of the population showed dental trauma, with a predominance of the 6-11 ages year group and male gender.
