Abstract

Objectives
This study aimed to analyze the association between traumatic dental injury (TDI) in the 12 months and related factors using the 19th (2023) Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey data.
Methods
Raw data were obtained from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency website. The dependent variable was the experience of TDI in the past 12 months. The related factors were selected from various factors of demographic characteristics, psychosocial characteristics, injury and safety, and problematic behaviors. Complex sample cross-tabulation and logistic regression analyses were performed according to the data user guidebook.
Results
In 2023, the prevalence of TDI among adolescents was 3.6%. Factors associated with TDI among adolescents included gender, school grade (age), sadness or hopeless, subjective academic achievement, hospital treatment because of injury at school, hospital treatment owing to violence, safety education at school, current drinking status, daily smoking, drug use experience, and vigorous physical activity.
Conclusions
There was a significant association between the experience of TDI and various factors, such as demographic characteristics, psychosocial characteristics, injury and safety, and problematic behaviors, among adolescents. Therefore, this study should be further developed to derive effective intervention measures for TDI among Korean adolescents.
