Among risk factors, dental trauma was significantly associated with male gender ( P < 0.05) while statistically its highly significant association was noted with increase in age, participation in sports activity, incompetent lip seal, and overjet of >3.5 mm ( P < 0.001) [ Table 1 ].
On the contrary, some studies already indicate an increasing trend of dental trauma among girls, because of their increasing participation in sports or activities formerly practiced by boys only.[ 22 , 23 ] Thus, in this study, human behavior like participation in sports activity, irrespective of gender was studied as a risk factor of TDIs.
