An investigation on some epidemiologic factors in children with traumatized anterior teeth was carried out on 6090 Iraqis and 3507 Sudanese primary schoolchildren. There were no significant differences found between Iraqi males and females as to the cause of trauma. In the Sudanese the rate of accidents due to more aggressive actions were significantly higher in boys. The place of trauma being inside or outside the school was also investigated and it was found that accidents occurred significantly more outside school than inside in all the age groups in both countries.
