Review of literature regarding frequency of traumatic injuries of primary teeth, types of injuries, therapy and possible consequences in permanent dentition. The diagram of prevalence shows no direct correlation to age, whereas according to diagram of incidence 70% of injuries occur in the second and third years of life. Injuries without dislocation of the deciduous tooth: fractura coronae dentis decidui, contusio seu concussio dentis decidui, fractura radicis decidui. Injuries with dislocation: luxatio totalis dentis decidui, luxatio partialis dentis decidui, intrusio dentis decidui. Consequences of traumas can be detected in disturbances of second dentition, in developmental anomalies of enamel and in considerable deformities of homologous permanent tooth.
