Abstract：Epidemiology of traumatic dental injuries ( TDIs) indicates that these injuries are more prevalent in child. TDIs have significant negative influence on the esthetic, speech and psychology of children. Different types of tooth fracture should be treated with different measures and may have different prognosis. Although tooth fracture is not the most severe form of TDIs with respect to other types of traumatic injuries, the delayed care following a traumatic in-jury and the suboptimal management may compromise long-term outcomes. It is important to take timely and appropri-ate treatment for tooth fracture. This article mainly reviews the classification, management and prognosis of tooth frac-ture in primary and permanent teeth in light of the recent literature.
