Race and ethnicity
The relationship between dental trauma and race and
ethnicity is obscure. Ethnic minorities tend to experience
more financial adversities and live in more deprived
areas, making it difficult to disentangle the effects of
these factors. Only a few studies have recorded the race
and ethnicity of the individuals studied. In one study,
however, a similar prevalence of dental trauma was
noted in various race-ethnicity categories in the USA
