description Abstract The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence and severity of traumatic dental injuries of permanent anterior teeth among children in Mosul City, and to find if there is any variation between age and sex groups. A sample of 209 children aged 7–15 years old (112 males and 97 females) was examined using Garcia–Godoy classification in the diagnosis of traumatic dental injuries. The results showed that the upper central incisors were the most commonly injured teeth (60%) followed by the lateral incisors (35%). No case of injured canine was recorded. The lower lateral incisors reported the very little average (1%). The results also showed that the most common type of dental injuries was the simple enamel fracture (43.7%).
