PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify characteristics of hospital-based @entity341 ( @entity341 ) visits for @entity174 and subsequent dentally related hospital admissions. METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project for the years 2008 to 2010. All @entity1 up to 21 years old, with a diagnosis of @entity174 due to @entity130 , were selected. Hospital @entity341 charges, occurrence of concurrent injuries, and hospitalization following @entity341 visits were examined. RESULTS: A total of 199,061 @entity341 visits were attributed to broken or fractured teeth; males comprised 63 percent of @entity341 visits. Skull and @entity174 were present in seven percent and @entity1504 in four percent of @entity341 visits. The most frequent causes for @entity341 visits and for subsequent hospitalization, respectively, were falls and motor vehicle accidents. The mean charge for each @entity341 visit was  1,441. Total charges for the entire United States were  241.8 million. Following an @entity341 visit, 7,233 @entity1 were admitted as inpatients. CONCLUSIONS: Males comprised a majority of these @entity341 visits. Occurrence of concomitant bodily injuries appears to be common and is a significant predictor of hospitalization and hospital @entity341 charges.
