Background/Aim: Knowledge about the spatial density of the domiciles of dental trauma victims can assist in the identification of the most vulnerable areas and contribute to the planning of prevention, promotion, control, and treatment actions, focusing on the most affected areas. The aim of this study was to analyze the spatialdensity of domiciles of 14-year-old adolescent victims of dental trauma, in the city of Diamantina, Brazil, after a two-year follow-up period. Material and Methods: This longitudinal study was carried out with 584 adolescents between 2013 and 2015. Dental trauma, overjet, and lip protection were as-sessed by two trained and calibrated examiners (K > 0.70). Information about bingedrinking was collected among the adolescents through the Alcohol Use DisordersIdentification Test and sociodemographic indicators were obtained through a ques-tionnaire answered by the caregivers of the adolescents. Spatial analyses were per-formed to evaluate the spatial density of adolescents with dental trauma and theindependent variables of interest according to the domicile using Ripley's K functionand the Kernel Map.Results: Ripley's K function revealed spatial aggregation of the domiciles of adolescent victims of dental trauma in relation to males, binge drinking and overjet, with aconfidence interval of 95%. The higher density of domiciles with adolescents withtwo or more traumatized teeth was found in the north-east region of the city. Boyswere the most affected, their homes were located in the north, north-west, andsouth-east regions at baseline and follow-up. The largest density of domiciles of ado-lescents with overjet greater than 5 mm and inadequate lip protection was in thenorth-east region. Similar spatial distribution was identified for binge drinking forboth years. Conclusion: The majority of adolescents with dental trauma lived in the north-eastand south-east regions, characterized by high population density and greater socialvulnerability.
