Objective: To verify the frequency of care provided at the Dental Trauma Service of the School of Dentistry Piracicaba in the University of Campinas, SP, Brazil (FOP-UNICAMP), from February 2013 to February 2015. Subjects and methods: Data were collected from clinical records used in the service, and the following aspects were assessed: gender, age group, teeth classification, time between trauma and the first care visit, etiology, classification of traumatic dental injury, and procedure performed. Data were analyzed aided by the SAS software and the chi-square test used to verify the presence or absence of significance at level of 5%. Results: Clinical records from 57 patients with 161 traumatized teeth were analyzed; there was higher prevalence of the male gender and age group under 14 years. Central incisors (60.9%) were the most affected teeth. Most patients (56.1%) sought care from 0 to 30 days after trauma. Falls (33.3%) were the most common etiology. The most frequent traumatic dental injuries were crown fractures of enamel and dentin (19.9%) and subluxation (19.3%). Clinical and radiographic examinations (46.6%) were the most performed procedures. Conclusion: The most prevalent findings of care visits were male gender, highest frequency of injuries in age group under 14 years, central incisors as the most affected teeth, period between 0-30 days to seek care, falls as the most common etiology, clinical and radiographic examinations as most performed procedures, and crown fractures of enamel and dentin and subluxation as the most observed injuries.
