A heuristic evaluation was additionally performed. The secondary aim was to categorize existing mobile applications according to their target users, including general population, dentists, dental students, medical healthcare professionals, and researchers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A systematic search for dental trauma applications (free and paid) was conducted using the AppStore and Google Play store. Two reviewers independently performed data extraction and quality assessment for all the included applications using uMARS and CA\u2010LO\u2010RE. A user experience architect conducted a heuristic evaluation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Only 6 of the 3061 initially screened applications were eligible for qualitative and quantitative assessments. These applications' average star uMARS rating was 12.5 (standard deviation [SD] 2.6). The mean and SD for the uMARS objective items were as follows: A\u2010engagement (mean 12.1 [SD 3.3]), B\u2010functionality (mean 15.5 [SD 1.4]), C\u2010esthetics (mean 9.5 [SD 2.5]), and D\u2010information (mean 13 [SD 4.5]). The severity rating for the heuristic evaluation criteria was low to moderate for all the included applications, excluding tooth emergencies with a high severity score.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Despite moderate quality, functionality, user perception, behavioural impact and usability scores, the inclusion of advanced features to \u201cengagement\u201d and \u201cusability\u201d in existing trauma based apps will enhance their purpose. A design\u2010thinking approach coupled with interactive features is recommended for future mobile applications on TDIs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/edt.12964","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,23]],"date-time":"2024-04-23T12:24:22Z","timestamp":1713875062000},"page":"511-521","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["A systematic search, heuristic evaluation and analysis of dental trauma mobile applications"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8144-7490","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tarun","family":"Walia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Dentistry Ajman University  Ajman United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5847-9662","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.
