Time elapsed between trauma and treatment greatly influences the prognosis of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs). The aim of this study was to analyze clinical and radiographic findings related to complications of TDIs among patients seeking delayed treatment of such injuries. Materials and Methods. 123 permanent teeth with a history of previous TDIs were included in the study. Clinical findings analyzed were the type of fracture, type and number of injured teeth, crown discoloration, and pulpal status of the injured tooth (pulpal diagnosis). The radiographic findings analyzed included pulp canal obliteration (PCO), root resorption (RR), and periapical radiolucency (PR). Statistical analysis included descriptive analysis. Results. Tooth discoloration was the most common presenting complaint (53.65%), while fall (48.78%) was the most frequent cause of trauma. The range of time duration between trauma and presentation for treatment was 5 months to 30 years (average time 12.82 years). Pulp necrosis (PN) was the most common complication (90.24%). Almost half of the teeth with PN had fracture injury and discoloration along with a high frequency of PR (78.37%). Even teeth with a normal appearance were found to have a high incidence of PN (76.92%) and PR (53.84%). The crown discoloration was the second most frequent finding (48.78%). Many teeth (41.66%) with vital pulp were also discolored. Most of the teeth (79.31%) with yellowish discoloration and all teeth with brownish discoloration were nonvital. A high frequency of PN (90%) and PR (78.33%) was found in teeth with discoloration. PR was the most common radiographic finding (69.10%), while PCO and RR were observed in 17.88% and 21.13% of teeth, respectively. Conclusion. The findings of this study support the fact that delayed treatment of TDIs leads to increased complications. PN was the most common complication followed by tooth discoloration, RR, and PCO among patients seeking delayed treatment after TDIs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/9549508","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,23]],"date-time":"2021-08-23T16:05:27Z","timestamp":1629734727000},"page":"1-8","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Evaluation of Clinical and Radiographic Findings among Patients with Traumatic Dental Injuries Seeking Delayed Treatment"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0586-0582","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sanjeeb","family":"Chaudhary","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, School of Dental Sciences, Chitwan Medical College, Bharatpur-10, Chitwan, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0797-7493","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Harender","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, School of Dental Sciences, Chitwan Medical College, Bharatpur-10, Chitwan, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4716-7708","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Archana","family":"Gharti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, People\u2019s Dental College and Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3660-0388","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Bhawana","family":"Adhikari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, KIST Medical College, Lalitpur, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/adj.12395"},{"key":"2","first-page":"109","article-title":"Analysis of the crown fractures and factors affecting pulp survival due to dental trauma","volume":"12","author":"I.
