AB  - BACKGROUND/AIM: Non-suicidal self injury may be a possible etiologic factor for 
      dental trauma in adolescents. The aim of this case report is to present a case of 
      non-suicidal self injury resulting in dental trauma in a 16 year old adolescent 
      boy. CASE REPORT: This report illustrates a case of non-suicidal self injury in a 
      16 year old healthy boy with resultant trauma to the maxillary central incisors 
      and the left lateral incisor (teeth 11, 21, and 22). Three tests were applied; 
      Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence() (WASI), Inventory of Statements 
      about Self Injury (ISAS), and UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale (UPPS); to assess the 
      patient's intellectual and behavioral functioning. Dental treatment was rendered 
      in the form of composite restorations on teeth 11, 21, and 22. RESULTS AND 
      DISCUSSION: The patient had a general intelligence quotient (IQ) of 92 (SD = 
      10.9), verbal score of 86.6 (SD = 14.6), and performance IQ of 93.4 (SD = 23.66) 
      which implied that the intelligence levels were well within the normal range. The 
      patient demonstrated self hitting behavior and predominantly intrapersonal 
      functions of his NSSI on testing with the ISAS scale and elevated urgency scores 
      on the UPPS scale. The total UPPS score was 115.9 and urgency score was 35.9. 
      NSSI was an outlet for negative emotions and to release self directed anger. This 
      resulted in dental trauma to teeth 11, 21, and 22. CONCLUSION: NSSI may be an 
      etiologic or risk factor for dental trauma in intellectually normal adolescents 
      as seen in the present case. Self hitting, intrapersonal factors or self directed 
      factors and impulsivity are more likely to predispose an adolescent toward 
      performance of such behavior.
