ABSTRACT
Dental trauma is a public health problem because of its high prevalence rates and treatment costs and for affecting mainly younger individuals. Aim:
This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the variables associated with dental trauma and its influence on oral health-related quality of life among 7th-grade students of public elementary schools.Methods:
The data was collected with semi-structured and self-administered questionnaires and an intraoral clinical examination (n = 204). The variables collected regarded dental trauma, lip coverage, overjet, oral health-related quality of life (Child Perceptions Questionnaire - CPQ11-14 ISF 8), and sociodemographic profile. Association tests and the Mann-Whitney test were performed at a 5% significance level.Results:
Dental trauma occurred in 12.3% of students, 94.6% had adequate lip coverage, and the mean overjet was 2.7 mm (±2.0). Sex was the only variable with a statistically significant association with dental trauma (p = 0.021). There was no statistically significant difference in the CPQ11-14 ISF 8 score between students with and without dental trauma (p = 0.136).Conclusions:
Dental trauma was significantly associated with sex and did not impact the oral health-related quality of life of the studentsAsunto(s)
