Traumatic injuries are common dental problems in pediatric dentistry that may influence the children's quality of life.
the aim of this study is to assess the impact of traumatic dental injuries (TDI) and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among Egyptian schoolchildren aged 11-14 years.
A cross-sectional study was carried out involving a sample of 11700 schoolchildren from public and private schools of Mansoura city, Egypt. OHRQoL was assessed using Child Perceptions Questionnaire. Clinical examination included the presence and type of TDI, malocclusion status, and dental caries in anterior teeth (decayed, missing, and filled teeth).
The prevalence of TDI was 13.6%. Untreated TDI was more likely to have a negative impact on the children's daily living regarding pain, functional, emotional, and social aspect than treated injuries and control children. Pearson's correlation test indicated significant association between trauma and malocclusion and dental caries.
Untreated dental injury has a negative impact on quality of life regarding social, functional, and emotional aspects. However, treated injured teeth appear to improve social and emotional aspects of the OHRQoL of school children, whereas functional limitations may continue because of the pulpal and periodontal effects of the injury.
创伤性损伤是儿童牙科中常见的牙齿问题，可能会影响儿童的生活质量。
本研究的目的是评估埃及11至14岁学龄儿童中创伤性牙齿损伤（TDI）和口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）的影响。
进行了一项横断面研究，样本包括来自埃及曼苏拉市公立和私立学校的11700名学龄儿童。使用儿童感知问卷评估OHRQoL。临床检查包括TDI的存在情况和类型、错牙合状况以及前牙龋齿情况（龋坏、缺失和充填牙）。
TDI的患病率为13.6%。与接受治疗的损伤儿童和对照儿童相比，未经治疗的TDI在疼痛、功能、情感和社会方面对儿童的日常生活更有可能产生负面影响。Pearson相关性检验表明创伤与错牙合和龋齿之间存在显著关联。
未经治疗的牙齿损伤在社会、功能和情感方面对生活质量有负面影响。然而，接受治疗的受伤牙齿似乎改善了学龄儿童OHRQoL的社会和情感方面，而由于损伤的牙髓和牙周影响，功能限制可能仍然存在。
