The severity of a traumatic dental injury (TDI) can influence the prognosis of deciduous teeth and the formation of permanent successors. Consequently, it can have a negative influence on the daily lives of children and their parents. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of complicated and uncomplicated TDI on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of preschoolers and their families. A cross-sectional study was carried out according to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines. After sample calculation and application of the eligibility criteria, 76 children from public preschools (aged 2 to 5 years) with TDI were selected during a period of 5 months. TDI was diagnosed using the Dental Trauma Index and classified according to the severity as complicated or uncomplicated. The Brazilian version of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) was used to determine OHRQoL. The Poisson regression model and Poisson regression model with robust estimates were calculated according to -values <0.05. The complicated group and the uncomplicated group presented low average impact according to ECOHIS scores and there was no significant difference in the total scale, subscale, and domains (P>0.05) according to the type of TDI. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that severity of TDI did not influence the OHRQoL of preschoolers and their families.
外伤性牙损伤（TDI）的严重程度会影响乳牙的预后及恒牙胚的形成。因此，它会对儿童及其父母的日常生活产生负面影响。本研究旨在评估复杂性和非复杂性TDI对学龄前儿童及其家庭口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）的影响。根据加强流行病学观察性研究报告指南进行了一项横断面研究。经过样本计算并应用纳入标准后，在5个月的时间里从公立幼儿园选取了76名患有TDI的儿童（年龄在2至5岁）。使用牙外伤指数诊断TDI，并根据严重程度分为复杂性或非复杂性。采用巴西版幼儿口腔健康影响量表（ECOHIS）来确定OHRQoL。根据P值<0.05计算泊松回归模型和稳健估计的泊松回归模型。根据ECOHIS评分，复杂性组和非复杂性组的平均影响较低，根据TDI类型，在总量表、子量表和领域方面无显著差异（P>0.05）。基于这些发现，可以得出结论，TDI的严重程度不会影响学龄前儿童及其家庭的OHRQoL。
