To use clinical and socio-dental indicators to evaluate traumatic dental injury (TDI) profile in Brazilian preschool children with low income.
A cross-sectional study was carried out with children of low-income families, from 2 to 6 year-old, who attended public preschools. A clinical indicator to evaluate TDI and a socio-dental indicator to detect the impact on Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) for preschoolers (Early Childhood Impact Scale - ECOHIS) were used. Impact means were obtained, and the chi-square test and odds ratio were used in order to evaluate the variables (P<0.05).
Of the 606 children evaluated, the results were obtained from a final sample of 446 children. The prevalence of TDI was 17%. Children from 37 to 60 months (P=0.04; OR=0.59 95% CI 0.34-1.01) were associated with TDI. The mean impact on OHRQoL in the group with or without TDI was low without a statistical difference (P=0.97).
Based on these findings, the association of clinical and socio-dental indicators showed low prevalence of TDI and the impact on OHRQoL was indifferent between groups with or without TDI.
运用临床和社会口腔指标评估巴西低收入学龄前儿童的牙外伤（TDI）情况。
对就读于公立幼儿园的2至6岁低收入家庭儿童开展横断面研究。采用一项评估TDI的临床指标和一项检测对学龄前儿童口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）影响的社会口腔指标（幼儿影响量表 - ECOHIS）。获取影响均值，并使用卡方检验和比值比来评估变量（P<0.05）。
在评估的606名儿童中，最终样本为446名儿童并得出结果。TDI的患病率为17%。37至60个月的儿童与TDI相关（P = 0.04；OR = 0.59，95%可信区间0.34 - 1.01）。有或无TDI组对OHRQoL的平均影响较低，无统计学差异（P = 0.97）。
基于这些发现，临床和社会口腔指标的关联显示TDI患病率较低，且有或无TDI组对OHRQoL的影响无差异。
