Dental patient-reported outcomes (dPROs) are self-reported descriptions of a patient's oral health status that are not modified or interpreted by a healthcare professional. Dental patient-reported outcome measures (dPROMs) are objective or subjective measurements used to assess dPROs. In oral healthcare settings, the emphasis on assessing treatment outcomes from the patient's perspective has increased and this is particularly important after traumatic dental injuries (TDIs), as this group of injuries represent the fifth most prevalent disease or condition worldwide. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current use of dPROs and dPROMs in the field of dental traumatology. Oral Health-Related Quality of Life, pain, swelling, aesthetics, function, adverse effects, patient satisfaction, number of clinical visits and trauma-related dental anxiety are the key dPROs following TDIs. Clinicians and researchers should consider the well-being of patients as their top priority and conduct routine evaluations of dPROs using measures that are appropriate, accurate and reflect what is important to the patient. After a TDI, dPROs can assist clinicians and patients to choose the best management option(s) for each individual patient and potentially improve the methodology, design and relevance of clinical studies.
口腔患者报告结局（dPROs）是患者自我报告的口腔健康状况描述，未经医疗保健专业人员修改或解释。口腔患者报告结局测量（dPROMs）是用于评估 dPROs 的客观或主观测量。在口腔保健环境中，越来越强调从患者角度评估治疗结果，这在创伤性牙外伤（TDI）后尤为重要，因为这组损伤是全球第五大最常见的疾病或状况。本综述的目的是总结口腔创伤学领域中 dPROs 和 dPROMs 的当前应用。口腔健康相关生活质量、疼痛、肿胀、美观、功能、不良反应、患者满意度、就诊次数和与创伤相关的牙科焦虑是 TDI 后的主要 dPROs。临床医生和研究人员应将患者的福祉作为首要任务，并使用适当、准确且反映患者重要需求的措施对 dPROs 进行常规评估。TDI 后，dPROs 可帮助临床医生和患者为每位患者选择最佳的治疗方案，并可能改善临床研究的方法学、设计和相关性。
