Abstract

Background/Aim

Dental avulsion injury, being one of the traumatic dental injuries, has negative impacts on children's life quality. This study aims to evaluate the Pediatric Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (POQL) scores of children with dental avulsion history from their perspective.

Materials and Methods

The population of this cross-sectional study comprises 40 patients, aged between 8 and 14, who have a history of dental avulsion, in comparison to 40 other healthy peers. A questionnaire including general questions (such as age, gender, loss of tooth due to dental avulsion, malocclusion) and POQL instrument, with subscales including physical function, social function, emotional function, and role function, were completed by these children. Mann–Whitney U-test is used when comparing the POQL scores.

Results

The social scores (median: 47, interquartile range [IQR]: 17–95) and total score percentages (median: 30, IQR: 14–40) of children with a history of avulsion were higher than those of their healthy peers (p < 0.05). The higher total POQL scores among girls (median: 37, IQR: 31–47) with a history of dental avulsion compared to boys (median: 19, IQR: 8–34) (p = .002) can be attributed to girls achieving higher scores in both social (median: 81, IQR: 39–100) and emotional (median: 35, IQR: 17–47) scores following dental avulsion (p_social = .02, p_emotional = .006). Whether the avulsed tooth is replanted or not, it has not made any visible impact on the POQL scores. However, the loss of replanted teeth over time has created a borderline significant difference in emotional scores (median: 21, IQR: 11–35, p = .055).

Conclusion

Within the limits of our study, avulsion injuries have negative effects on children's emotional, social, and total quality of life. Even though avulsion injuries may be inevitable, to prevent these negative effects, it is vital to provide appropriate psychological support in the treatment of these children.

评估外伤性牙齿撕脱伤患儿与口腔健康相关的生活质量评分：基于问卷的横断面调查

背景/目的牙齿撕脱伤是牙科创伤之一，对儿童的生活质量有负面影响。本研究旨在从有牙齿脱落史的儿童的角度，评估其与小儿口腔健康相关的生活质量（POQL）评分。材料和方法本横断面研究的研究对象包括 40 名有牙齿脱落史的患者，年龄在 8 至 14 岁之间，与 40 名其他健康的同龄人进行对比。这些儿童填写了一份问卷，其中包括一般问题（如年龄、性别、牙齿脱落造成的牙齿缺失、咬合不正）和 POQL 工具，其中的子量表包括身体功能、社交功能、情感功能和角色功能。结果有牙齿脱落史的儿童的社交得分（中位数：47，四分位距[IQR]：17-95）和总分百分比（中位数：30，四分位距[IQR]：14-40）均高于健康儿童（P < 0.05）。与男孩（中位数：19，IQR：8-34）相比，有牙齿脱落史的女孩（中位数：37，IQR：31-47）的 POQL 总分更高（p = .002），这是因为女孩在牙齿脱落后的社交（中位数：81，IQR：39-100）和情感（中位数：35，IQR：17-47）得分更高（psocial = .02, pemotional = .006）。无论脱落的牙齿是否得到修复，都不会对 POQL 评分产生明显影响。然而，随着时间的推移，重新镶嵌的牙齿的脱落会在情绪评分上造成边缘显著差异（中位数：21，IQR：11-35，p = .055）。结论在我们的研究范围内，撕脱伤会对儿童的情绪、社交和总体生活质量造成负面影响。尽管撕脱伤可能不可避免，但为了防止这些负面影响，在治疗这些儿童时提供适当的心理支持至关重要。
