Abstract

Background/aim: Insufficient motor coordination can predispose children to falls and, consequently, the occurrence of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs). The present study investigated the association between psychomotor development and TDI in preschool children.

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 189 children aged three to six years in Diamantina, Brazil. Psychomotor development was assessed using the Test of Gross Motor Development-Second Edition (motor assessment) and a validated preschool version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (cognitive assessment). Parents/guardians answered a socioeconomic questionnaire. Anthropometric measures were determined using WHO growth curves to obtain the body mass index (BMI). Intraoral examinations were performed by a single examiner trained and calibrated for diagnosing TDI based on the criteria proposed by Andreasen, with radiographic evaluations conducted when necessary. Lip coverage, anterior open bite, arch shape, and overjet were also recorded. Descriptive statistics, the chi-square test, and Poisson regression (bivariate and multivariate) analyses were performed (95% CI, p < 0.05).

Results: The prevalence of TDI was 50.3%. Delayed motor development (PR = 1.66; 95% CI: 1.25-2.22) and obesity (PR = 1.64; 95% CI: 1.10-2.45) were significantly associated with TDI in the adjusted model.

Conclusion: Delayed motor development and obesity were associated with TDI in preschool children.

学龄前儿童心理运动发育与创伤性牙损伤。

背景/目的：运动协调性不足会使儿童容易跌倒，从而导致创伤性牙损伤（TDIs）的发生。本研究旨在探讨学龄前儿童精神运动发展与TDI的关系。材料和方法：对巴西Diamantina的189名3 - 6岁儿童进行了一项横断面研究。使用大肌肉运动发展测试-第二版（运动评估）和经过验证的学前迷你精神状态检查（认知评估）来评估精神运动发展。家长/监护人回答了一份社会经济问卷。采用WHO生长曲线测定人体测量值，获得体重指数（BMI）。口腔内检查由一名经过培训并根据Andreasen提出的标准进行TDI诊断的检查者进行，必要时进行放射学评估。还记录了唇部覆盖、前牙合、弓形和上盖。描述性统计、卡方检验和泊松回归（双变量和多变量）分析（95% CI, p）结果：TDI患病率为50.3%。运动发育迟缓(PR = 1.66；95% CI: 1.25-2.22)和肥胖(PR = 1.64；95% CI: 1.10-2.45)与调整后模型中TDI显著相关。结论：学龄前儿童TDI与运动发育迟缓和肥胖有关。
