abstract="BACKGROUND/AIM: Traumatic Dental Injuries occur frequently among young children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of traumatic dental injuries on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in preschool children using the Scale of Oral Health Outcomes for 5-year-old children (SOHO-5). <br><br>MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study involved 769 five-year-old children enrolled at public and private preschools. Two examiners underwent a training process which involved the determination of inter-examiner and intra-examiner agreement (Kappa statistic) for all clinical conditions (K > 0.82). Descriptive statistics were performed, followed by Poisson regression analysis (α = 5%). <br><br>RESULTS: The prevalence of the impact of oral problems on OHRQoL was 32.9% and 42.2% according to the parents/caregivers and children, respectively. Based on the children's self-reports, the occurrence of two or more injured teeth (PR=1.30; 95% CI: 1.04-1.64), toothache (PR=1.68; 95% CI: 1.35-2.09) and a low level of parent's schooling (PR=1.54; 95% CI: 1.24-1.91) exerted impacts on OHRQoL. For the reports of parents/caregivers, the occurrence of non-complicated TDI (PR=0.66; 95% CI: 0.44-0.98), toothache (PR=8.03; 95% CI: 5.92-10.88) and a low level of parent's schooling (PR=1.60; 95% CI: 1.17-2.17) remained associated in the final model. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The impact of oral problems on the OHRQoL of the preschool children was high. A greater number of injured teeth, the presence of toothache and socioeconomic factors were associated with poorer OHRQoL, based on the reports of both the parents/caregivers and children. The occurrence of non-complicated TDI was a protective factor for OHRQoL. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.<br><br>This article is protected by copyright.
