“…In this study, TDI was significantly higher in the delinquent group than in the other two but significantly impacted the OHRQoL in all three. Similar observations were made in a 2019 study that found a negative impact of complicated TDI on the OHRQoL on children and their families (37). The impact of DMFT and PUFA on OHRQoL was established among school children with a positive association (38,39).…”

ObjectivesTo assess oral health and its implication on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among groups of foundling and delinquent children compared to mainstream children in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.Materials and MethodsThis cross-sectional observational study was conducted on children in care houses and mainstream school-going children. The following variables were measured for each group: Demographic data (age, gender); subjective oral health condition; (OHRQoL); clinical oral health condition including the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index; pulpally involved, ulceration, fistula, and abscess (PUFA) index; Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) for malocclusion, and traumatic dental injuries (TDI).Statistical AnalysisA one-way ANOVA test, Chi-square test, and Pearson correlation coefficient were used.ResultsThe total OHRQoL score was significantly higher for the delinquent compared to the mainstream group. In addition, the DMFT and mean PUFA scores were significantly higher for the delinquent group than the others. The DAI revealed statistical significance in occlusion status within the foundling and delinquent groups, and the prevalence of TDI was significantly higher in the delinquent vs. the mainstream group.ConclusionOral health status appeared to have an association with the OHRQoL among foundling, delinquent, and mainstream children.

“…The sole factor of concern in ODT is not only the physical and functional impact but also its aesthetic ramifications, psychosocial impairment, and incurred cost. 15,16 ODT occurs in childhood and may affect oral health-related quality of life for the rest of life. 13 Children and adolescents can have a detrimental psychological impact due to ODT, leading to withdrawing themselves from society and negatively affecting their self-confidence.…”

Background/AimContact sports‐related oro‐dental trauma contributes to a significant proportion of sports injuries among school children. Oro‐dental trauma imposes a detrimental impact on the oral health‐related quality of life. However, the burden of oro‐dental trauma among contact sports players and their practices of mouthguards remains a research gap in Sri Lanka. The current study bridges that while providing evidence for contextual changes such as initiating sports dentistry.Materials and MethodsThe study was conducted among 1340 adolescent contact sports players in Colombo district, Sri Lanka; 63.1% males and 36.9% females (age 13–18), who were enrolled in football, rugby, hockey, boxing, basketball, and martial arts in the school setting. A checklist was administered to obtain demographic information, sports practices, and the use of mouthguards. An oral examination was conducted for those who experienced oro‐dental trauma during the last 12 months.ResultsSelf‐reported oro‐dental trauma pooled prevalence of the contact sports players was 35.9% (95% CI = 33.3–38.5), with males' preponderance. Dental trauma was present in 23.8% (n = 319), while 15.8% were uncomplicated and 8% were complicated. Soft tissue injuries were present in 12.1% (n = 162). Oro dental trauma (ODT) was highly prevalent among boxing, rugby, and hockey players. Only 20.8% (n = 279) of players used mouthguards. However, 91.0% (n = 254) of them were using ready‐made mouthguards. Mouthguard use and the type of mouthguard showed statistically significant associations across the type of oro‐dental trauma among contact sports players.ConclusionsContact sports‐related oro‐dental trauma prevalence is as high as 35.9% among Colombo district school children in Sri Lanka. However, their level of mouthguard usage is shallow at 20.8%. Further research is necessary to investigate the reasons behind this, and national guidelines should be developed to prevent and manage sports‐related accidental injuries.
