The impact of crown fracture in the permanent dentition on children’s quality of life

Abstract

Enamel fracture had no significant impact on children's quality of life, while enamel-dentin fracture did have an impact on quality of life.

Impact of crown fracture treatment on oral health‐related quality of life of children, adolescents, and their families: A prospective clinical study

“…The other domains did not show significant score changes (P > 0.05). In an overall analysis, adopting the total questionnaires' scores, a significant score reduction and a decrease of negative impact in C/A OHRQoL as reported by children (CPQ 8-10 , P = 0.0065), adolescents (CPQ [11][12][13][14] , P = 0.0486), and their parents (P-CPQ, P = 0.0259) were revealed ( Table 2). Concerning familiar impact, the restorative treatment of CFED did not influence the domains nor the total scale (FIS) (P > 0.05) ( Table 3).…”

“…The software BioEstat ® (Civil Society Mamirauá, Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil) was used to calculate the sample size using data from a pilot study, which was conducted with eight volunteers and which followed the same procedures as this study. The impact of restorative treatment of CFED in C/As was adopted as the main outcome of this study and, in this way, the mean difference and the standard deviation difference (before and after treatment) of the total score obtained in the Child Perceptions Questionnaires CPQ [8][9][10] and CPQ [11][12][13][14] were used to calculate the sample size, adopting a statistical power of 90%, an alpha error of 5%, and a sample loss prediction of 20% at the end of the study. The sample calculated for this study consisted of 25 patients.…”

“…This interventional prospective clinical study evaluated the OHRQoL of children and adolescents (through the questionnaires CPQ 8-10 , CPQ [11][12][13][14] , and P-CPQ) who suffered crown fractured involving enamel and dentin before and after the restorative treatment, as well as their families (through the questionnaire FIS). Pairs of patients and parents were selected from the Dental Trauma Surveillance and Monitoring Center-Department of Pediatric Dentistry of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (DTSMC-UFRJ), Brazil, from August 2016 to February 2018.…”

“…The OHRQoL questionnaires used in this study had four components: two questionnaires relating to C/A OHRQoL were applied directly to the C/As (CPQ 8-10 for 8-10-yearolds and CPQ 11-14 for 11-14-year-olds), while the other questionnaires relating to C/A OHRQoL were applied to their parents [Parental-Caregiver Perceptions Questionnaire (P-CPQ)], with a last questionnaire applied to the parents relating to familiar impact [Family Impact Scale (FIS)]. CPQ [8][9][10] , CPQ [11][12][13][14] , and P-CPQ assess quality of life in terms of the following four domains: oral symptoms, functional limitation, emotional well-being, and social well-being. Additionally, the FIS component assesses the familiar impact according to the three domains of parental emotions, family conflict, and parent/family activity.…”

“…Crown fracture involving enamel and dentin (CFED) is the second most prevalent TDI treated by dental clinics 10 and it has been proven that it is associated with difficulty with eating, avoidance of smiling, pain and sensitivity, and a greater prevalence of a negative impact on OHR-QoL. 9,11 Treatment for C/As with CFED is of fundamental importance, as such ensures the integrity of the fractured tooth and contributes to the healthy development of these individuals from the physical, social, and emotional standpoints. Based on this assumption, the aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of CFED treatment on the OHRQoL of C/As through a prospective study with a clinical intervention.…”
