ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND/AIM:
Traumatic dental injuries (TDI) constitute a public health problem. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether sleep disorders, school jet lag, and anxiety are associated with TDI in schoolchildren 8-10 years of age.METHODS:
An analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted with 739 pairs of parents/guardians and children enrolled in public and private schools. The parents/guardians answered a socioeconomic questionnaire, the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children, Circadian Energy Scale, and Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale. Four examiners underwent calibration exercises for the diagnosis of TDI (K > 0.80) using the criteria proposed by Andreasen (2007). A directed acyclic graph was used for the formulation of the theoretical model and statistical adjustments. Unadjusted and adjusted robust binary logistic regression analyses were performed (α = 5%).RESULTS:
The prevalence of TDI was 16.2%. The following variables remained associated with the outcome in the final model family income less than or equal to the minimum monthly wage (OR = 1.77; 95% CI 1.09-2.88; p = .02), child's height >137.6 cm (OR = 1.68; 95% CI 1.06-2.64; p = .02), the occurrence of school jet lag (OR = 2.12; 95% CI 1.27-3.53; p = .004), anxiety (OR = 1.77; 95% CI 1.04-3.00; p = .04) and sleep disorders (OR = 1.63; 95% CI 1.38-1.93; p = .05).CONCLUSION:
Children from families with a lower income, taller children, those with school jet lag, those with anxiety and those with sleep disorders had a greater occurrence of TDI.
