Instrumentos para avaliação do impacto do traumatismo dentário na qualidade de vida de crianças e adolescentes

Abstract

Oralchanges cause symptoms in children that can generate physical, social and psychological effects interfering in their daily life or Quality of Life (QoL).Thus, the present study aimed to review the instruments used to measure the impact of dental trauma on the quality of life of children and adolescents.For the literature review, articles in the database were selected using keywords to select potentially relevant titles and abstracts.In the first studies carried out to measure the impact of dental trauma on the Oral health-related quality of life (HRQoL) there were no versions of the instruments in Portuguese, some taking into account only the point of view of the participating children and others only the impact on the view of those responsible.Afterreviewing the literature, we verified that the Portuguese version of the Parental-Questionnaire Child Perceptions P-CPQ was more complete, taking into account both the children's perception and that of their parents
