Objectives: To assess the prevalence and factors associated with TDI to permanent anterior teeth in children participating in the QUALITY cohort. Methods: Study participants (N=279) include children 8-10 years of age at risk of obesity, and their families. TDI was clinically evaluated using the same criteria of the Children's Dental Health Survey’s questionnaire, UK. Questionnaires completed by children and their parents collected data on socio-demographic, behavioural and environmental factors. Results: The prevalence of TDI was 12.9%. Children with incisal overjet greater than 5mm, from high socioeconomic backgrounds, and residing in neighbourhoods with high levels of social capital were more likely to have TDI. Conclusion: Neighbourhood characteristics, such as social capital and socioeconomic status may be associated with TDI experience.Introduction: Des études ont démontré que les caractéristiques des quartiers étaient associées à la santé; toutefois, cette association n'a pas été complètement explorée en regard du trauma dentaire (TD) au Québec. Objectifs: Évaluer la prévalence de TD ainsi que les facteurs associés au TD sur les dents antérieures chez les enfants participants à la cohorte QUALITY. Méthodes: Les participants (N=279) étaient des enfants, âgés de 8 à 10 ans et ayant un risque élevé de développer l'obésité, ainsi que leurs familles. TD a été cliniquement évalué en utilisant les mêmes critères du questionnaire de l'Enquête de Santé Dentaire des Enfants du Royaume-Uni. Les questionnaires complétés par les enfants et leurs parents ont permis de recueillir des données sociodémographiques, comportement mentales et environnementales. Résultats: La prédominance de TD s’élevait à 12.9 %. Les enfants ayant un surjet incisal plus grand que 5 millimètres, une position socioéconomique élevée et résidant dans les quartiers avec un niveau de capital social élevé étaient plus à risque de TD. Conclusion: Les caractéristiques des quartiers tels que le capital social et le statut socioéconomique pourraient être associées avec le TD.McGill UniversityBelinda Farias Nicolau (Supervisor1)Tracie Barnett (Supervisor2)2009Electronic Thesis or Dissertationapplication/pdfenElectronically-submitted theses.All items in eScholarship@McGill are protected by copyright with all rights reserved unless otherwise indicated.Master of Science (Faculty of Dentistry) http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=40724
