Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the maxillofacial injuries of the elementary school children and analyzing the concerned factor. Methods: This study was cross-sectional survey consisted of self-administration questionnaires. All 2,100 parents of elementary school children in Jeonju city were selected using convenience sampling. The questionnaires included the maxillofacial injuries status of children, the perception of parents about maxillofacial injuries and sociodemographic features. Results: Data from this survey indicated an overall experience rate(23.0%) of maxillofacial injuries of elementary school children, and during the last 1 year experience rate(5.1%) of it. Falling down was the most common cause of injuries, and the contrary to our expectations, the majority of children’s injuries occurred by the side of ‘parents’ and ‘family’. Concerning treatment at the first visit, ‘crown restorations’ for crown fracture were highest in frequency, and ‘follow up check’, ‘endodontic procedures’ were next in order. The 2.3% of students were school loss(absence or early leaving school) on account of maxillofacial injuries. The most part of injured children are ‘changeless’ in character and/or life style, but some children are ‘a little change(15.3%)’ and ‘excessively change(1.3%)’. It also showed that emergency treatment for injured children is poor and instruction of medical treatment is not generally known. Most parents agreed that mouth protector is necessary, and the legalization to wear it at sport activity is important(91.9%). Boys experienced more maxillofacial injury than girls(odds ratio 1.68). The elementary students whose parents are uninjured showed lower probability of maxillofacial injuries than the students whose parents are injured. Compare to students in high income group, students in medium or low income groups were more likely to have dental injury. Conclusion: The maxillofacial injuries of elementary school children is a important factor that degenerate the quality of the oral health, cause school loss, and bring about the change of life style.
