INTRODUCTION: Evidence regarding the impact of early loss of primary molars (ELPM) on Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) is lacking. The aim of the present study was evaluating the impact of ELPM on OHRQoL of Brazilian schoolchildren aged 6-10 years. METHODS: This observational prospective cohort study was conducted with 163 schoolchildren, assigned in the primary tooth loss group (PTLG), in which all tooth loss was caused by carious lesions, and in a control group without tooth loss (CG). Two calibrated examiners conducted the clinical oral assessments to determine caries experience and tooth loss. OHRQoL was assessed using the Child Perception Questionnaire 8-10 years (CPQ8-10) instrument administered at baseline and at 10-12 months of follow-up. RESULTS: Children in PTLG exhibited significantly more negative impact on OHRQoL at baseline (p < 0.01) than CG, and also after the follow-up period (p < 0.01). It was also possible to observe a significant reduction in the negative impact on OHRQoL in both CG and PTLG in the longitudinal analysis (p < 0.01). Nevertheless, there was an even more substantial reduction in the negative impact on OHRQoL in children in PTLG. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence that early tooth loss is associated with negative impact on OHRQoL. Moreover, it indicates that access to dental treatment can have a positive impact on the OHRQoL of children with dental caries and ELPM.
