Abstract
A population-based, matched case-comparison study was undertaken in 30 schools in two Ontario communities to measure the impact of dental trauma on quality of life (QoL) in Canadian school children. Dental hygienists screened 2422 children aged 12-14 years using the dental trauma index, the decayed, missing and filled teeth index (DMFT) and the aesthetic component of the index of orthodontic treatment needs (AC-IOTN). Cases (n = 135) were children with evidence of previous dental trauma. Controls (n = 135) were classmates matched for age and gender. Oral-health-related QoL was assessed using mailed Child Perception Questionnaires (CPQ(11-14)) completed by all children. Data were analyzed using simple and multiple conditional logistic regressions after adjusting for DMFT and AC-IOTN, CPQ(11-14), overall impact and item-specific impacts. Approximately 64% of injuries were untreated enamel fractures and just over 30% were previously injured restored teeth. Untreated children experienced more chewing difficulties (P = 0.026), avoided smiling (P = 0.029) and experienced affected social interactions (P = 0.032) compared with their non-injured peers. When treated and non-injured groups were compared, the only statistically significant effect was difficulty in chewing (P = 0.038). Injured children who were untreated experienced more social impact than their non-injured peers. Restoration of injured teeth improved aesthetics and social interactions but functional deficiencies persisted as a result of periodontal or pulpal pain.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
