Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to evaluate the presence of dental pain in children and adolescents, considering the independent samples. For the randomized clinical trial, the primary endpoint will be the change in pain score at the 7- and 14-day follow-ups compared to baseline. This outcome is composed of an ordinal qualitative variable and, therefore, the comparison between the telemarketing groups vs. face-to-face consultation will be performed using the Mann-Whitney test.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
As a secondary outcome, the impact of treatments on oral health-related quality of life and the number of teeth lost after a 24-month follow-up will be evaluated. Differences in the final and initial scores of the oral health-related quality of life questionnaires; and the amount of missing teeth will be compared between groups using Student's t test or the Mann-Whitney test, depending on the normality of the data distribution.
