Oral disorders associated with the experience of verbal bullying among Brazilian school-aged children: A case-control study.

CONCLUSION: Children aged 8 through 10 years with a severe malocclusion, larger maxillary misalignment, or the presence of pulp exposure had increased odds of experiencing VB compared with children without those oral health conditions. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Once oral disorders involved in VB are identified, appropriate approaches should be used to address this issue. With this course of action, oral health care professionals may use the treatment and preventive care to eliminate potential factors for peer aggression. PMID: 32450978 [PubMed - in process]
