“…In the current study, the most frequently reported domains were symptoms and functional limitations, whereas the domains of child self-image and social interaction were reported least frequently. These results are consistent with those in previous studies 17,18 . Thus, pain relief and functional improvement should be primary treatment goals for managing tooth decay in young children.…”

Objective This study aimed to investigate the association between oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) and caries experience of Hong Kong preschool children. Methods Parents or primary caregivers of Hong Kong preschool children were invited to complete a self‐administered dental health questionnaire. The study children were examined in their classrooms. The decayed, missing and filled primary teeth (dmft) index was used for documenting the caries status. The questionnaire included the Chinese Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) and collected sociodemographic information on the parents and children. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between OHRQoL and caries experience of preschool children. Results A total of 434 preschool children were invited to participate in the study; 336 (77.4%) received a dental examination and returned a parental questionnaire. The mean (SD) age of the study children was 4.7 (0.3) years. An OHRQoL impact (ECOHIS score of >0) for at least one item was reported by 236 (70.2%) parents/caregivers of the children included in the study. The overall mean (SD) ECOHIS score was 5.8 (6.2). A caries prevalence (dmft > 0) of 36.9% and a mean (SD) dmft score of 1.7 (3.2) were calculated for the study children. In the final logistic regression model, children with a higher dmft score had a significantly higher chance of having a poorer OHRQoL (OR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.07–1.35, P = 0.002), whereas children's sex, parent's education levels and the respondent's relationship to the child were not associated with OHRQoL (P > 0.05). Conclusion Caries experience is associated with lower OHRQoL of Hong Kong preschool children.

“…For every one unit increase in dmft score, the chance of having an impact on a child's OHRQoL was 1.2 times as likely. This is in agreement with the results of studies conducted in diverse geographical areas such as Brazil, France and Trinidad. The caries status of Hong Kong preschool children has not been improved in the last decade.…”

Aims This study aimed to perform an epidemiological systematic review and meta‐analysis to estimate the global prevalence of dental caries in athletes with intellectual disabilities. Methods and results This study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42017068127). A systematic and extensive search was conducted in the Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, Virtual Health Library (Lilacs) databases, and Grey literature from inception up to April 2017. The MeSH terms “Sports,” Athletes,” and “Dental Caries” were used. The inclusion criteria used were observational cross‐sectional studies, longitudinal retrospective and prospective studies that present the prevalence of dental caries in athletes with intellectual disabilities. After the selection process, the risk of bias was assessed and a meta‐analysis was conducted. Sixteen articles met the inclusion criteria. Of these, eight studies were considered to have a moderate risk of bias, and eight were considered to have high risk of bias. The global prevalence of dental caries was 36.5% (95% CI = 30.6 to 42.7) with high heterogeneity between studies. Conclusion Dental caries is a significant global health problem in athletes with intellectual disabilities worldwide. There is a great need for increased oral health promotion, education, and prevention as a way to reduce this condition in this population.
