Correlation and comparative analysis of the CPQ8-10 and child-OIDP indexes for dental caries and malocclusion

Abstract

Correlation and comparative analysis of the CPQ 8-10 and child-OIDP indexes for dental caries and malocclusion Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the Child Perceptions Questionnaire 8 to 10 (CPQ8-10) and child-Oral Impact on Daily Performances (child-OIDP) indexes according to their total and item scores, as well as assess the discriminative validity of these assessment tools regarding dental caries and malocclusion among schoolchildren. A sample of 300 children aged between 8 and 10 years answered the questionnaires in two distinct steps. First, half of the sample (G1 = 150) answered the CPQ 8-10 and the other half (G2 = 150) answered the child-OIDP. A week after, G1 answered the child-OIDP and G2 answered the CPQ [8][9][10] . Dental Aesthetic Index and WHO criteria were used to categorize malocclusion and dental caries, respectively. Descriptive analysis, Spearman's correlation and Mann-Whitney test were performed in this study. The CPQ 8-10 and child-OIDP demonstrated a statistically significant and moderate correlation between their total scores. Regarding the discriminative validity, CPQ 8-10 demonstrated a significant association between the "emotional status" daily activity and dental caries, and between the "eating", "sleeping", and "studying" daily activities and malocclusion. Concerning the child-OIDP, a significant difference was found only between the "social contact" activity and presence of dental caries. Both instruments were not capable of distinguishing children with and without dental caries and/or malocclusion by their total scores. However, the instruments were able to discriminate between children with and without those oral disorders in different dimensions. Thus, the CPQ 8-10 and the child-OIDP demonstrated a different capacity to assess the impact on OHRQoL among schoolchildren.

Assessment of the impact of toothache, untreated caries and its consequences on the quality of life among poor Brazilian children

“…The prevalence of caries in the present study was of 74.3%, very similar to a previous value found in a study conducted in children with similar social-economic characteristics, as well-established dental decay is a multifactorial disease, low social-economic conditions are highly associated with poorer oral conditions and higher prevalence of carious lesions 16 . Studies with children in the same age group reveal this prevalence to be ranged from 52.3 to 64.6% [17][18][19][20] , considerably lower than the results herein. The participants of this study are in a social vulnerability condition, characterized by inapt this study.…”

The correlation analysis of dental caries, general health conditions and daily performance in children aged 2-5 years old

“…This questionnaire instrument focuses on ten basic daily activities, namely, eating, talking, cleaning the mouth, performing light physical activities, sleeping, relaxing, smiling, having emotional states, going out, and enjoying interacting with others. [14][15][16] In addition, the influence of daily life performance on oral caries aims to provide alternative sociodental indicators, focusing on measuring a person's ability to carry out the indicated daily activities with the condition of the oral caries. The results of the OIDP questions concerned with the general health conditions of children aged <5 years who often have toothache and dental caries indicated a significant correlation between the incidence rate of dental caries and the frequency of having toothache.…”
