“…Therefore, parents/caregivers can assist the adolescent in the oral health care at home, based on the guidelines and recommendations given by the dentist with respect to tooth-brushing, flossing and diet. 34,35 The literature has several studies that discuss the role of orthodontic treatment in improving the well-being of adolescents. 36,37,38 This is due to the psychosocial impact of dentofacial aesthetics on the life of an adolescent and the impairment of functions caused by severe dento-skeletal discrepancies.…”

Aim: To evaluate the oral health and well-being of adolescents with malocclusion who were submitted to orthodontic treatment, assessing the perspective of parents/caregivers and adolescents and to investigate the effects of orthodontic treatment among adolescents on the perception of oral health and well-being, in relation to the opinion of parents/caregivers and adolescents. Methods: Adolescents between 11 and 12 years submitted to orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances at the Federal University of Minas Gerais and their parents/caregivers participated. Adolescents and their parents/caregivers answered questions about the health of adolescents’ teeth, lips, jaws and mouth and about how the condition of adolescents’ teeth, lips, jaws or mouth affects adolescents overall life or well-being before orthodontic treatment onset and 12 months after fixed appliances’ placement. Results: Parents had a significantly more negative perception of the impact of malocclusion on adolescents’ lives or well-being (p<0.001). Adolescents reported that their oral health improved after 12 months of orthodontic treatment (p<0.001). Adolescents also reported that their lives or well-being was significantly less affected after 12 months of orthodontic treatment (p=0.026). Parents/caregivers reported that their adolescents’ oral health improved after 12 months of orthodontic treatment (p<0.001). Parents/caregivers also reported that their adolescents’ lives or well-being was significantly less affected after 12 months of orthodontic treatment (p<0.001). Conclusion: Parents/caregivers have a more negative perception regarding the impact of malocclusion on the life and well-being of an adolescent. After 12 months of orthodontic treatment onset, parents/caregivers and adolescents considered that adolescents’ overall health and well-being had improved. Keywords: adolescent, malocclusion, orthodontic treatment, oral health, well-being.

“…Regarding oral health studies, emphasis has been placed on preventive approaches and on the concept of risk, which have proved to be insufficient to modify the current epidemiological scenario of children's caries 20 . Despite its reduced prevalence in most developed countries, caries persists as the most frequent chronic disease in childhood.…”

Background Oral health research in children has focused both on identifying the risk factors for dental caries and on the impact the disease has on children's life. Aim Identifying studies that used the salutogenic theory to investigate positive aspects to promote a healthy condition in preschool children. Design A literature scoping review was conducted to answer the question: 'What has been produced in scientific literature about children's oral health with a salutogenic theoretical reference?' The checklist preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta‐analyses extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA‐ScR) was applied. The research was conducted on the databases PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science with no language, design, country or date restrictions. Three independent reviewers selected the studies to be included in the research, extracted data, and assessed the studies' contribution to the review. Results Among the 38 studies retained, 10 were included, those were published between 2009 and 2018: five in Brazil, two in the United States of America, and one in Canada, China and India, respectively. All articles were published in English language. Nine studies investigated the relation between the parents'/caretakers' sense of coherence and aspects related to the children's oral health condition. One study investigated health factors among the parents of caries‐free children. Conclusion Salutogenic orientation must be included in oral health research, so that salutary and risk factors may coexist, contributing to a new perspective for oral health promotion among children.
