“…In this study, CPQ 11–14 was used to measure OHRQoL of 15-year-old children, so that the data of this study could be compared with the data of 12-year-old children. There are other studies using CPQ 11–14 to measure OHRQoL of children older than 14 years old [ 36 , 44 , 45 ]. All variables in this study were included into ordinal regression and the main effect models were used to calculate adjusted ORs.…”

BackgroundSeveral hypotheses on factors that influence oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) have been proposed but a consensus has not been reached. This cross-sectional study aimed to analyse the sociodemographic and clinical factors that may influence the OHRQoL of 15-year-old children.MethodsA representative sample was selected from Hong Kong. Periodontal status and caries were examined according to WHO criteria. Four orthodontic indices were used to assess malocclusion. Child Perception Questionnaire (CPQ11–14, 37 items) including four domains, namely oral symptoms (OS), functional limitations (FL), emotional well-being (EWB), and social well-being (SWB), was used to measure OHRQoL. Adjusted OR was calculated by ordinal logistic regression.ResultsA total of 364 eligible subjects (186 girls, 178 boys) were recruited. The prevalence of caries was higher in girls than in boys (P = 0.013). Compared with girls, boys tended to have a better experience in the domains of EWB, SWB and the total CPQ (adjusted OR = 0.46, 0.59 and 0.61, respectively). Unhealthy periodontal conditions were more prevalent than caries (92.6% vs. 52.7%); moreover, periodontal conditions with CPI scores of 2 had a negative effect on the domain of SWB and the total CPQ (adjusted OR = 1.76 and 1.71, respectively). Only the most severe malocclusion showed an effect on the domain of FL and the total CPQ (adjusted OR = 1.55 and 2.10, respectively). Little effect of family ecosocial factors and caries was found on CPQ scores.ConclusionIn this study, gender, periodontal status, and malocclusion showed an effect on OHRQoL after adjusting for potential confounders. Boys had less caries and better OHRQoL than girls did. Unhealthy periodontal conditions led to worse social welfares and OHRQoL. The most severe level of malocclusion caused oral functional limitations, hence worse OHRQoL.

“…In a study from a non-water-fluoridated city in Sweden, the prevalence of fluorosis was 49% in children 7-9 years of age [6]. In 10 to 15-year-old schoolchildren in Brazil, the prevalence of fluorosis was 48.5% [7]. Other studies using Dean's criteria for fluorosis instead of the TF index show that the prevalence of dental fluorosis in the USA was 40.7% among adolescents aged 12-15 years in a 1999-2004 survey [8].…”

“…Dentre as condições, a má oclusão foi a mais avaliada como alteração bucal principal e que afeta diretamente os aspectos psicossociais dos adolescentes interferindo na sua qualidade de vida. A dor física foi o domínio com maior impacto e que teve maior influência sobre o estado de saúde bucal, bem como, interferiu diretamente nas atividades cotidianas na vida dos adolescentes 2,20,21 .…”

INTRODUCTION: During adolescence, changes in oral health status can influence even more the quality of life since in this phase there is greater physical, psychological and social vulnerability, being a moment in which the individual is shaping his identity. OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the level of evidence and scientific knowledge currently available in the literature on the association between the status of the oral condition of adolescents and the quality of life reported by them. METHODOLY: This integrative review followed the steps idealized by Cooper (1982). After the problem was formulated, data were collected from the studies found in Pubmed and Lilacs databases. The studies that attended the inclusion and exclusion criteria previously established were selected and completely read. During the analysis of collected data, each article was classified according to their level of evidence. Afterwards, it was realized the analysis and interpretation of data and finally the public presentation. RESULTS: From the adopted criteria, 13 articles were selected, most of them were cross-sectional studies. Systematic reviews or randomized controlled trials were not found. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) was the most used instrument. CONCLUSION: There were few studies with a high level of scientific evidence that evaluated the association between the status of adolescents' oral condition and the quality of life reported by them. The literature is still inconclusive regarding the association of oral health and quality of life of adolescents.
