“…However, the previous studies suggest a possible association between oral health behaviors and OHRQoL [51–53]. The discrepancy between this study and the previous studies may be explained by the difference in study populations and age (Japanese university students aged 18 and 19 years vs. Korean elderly aged 65–85 years, Brazilian orthodontic patients aged 14 to 30 years, or Spanish dental patients aged 18 to 87 years).…”

BackgroundThe present study aimed to elucidate the associations among self-rated oral health, clinical oral health status, oral health behaviors, subjective oral symptoms, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in a group of Japanese university students.MethodsOf 2051 participants, 2027 (98.83%) students received an optional oral examination and answered a questionnaire including items regarding age, sex, self-rated oral health, oral health behaviors, subjective oral symptoms, and OHRQoL [The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP)-14]. On oral examination, the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) score, Community Periodontal Index (CPI), the percentage of teeth showing bleeding on probing (%BOP), and malocclusion were recorded. Structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis was used to test associations.ResultsThe mean score (± SD) of OHIP-14 was 1.92 ± 5.47. In the SEM analysis, the final model showed that self-rated oral health, oral pain, malocclusion, and the DMFT score were directly associated with the OHRQoL, and subjective symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and recurrent aphthous stomatitis were both directly and indirectly associated (p < 0.05). CPI, %BOP, and oral health behaviors were excluded from the final model.ConclusionsOHRQoL was associated with self-related oral health, subjective symptoms of TMD, oral pain and stomatitis, DMFT, and malocclusion in this group of Japanese university students.

“…Happiness has been associated with several health outcomes, such as regular exercise, not smoking, reduced alcohol intake, higher sleep quality and quantity, and a healthy diet [ 9 – 13 ]. Generally, subjective measures of health, such as self-reported health or health-related quality of life, are closely related to happiness [ 14 – 16 ].…”

BackgroundTraditional methods to measure oral health based on clinical standards are limited because they do not consider psychosocial and functional aspects of oral health. It has been recommended that these measures need to be supplemented by data obtained from patients regarding their individual perceptions on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Happiness is a multidimensional construct comprising both emotional and cognitive domains, and has been defined as “the degree to which an individual judges the overall quality of his or her life as a whole favorably”. It has been associated with several health outcomes, including oral health. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of oral health conditions, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and socioeconomic factors on the subjective happiness of Brazilian adolescents.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in 2012 on a representative sample of 12-year-old schoolchildren in Santa Maria-RS, Brazil. The data were collected through dental examinations and structured interviews. The participants underwent an evaluation aimed at detecting dental caries, traumatic dental injuries, malocclusion, and gingival bleeding. They also completed the Brazilian versions of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire-short form (CPQ11–14 – ISF: 16) and the Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS), which was our outcome variable. Socioeconomic conditions were evaluated through a questionnaire that was completed by the participants’ parents. Poisson regression analysis was used to determine the association between the explanatory variables and the outcome. Moreover, a correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the SHS scores and the overall and domain scores of the CPQ11–14 –ISF: 16.ResultsA total of 1,134 children were evaluated. Unadjusted analyses showed that happiness was associated with socioeconomic indicators, the use of dental services, clinical status, and scores on the OHRQoL measure. After adjustment, household overcrowding (RR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.93-0.98), dental caries (RR: 0.98; 95% CI: 0.97-0.99), malocclusion (RR: 0.98; 95% CI: 0.96-0.99), and the severity associated with the CPQ11-14 (RR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.93-0.97) still showed a significant association with lower levels of the mean SHS score.ConclusionsHappiness is influenced by oral conditions, socioeconomic status, and OHRQoL.

“…Self-reported oral health is also influenced by mood, as confirmed by the present study. The results of Yoon et al [30] show that the frequency of cleaning one's teeth is reflected in one's sense of independence and interest in caring about oral health on one's own. Such activities are positively correlated with happiness.…”

Introduction: The literature describes relationships between negative emotions arising in connection with a dental appointment. Emotional processes and states thus represent factors that can considerably influence human health and oral health. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine factors related to one's mood before visiting a dental office. Material and methods: Seventy-eight first-time dental patients (40 females, 38 males; Mage = 40.7, SD = 14.4) participated in the study. The participants completed a questionnaire consisting of a demographic data questionnaire, statements measuring subjective oral health, hygiene, and patients' knowledge about the oral cavity, and standardised research tools: the Mood Adjective Checklist (UMACL) and the Health Behaviour Questionnaire (HBI), prior to a dental visit. The DMFT index (DT-mean number of decayed teeth, MT-mean number of missing teeth, FT-mean number of filled teeth), Dental Treatment Index (DTI), and Approximal Plaque Index (API) were assessed during a clinical examination. Results: Hedonic tone (HT) was significantly related to number of filled teeth (FT) (p = 0.036), subjective oral hygiene (p < 0.02), and level of knowledge about the oral cavity (p < 0.01). There was a significant correlation between HT and the HBI global score (p < 0.02) and Health practices (p < 0.01). Energetic arousal (EA) was related to the level of education (p < 0.04) and subjective factors influencing mood before the visit. Conclusions: The study shows that the factors that affect one's mood before a dental visit comprise education, oral health and hygiene, and health behaviours.
