“…So far, no therapy has been proven to be effective in controlling SB in children, mainly because of the multiplicity of the phenomena associated with this masticatory muscle activity during sleep . Untreated oral and dental changes can cause disorders in physical, psychological, and social performance, compromising the simple activities of a child's daily routine …”

“…1,14 Untreated oral and dental changes can cause disorders in physical, psychological, and social performance, compromising the simple activities of a child's daily routine. 15 Few studies evaluated the impact of SB on oral healthrelated quality of life (OHRQoL) in children. [16][17][18][19][20] Although it has been suggested an influence of SB in OHRQoL when psychosocial factors and symptomatology are associated with it, 18 there is no agreement on how SB may affect OHRQoL of children.…”

Sleep bruxism (SB) is a masticatory muscle activity during sleep that can cause several consequences to the stomatognathic system. This systematic review investigated the impact of SB on oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) of 0‐ to 6‐year‐old children. Literature search was undertaken through PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Scopus, TRIP, Livivo databases, and grey literature. The search was conducted with no publication year or language limits. Two reviewers independently selected the studies, extracted the data and assessed the risk of bias. The quality of evidence was assessed using GRADE. From 185 potentially eligible studies, three were included in the review. All studies were conducted in Brazil, published between 2015 and 2017, and used the B‐ECOHIS instrument to evaluate OHRQoL. Two studies found no association between SB and OHRQoL, whereas one showed a significant negative impact of SB on the OHRQoL of children. SB was associated with respiratory problems, presence of tooth wear, dental caries, malocclusion as well as income and pacifier use. Risk of bias ranged from moderate to high, and the quality of evidence was judged as very low. The evidence is currently insufficient for definitive conclusions about the impact of SB on OHRQoL of children.

“…Parents' perception of dental caries in intellectually disabled children has been examined, and the results have shown a significant impact of dental caries on parents' perception of the OHRQoL of children with intellectual disabilities. 4,5,8,9 Untreated dental caries represents a real clinical problem and it is associated with poor quality of life; 14,15 however, there is a paucity of research studies involving individuals with SHCN.…”

“…11,16,17 The Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) was designed to assess the OHRQoL of preschool children, where parents/caregivers answer the questionnaire as children lack the necessary cognitive skills to assess their own quality of life. 16 Dental caries has been associated with specific quality of life domains, such as the impact on parents' distress 15 and on children's social, functional, and psychological well-being. 14,15 The prevalence of any impact on OHRQoL has been higher for intellectually disabled children with both low and high caries severity when compared with their caries-free counterparts.…”

The oral health status of children with special health care needs (SHCN) can affect their quality of life wich domains of the Brazilian version of the Early Childohood Oral Health Impact Scale (B-ECOHIS). A cross-sectional study was conducted in children with SHCN (aged 1 to 9 years), who underwent an oral examination for the assessment of dental caries severity. Parents/caregivers answered two questionnaires, one on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL)-B-ECOHIS, and one on socioeconomic characteristics. Statistical analyses were performed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Mann-Whitney U-test, Poisson regression, Point-biserial correlation coefficient, and Cronbach's alpha. A total of 128 children participated in the study and OHRQoL was affected in 68.75% of them. The function domain in the Child Impact Section (CIS) had a higher mean value. Caries severity was associated with worse quality of life (p=0.001). Severe dental caries was associated with a negative impact on the OHRQoL of disabled children and of their families. The impact of untreated dental caries and severity of dental caries was associated with the CIS domains (except for the self-image/social interaction domain).

Objectives To test hypothetical models relating caregivers' social status, knowledge, and self‐efficacy to caregiver/child (C/C) oral health‐related outcomes. Methods One hundred fifty C/C pairs participated (recruitment = 87.7 percent). Three C/C outcomes were clinically assessed: “Oral self‐care”; “Functional dentitions”; and “Dental treatment needs.” Information about caregiver (CG) social status, knowledge, and self‐efficacy was also gathered. Structural equation modeling tested measurement models (MMs) for CG social status, CG knowledge, and CG self‐efficacy. The structural models (SMs) hypothesized causal paths among CG social status, CG knowledge, CG self‐efficacy, and C/C oral health outcomes. Results All three MMs had a good overall fit (nonsignificant χ2 estimates, Goodness of Fit Index >0.95, Normed Fit Index ~ >0.95, Confirmatory Fit Index >95, Root Mean Square Error Approximation <0.05). For the SMs, the best overall fit was for “Functional dentitions,” while SMs for “Oral self‐care,” and “Dental treatment needs” required revisions. In all the SMs, the path between “Caregiver social status” and “Caregiver knowledge” was significant. In the “C/C Functional dentitions” SM, the significant path linked “CG self‐efficacy” and “Child functional dentition.” In the “C/C Dental treatment needs” SM, the significant path linked “CG self‐efficacy” and “CG functional dentition.” Conclusions Hypothetical models for three oral health‐related outcomes were partly or fully validated.

Impact of untreated dental caries on the daily activities of children

Abstract: The presence of untreated dental caries among Brazilian children was associated with an impact on specific daily activities (difficulty eating and sleeping) and the psychological domain of OHRQoL.
