“…A previous study found that anterior open bite was negatively associated with the function domain, according to the perception of parents. 24 Moreover; parents of children with anterior open bite are more likely to categorize the oral health of their child as poor. 25 The evaluation of how oral health problems impact OHRQoL should be made with validated measures and detailed methods.…”

The aim of the study was to evaluate parental influence on children's answers to an oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) questionnaire. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a non-probabilistic sample of 84 pairs of 5-year-olds and parents/guardians. The participants were selected from a primary family healthcare center in Campina Grande, Brazil. First, the children and parents answered respective versions of the Scale of Oral Health Outcomes for Five-Year-Old Children (SOHO-5). Seven days later, the children answered their version of the SOHO-5, without the presence of their parents/guardians, and underwent a clinical exam of dental caries, traumatic dental injury and malocclusion, by a previously calibrated researcher. Statistical analysis involved a comparison of mean scores and the calculation of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Poisson regression models were used to associate the variables (α = 5%). No significant differences were found between the mean SOHO-5 scores of the children when alone or accompanied by parents/guardians (p > 0.05). The ICC between the answers of the children alone or accompanied was 0.84. White spot (PR = 6.32; 95%CI: 1.36 -29.40) and cavitated lesions (PR = 9.81; 95%CI: 3.22 -29.85) had an impact on OHRQoL, according to the children's self-report, whereas cavitated lesions (PR = 90.52; ) and anterior open bite (PR = 1.95; 95%IC: 1.07 -3.53) remained on the final model, according to the parents' version of the SOHO-5. In conclusion, parents did not influence the children's responses, and dental caries are the oral health problem exerting the greatest impact on the children's OHRQoL.

“…OHRQoL indices show buccal and dental disorders can impair social, psychological and physical activities, and disturb children's functional performance such as eating and speaking, psychological performance such as showing teeth and smiling without embarrassment, and social performance by damaging their social life [9,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

Objective: To estimate the impact of dental caries on the oral health-related quality of life of school children of public schools of Tubarão, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study on a sample of 42310-15 years old students was carried out. The prevalence of dental caries, dental trauma and malocclusion was observed by oral examination based on WHO criteria. The Oral Impact on Daily Performance indicator was used to collect data about the impact on quality of life related to children's oral health. The Chi-square test was used for bivariate analysis with significance levels set at p<0.05. Prevalence ratios (PR) and confidence intervals (95%) were estimated using log-linear Poisson regression with a robust estimator. Results: The prevalence of dental caries was 55.5%. The prevalence of impact on oral health related quality of life was 45.6%. OIDP dimensions significantly associated with dental caries were eating [PR = 1.45 (95%CI 1.06; 2.00)] (p = 0.021), sleeping [(PR = 2.29 (95%CI 1.15; 4.56)] (p = 0.018) and performing daily activities [PR = 2.57 (95%CI 1.06; 6.22)] (p = 0.036) after adjusting for gender, age and presence of dental trauma and malocclusion. Conclusion: Dental caries was found to be significantly associated with oral health-related quality of life of children in activities such as eating, sleeping, and performing daily activities.

“…21 In this age group, the early development of dental caries is considered a public health problem, due to its high prevalence and because it affects the individual's quality of life. 11 The relationship between individual determinants and different health conditions, dental caries among them, is infl uenced by the context in which the individuals dwell. 10 Previous studies have discussed the occurrence of these health problems as being related to a complex causal network which includes determinants related to individual characteristics and the social and geographical context in hierarchically organized levels.…”

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the infl uence of social inequalities of individual and contextual nature on untreated dental caries in Brazilian children. METHODS:The data on the prevalence of dental caries were obtained from the Brazilian Oral Health Survey (SBBrasil 2010) Project, an epidemiological survey of oral health with a representative sample for the country and each of the geographical micro-regions. Children aged fi ve (n = 7,217) in 177 municipalities were examined and their parents/guardians completed a questionnaire. Contextual characteristics referring to the municipalities in 2010 (mean income, fl uorodized water and proportion of residences with water supply) were supplied by the Fundação Instituto Brasileiro de Geografi a e Estatística (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics). Multilevel Poisson regression analysis models were used to assess associations. RESULTS:The prevalence of non-treated dental caries was 48.2%; more than half of the sample had at least one deciduous tooth affected by dental caries. The index of dental caries in deciduous teeth was 2.41, with higher fi gures in the North and Northeast. Black and brown children and those from lower income families had a higher prevalence of untreated dental caries. With regards context, the mean income in the municipality and the addition of fl uoride to the water supply were inversely associated with the prevalence of the outcome. CONCLUSIONS:Inequalities in the prevalence of untreated dental caries remain, affecting deciduous teeth of children in Brazil. Planning public policies to promote oral health should consider the effect of contextual factors as a determinant of individual risk.

Influence of maternal dental anxiety on oral health–related quality of life of preschool children

Abstract: Mean ECOHIS total score was not influenced by maternal dental anxiety. However, anxiety had a negative effect on the perception of the impact of the child's oral health problems in the family, affecting the parent distress domain.
