“…The growing concern for oral health as part of general health, and the new concept of impacts of oral diseases on quality of life, is gaining global attention. However, in many deprived communities, and low‐ and middle‐income countries, the matter is either not sufficiently studied or findings not sufficiently implemented, adding supportive evidence on disparities in outcomes of OHRQoL …”

Objectives:To evaluate the impact of untreated dental caries and its consequences on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), school absenteeism and school performance in Nepal.Methods: This is a population-based, national cross-sectional study. This study was conducted among three WHO index age groups (5-6, 12-and 15-year-olds) of schoolchildren from 18/75 randomly selected districts of Nepal. Clinical findings on untreated dental caries lesions (decay in primary and permanent dentition, dt/DT) and its consequences (pufa/PUFA) were recorded, and the participants were graded into four categories based on the severity of untreated dental caries (GUDC). The Nepali version of Child-Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (C-OIDP) was used to assess the information on OHRQoL. Similarly, school-related information (school absenteeism and school performance) was collected from the school registry. Generalized linear mixed models with random effects were used to evaluate the association between dental caries and OHRQoL, school absenteeism and school performance.Results: Among the study sample, the mean (SD) C-OIDP score was 2.4 (5.0). It was observed that the 15-year-olds, those belonging to the Newari ethnic group, and children with high GUDC grades had poor OHRQoL. After adjusting for confounding factors, high dt + DT or pufa + PUFA was associated with higher impact on OHRQoL.Similarly, lower grades of GUDC (Grade 1 and Grade 2) also had less impact on OHRQoL than the most severe Grade 4. High dt + DT or pufa + PUFA were associated with maximum school absenteeism. Furthermore, high C-OIDP and a grade of GUDC ≥2 score were associated with poor school performance.Conclusion: Untreated dental caries and its consequences have a considerable impact on OHRQoL. These conditions may contribute to high school absenteeism and poor school performance.

“…Differences in OHRQoL were also found between Hispanic and white elderly in the US [ 36 ]. Recently, differences in OHRQoL were studied between groups with and without a migration background, in a German population which was based on clinical orthodontic patients and students [ 37 ]. In accordance with our study, they have shown that children and adolescents with a migration background score lower OHRQoL than non-migrants, which was partly explained by socioeconomic and oral health status.…”

Ethnic background and children’s oral health-related quality of life

Purpose Ethnic background is known to be related to oral health and socioeconomic position (SEP). In the context of patient-centered oral health care, and the growing number of migrant children, it is important to understand the influence of ethnic background on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Therefore, we aimed to identify the differences in children’s OHRQoL between ethnic groups, and the contribution of oral health status, SEP, and immigration characteristics. Methods This study was part of the Generation R Study, a prospective cohort study conducted in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. In total, 3121 9-year-old children with a native Dutch ( n = 2510), Indonesian ( n = 143), Moroccan ( n = 104), Surinamese ( n = 195), or Turkish ( n = 169) background participated in the present study. These ethnicities comprise the most common ethnic groups in the Netherlands. OHRQoL was assessed using a validated short form of the child oral health impact profile. Several regression models were used to study an association between ethnic background and OHRQoL, and to identify potential mediating factors. Results Turkish and Surinamese ethnic background were significantly associated with lower OHRQoL. After adjusting for mediating factors, only Surinamese children had a significantly lower OHRQoL than Dutch children (β:− 0.61; 95% CI− 1.18 to –0.04). Conclusions Our results show that Turkish and Surinamese children have a significantly lower OHRQoL than native Dutch children. The association was partly explained by oral health status and SEP, and future studies are needed to understand (cultural) the determinants of ethnic disparities in OHRQoL, in order to develop effective oral health programs targeting children of different ethnic groups.

“…Dünya çapındaki yüksek göç oranı göz önüne alındığında, göç geçmişi olan kişilerde ağız hastalıklarının önlenmesi, özellikle çocuklar ve ergenler için önemli bir halk sağlığı sorununu temsil etmektedir (10). Sosyoekonomik durumun yanı sıra, köken, kültür ve çevresel faktörlerden de etkilenen ağız sağlığı konusunda pek çok araştırma yapılmıştır (7)(8)(9)(10).…”

“…Almanya'da yapılan bir araştırmada göçmen çocuklar iki grupta sınıflandırılmıştır: (i) bir ebeveyn yabancı bir ülkede doğmuş (tek taraflı göçmen geçmişi) ve (ii) her iki ebeveyn ve/veya kendisi yabancı bir ülkede doğmuş çocuk (çift taraflı geçiş geçmişi). Çift taraflı geçmişi olan çocukların ve ergenlerin ağız sağlığı ile ilgili yaşam kalitesinin tek taraflı olanlara göre daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür (10). Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nde yapılan bir çalışmada yine göçmen nüfusta ağız ve diş sağlığının belirgin olarak düşük olduğu bulunmuş ve bu göçmenler arasında da farklı ırklar arasında ciddi bir fark göze çarpmıştır (16).…”

Kayıtlara göre 2020 yılında yaklaşık 272 milyon uluslararası göçmen bulunmaktadır ve bu sayı gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Dünyada olduğu gibi Türkiye’de de göçmen sayısı artmaktadır ve 2020 itibarıyla 5.876.829 uluslararası göçmen bulunmaktadır. Uluslararası göçmenler içinde çocuk göçmen oranı ise 2020 yılında %13,9 olarak tahmin edilmektedir. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü'ne (WHO) göre, ağız hastalıkları en yaygın sağlık sorunlarından biridir. Diş çürükleri, ağız hastalıklarının en sık görülen şeklidir ve dünya çapında hem çocukları hem de yetişkinleri etkileyen bir halk sağlığı sorunu olarak kabul edilmektedir ve genellikle bireylerin ve toplulukların yaşam kalitesinde önemli bir azalmaya yol açmaktadır. Son araştırmalar, göçmen popülasyonların diş çürüklerinden yerli popülasyonlara göre daha fazla etkilendiğini göstermektedir. Sosyoekonomik durumun yanı sıra köken, kültür ve çevresel faktörlerden de etkilenen ağız sağlığı konusunda pek çok araştırma yapılmıştır. Bu araştırmalara göre mülteci ve göçmen topluluklarda çocukların ağız sağlığını etkileyen sosyokültürel faktörler anlaşılmalıdır. Bu faktörleri anlamak ve kabul etmek, ağız sağlığını iyileştirmek için nerede ve nasıl müdahale edileceğini belirlemek için bir ön koşuldur.
