“…The results of the present study confirm the data in the literature on the impact of oral health conditions on children's OHRQoL and highlight the importance of dental health programs in providing dental caries treatment aimed at improving people's OHRQoL. Moreover, it shows that the CPQ 8‐10 instrument was responsive to dental treatment in children.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of dental caries treatment on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among schoolchildren and the responsiveness of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ8-10 ) instrument. Brazilian schoolchildren, 8-10 yr of age, were randomly selected and assigned to two groups--dental caries treatment (DCT) and caries-free (CF)--according to their caries experience [decayed, missing, or filled primary teeth (dmft) and decayed, missing or filled secondary teeth (DMFT) values of ≥ 0]. The CPQ8-10 instrument was administered at baseline and at 4 wk of follow-up (i.e. 4 wk after completion of dental treatment). In the DCT group, increases in CPQ8-10 scores were observed between the baseline and follow-up results. However, longitudinal evaluation of the CF group demonstrated no statistically significant difference in CPQ8-10 scores. Responsiveness of the CPQ8-10 instrument (magnitude of change in CPQ8-10 scores) in the DCT group was greater (effect size >0.7) than in the CF group. The findings of this study show that dental caries treatment has an important impact on OHRQoL of children. The CPQ8-10 was considered an acceptable instrument for longitudinal measurement of changes in OHRQoL.

“…Another possible route would be related to the connections among self‐perceptions about oral health, social class discrimination and affectivity that could imply on bullying at this age. Some researches have highlighted these relationships; however, as we did not assess these relationships, future studies are needed to test the hypotheses.…”

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry 2018; 28: 43-51Background. Although SOHO-5 has been validated, there is no study testing this instrument in population-based samples. Aims. To evaluate the impact of demographic and oral clinical variables on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in 5-year-old children from a socially deprived Brazilian area using selfreports. Design. Data from 588 children were analyzed. Examinations included untreated dental caries and occlusal deviations. Children answered the Brazilian SOHO-5 version and interviewers collected demographic characteristics of the child (sex and skin color). Robust Poisson regression associated outcome and exposures.Results. General, the oral impacts were reported by 71.1% of children. The mean and standard deviation total score of the Brazilian SOHO-5 were 3.51 and 3.82, respectively. Children with untreated dental caries (PR = 1.28; P = 0.004) and increased overjet (PR = 1.35; P = 0.002) experienced a worse OHRQoL. Dark and mixed skin color children did not have a good impact on their OHRQoL (PR = 1.53; P = 0.006 and PR = 1.44; P < 0.000, respectively) compared to light ones. Conclusions. Untreated dental caries and increased overjet were independently associated with worst OHRQoL in 5-year-old children. As an indication of social deprivation, dark and mixed skin color children compared to light ones presented higher probability for reporting worst OHRQoL independently of the oral clinical conditions.

“…Negative affectivity has been described as a general disposition to experience negative mood states, and has been found to be consistently negatively related to healthrelated quality of life indicating that personality as well as underlying health can influence self-ratings of healthrelated quality of life [22,23]. However, a study found that positive and negative affectivity did not substantially diminish the effect of established explanatory variables such as oral health status, socioeconomic status and dental visiting pattern confirming their independent effects on oral health-related quality of life [24]. In this study, the observation that objective measures such as missing teeth were associated with optimism reinforces the likelihood that this would be reflected in more subjective measures of oral health-related quality of life.…”
