“…Fewer studies have compared child OHRQoL according to the number of teeth affected by caries [1, 29, 30]. In a cohort study of Brazilian preschool children, a greater number of new dental caries lesions in 2 years had a greater impact on OHRQoL [30]. The results of our present analysis suggest that both the number of affected teeth and where in the mouth those teeth are located are predictive of OHRQoL longitudinally.…”

“…Previous findings reported that deeper caries lesions have a greater OHRQoL impact than moderate or non‐cavitated lesions [4, 28]. Fewer studies have compared child OHRQoL according to the number of teeth affected by caries [1, 29, 30]. In a cohort study of Brazilian preschool children, a greater number of new dental caries lesions in 2 years had a greater impact on OHRQoL [30].…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of different patterns of dental caries on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) throughout early childhood. This birth cohort study followed 277 children from southern Brazil for 6 years.Demographic and socioeconomic variables were collected at birth. At age 3 years, children's dental caries experience was quantified by the decayed, missing, or filled teeth (dmft) index. At age 6 years, parents answered the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS). Poisson regression models were used to estimate associations between caries experience and later OHRQoL, presented as the ratio of ECOHIS scores between the groups. The prevalence of dental caries at 3 years of age was 37.5%. In children with caries, lesions only in anterior teeth, only in posterior teeth, and in both dental segments at age 3 were associated with age 6 ECOHIS scores that were 2.7, 7.8, and 6.2 times higher, respectively, than in children without dental caries experience. OHRQoL was worse among children with higher dmft scores. Dental caries lesions in posterior teeth by age 3 years was strongly predictive of adverse impacts on later OHRQoL, presumably as an indicator of continued disease experience in the intervening years.

“…They concluded that the severity of the oral condition was directly proportionated with the parental sensation of guilt [27]. Also, a study conducted by Guedes et al proved the significant association between acquiring of new carious lesions among 352 preschool children who were tracked for 2 years and high family distress scores [41].…”

Objectives To compare oral health–related quality of Life (OHRQOL) of preschool children’s anterior teeth restored with prefabricated zirconia crowns (ZC) versus resin-bonded composite strip crown (RCSC). Materials and methods A prospective clinical trial included 136 children with early childhood caries aged 36–71 months who were assigned into prefabricated ZC and RCSC groups. A total of 344 teeth were restored either with 170 ZCs (49.4%) and 174 RCSCs (50.6%). Wilson and Cleary’s conceptual model was to associate the study predictors to the OHRQOL. Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) was used to assess the OHRQOL at 6 and 12 months. Mann–Whitney U test was used in comparing OHRQOL mean scores in the two groups and Wilcoxon signed-rank test with the effect size (r) to measure the intragroup OHRQOL change. A Poisson regression model was used to study potential risk factors associated with the overall OHRQOL. Results After 12 months, the USPHS parameters of the ZC were significantly superior compared to the RCSC. Overall ECOHIS mean scores in the ZC group were significantly lower than that of the RCSC group at T1 and T2 (p < 0.001). Remarkable enhancement of the OHRQOL at the follow-ups with a large effect size (r < 0.8) was observed. Restoration type, retention, baseline OHRQOL, and color had a significant impact on the overall OHRQOL at 12 months. Conclusions Preschool children OHRQOL treated with ZC were significantly better than those who received RCSC. Clinical relevance One of the optimum treatment standards in pediatric dentistry is the esthetic demand which has significance on the child’s OHRQOL and subsequently child’s general health quality of life. It is beneficial to the dentist to identify the influence of esthetic restorations on the OHRQOL of preschool children which aids in future decision-making. The longitudinal nature of the study enables the dentist to identify the changes of children’s OHRQOL.

Impacto de la caries dental sobre la calidad de vida en preescolares peruanos Impact of dental caries on their quality of life in preschools peruvians Tania Adriana Cosme Raymundo RESUMEN Objetivo: Determinar el impacto de la caries dental sobre la calidad de vida en preescolares. Materiales y métodos: fue un estudio de tipo observacional, correlacional, transversal y prospectivo en el cual participaron 200 padres de familia, quienes completaron los cuestionarios de ECOHIS; niños evaluados clínicamente utilizando el criterio de diagnóstico ICDAS; y un solo examinador calibrado por un Gold Estándar, presentando un Kappa inter e intraexaminador de 0.79 y 0.81 respectivamente. El análisis estadístico que se utilizó fue Chi cuadrado. Resultados: El impacto de la caries dental en la calidad de vida utilizándose la herramienta de ECOHIS fue considerado medio. El grado de instrucción de los padres no mostró ser una variable que influencie ésta percepción, no encontrándose diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p=0.53). Respecto a la prevalencia de caries dental según el criterio ICDAS fue de 94% y adaptándolo a la OMS fue de 82%. El c3-6po-d medio de la población fue de 5.05, lo que confirma que la enfermedad estuvo presente en un alto número de los niños de 3 a 5 años evaluados. Conclusiones: A pesar de constatarse una alta prevalencia de caries dental en los niños, dicha afección tuvo un impacto medio en la calidad de vida de los mismos, según la percepción de sus padres de familia. Palabras claves: Calidad de vida; ICDAS; caries dental; Caries de infancia Temprana.
