“…14,20 The comparison of results of overall and domain scores of the CPQ 11-14 instrument at baseline and 3-year follow up demonstrated that study participants had an improvement in their OHRQoL over time. This reduction in the prevalence of impacts across the whole sample over time was also observed in in the few longitudinal studies already published, 16,18,19 using the same OHRQoL instrument. One hypothesis, based on the theoretical underpinnings of OHRQoL 1,14,25,29 is that the improvement may have occurred due to changes in the self-perception of body image, as well as changes in psychological, socioeconomic and environmental factors of adolescents at age 12 and 15, which may have directly influenced on their OHRQoL.…”

“…This fact could be expected a priori due to several factors, including the absence of clinical changes and no pain and discomfort related to dental caries over time. 2,18 On the other hand, worsening CPQ 11-14 scores over time were observed among the DMFT increment group. In this group, the Functional Limitation (FL) domain of CPQ 11-14 presented worsening over time, with a statistically significant difference between Table 5.…”

“…2,13 Analysis of responsiveness makes it easier for researchers and policy makers to interpret quality of life scores over time, and to thus determine the magnitude of the change measured by a specific question. 13,14 Although there have been some publications evaluating longitudinally OHRQoL changes in children and adolescents 2,7,14,15,16,17,18 , few have investigated the responsiveness properties of the CPQ 11-14 instrument. 2,9,19 To our knowledge, there are only three published studies that investigated the responsiveness of CPQ 11-14 , one that investigated Cambodian children taking part in basic dental care programs 19 , and two that evaluated adolescents in New Zealand.…”

This study aimed to assess the effect of caries increment on Oral Health-related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) of Brazilian adolescents and to evaluate the responsiveness of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ 11-14) in this group. A population-based sample of 515 Brazilian 12-year-olds from a large city located in the southeast of Brazil was evaluated according to a random multistage sampling design at baseline and 291 at three years follow-up, using the DMFT index and the CPQ 11-14 instrument. To evaluate the responsiveness to change, the measures of effect size and longitudinal construct validity were used. It was verified that OHRQoL among adolescents with DMFT increment across the three years worsened significantly (p<0.05) in relation to their counterparts. The effect size varied from small to moderate. The longitudinal construct validity of CPQ 11-14 was satisfactory. Caries increment impacted on OHRQoL of adolescents in Brazil. The CPQ 11-14 instrument demonstrated acceptable responsiveness properties.

“…Dental pain and using a mouth rinse were not significantly correlated with the DMFT scores of mother and child, but these two variables were related to the DT scores. Brondani et al (2018) reported that dental treatment resulted in a significant improvement in the Oral Healthrelated Quality of Life (OHRQoL) of the evaluated adolescents. Children's dental care can improve their OHRQoL, and, as such, children's teeth should not be left untreated.…”

Aim The aim of this study was to examine the oral health-related behaviors in mothers and their children and the prevalence of dental caries in both. Subject and methods A sample of 2536 children and their mothers was selected from the Fifth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Variables were analyzed using multiple regression to evaluate the prevalence of dental caries among children and mothers, demographic socioeconomic status, and oral health-related behaviors.Results The average age of the mothers was 40.28 years and that of the children was 10.88 years. Mean DT scores were 0.67 for mothers and 0.29 for children. Mean DMFT scores were 6.63 for mothers and 1.76 for children. The higher the mother's number of decayed, missing, or filled permanent teeth (DMFT score, B = 0.076, P < 0.001) and number of decayed teeth (DT score, B = 0.032, P = 0.038) in their permanent dentition, the higher the children's DMFT score was for their permanent dentition. Children from mothers with low household income levels (B = 0.159, P = 0.043), with dental pain (B = 0.132, P = 0.032), and not using a dental mouth rinse (B = 0.135, P = 0.007) presented with higher DT scores. Children from mothers with low self-perceived oral health status (B = 0.113, P < 0.001), lower usage of dental floss (B = 0.100, P = 0.012), a lower ratio of protein intake to total energy (B = −0.017, P = 0.014), and lower ratio of fat intake (B = −0.009, P = 0.047) showed lower self-perceived oral health status. Conclusion The better the oral health status of the mother, the better the oral health status of the child was. An effective oral health and education program for mothers should be developed to promote an improved oral health status of their children.

“…This was evident in recent systematic reviews, which concluded that children with a high dental caries rate have poor school attendance and poor academic achievement . In a longitudinal study, when treatments for decayed teeth were provided, significant improvement on OHRQoL was demonstrated among South Brazilian adolescents …”

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.
