Abstract Background Childhood dental caries can affect the children’s and their parents’ oral health-related quality of life. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of oral and dental health conditions on the oral health-related quality of life in preschool children and their parents. Methods In this descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study, samples were selected from children 3 to 6 years old enrolled in licensed kindergartens using "proportional allocation" sampling. Then, the parents of the children were asked to complete the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS). Results In this study, 350 children aged 3 to 6 years were evaluated with a mean age of 4.73 years. The mean dmft index (decayed, missed, and filled teeth) was 3.94 ± 4.17. The mean score of oral health-related quality of life was 11.88 ± 6.9, which 9.36 ± 5.02 belongs to the impact on children and 2.52 ± 3.20 to parents' impact. Conclusions The mean score of ECOHIS increased with the dmft index increase in children, indicating a significant relationship between the dmft and ECOHIS score. These outcomes can be used as proper resources to develop preventive policies and promote oral health in young children.

Aim: This study presents the prevalence of dental caries and its relation to the quality of life of adolescents according to the access to dental health services. Methods: Two hundred and fifty-six adolescents between 15 and 19 years of age participated in the study; they were all enrolled in public schools in a countryside municipality of the São Paulo State. Data related to dental caries were evaluated by the DMFT Index, and OHIP-14 was used for evaluating the quality of life. Mann Whitney and Spearmann correlation tests were also used (p<0.05). Results: A DMFT of 3.09 (±3.30) was found with a higher prevalence among the adolescents who used public dental services (3.43±3.34) compared with those who used private services (2.94±3.28). A statistically significant relationship between the decay component of DMFT with physical pain (0.020), physical disability (0.002) and quality of life (0.017) was verified. Conclusions: A low prevalence of dental caries was observed, and it was higher in adolescents who used public oral health services rather than private ones, evidencing the low influence of oral health on the quality of life of the participants.

ABSTRACT Objective The aim was to evaluate the prevalence of dental caries, periodontal disease and edentulism in morbidly obese and bariatric patients, and to verify the oral health impact on quality of life. Methods We evaluated 33 morbidly obese patients (G1) and 50 patients submitted to bariatric surgery (G2). The DMFT, CPI, prosthetic status and prosthetic need for edentulism were used to analyze oral conditions. The impact of oral health on quality of life was assessed using the OIDP questionnaire. Results CPOD were G1: 9.0±7.0 and G2: 13.3±8.0 (p= 0.020). The dental calculus was the worst periodontal condition G1: 72.7% and G2: 80.0% (p= 0.752). The majority of G1 and G2 patients did not use (p = 0.878) and did not need (p= 0.132) dental prosthesis. The mean of OIDP was G1: 11.2±23.8 and G2: 14.16±23.8 (p= 0.089). Conclusion It concluded that bariatric patients have a higher prevalence of dental caries and the need for dental prostheses is related to the impact of oral health on the quality of life of obese patients.

The Impact

Dental caries affects most of preschoolers and has important consequences for the development and quality of life of affected children. Aim: To describe the epidemiological status of dental caries in preschoolers in Salvador-BA- Brazil and evaluate the impact of this oral disease on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), considering sociodemographic characteristics. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional study in a representative sample of preschool children in Salvador-BA- Brazil. Caries was assessed using dmft and the impact on quality of life used the B-ECOHIS (Brazilian version of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale). Data collection took place in 2018 through, thorough clinical examination and questionnaire application. Descriptive, univariate, and multivariate analyzes were performed using robust Poisson regression, with a significance level of 5%. Results: 1591 children were examined, and the prevalence of caries was 36.46%. The presence of early caries (adjusted PR = 2.07; 1.82-2.34 95% CI), severe caries (PR = 2.07; 1.84-2.33 95% CI) and child oldest age (adjusted PR = 1.55; 1.36-1.77 95% CI) were associated with children's OHRQoL; child oldest age (adjusted PR = 1.42; 1.19-1.69 95% CI), the presence of early caries (adjusted PR = 2.65; 2.22-3.16 95% CI), severe caries (PR = 3.07; 2.63-3.60 CI 95%) and the number of people in the household (PR = 1.46; 1.22-1.73 CI 95%) were associated with Family OHRQoL. Conclusion: The children evaluated had a high prevalence and severity of early caries. Worst oral health and sociodemographic conditions had a negative impact on the OHRQoL of children and their families.

Abstract: Differences in the incidence rate of dental caries (DMF-T) between men and women aged 12-14 years. Dental and oral health is the well-being of the oral cavity which enables a person to communicate effectively, enjoy various foods, be confident, and improve a better quality of life. Poor dental and oral health can result in disruption of masticatory function due to tooth malfunction. One form of tooth decay is dental caries. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of dental caries (DMF-T) between men and women in children aged 12-14 years at SMPN 10 Kota Kupang. This study uses a descriptive study that describes the incidence of dental caries between men and women aged 12-14 years in SMP Negeri 10 Kota Kupang. A sample of 66 people was taken 100% of the population. The results showed as many as 66 children as respondents consisting of 33 male respondents as many as 18 children affected by caries with very low criteria, while 33 female respondents were only 13 children with moderate criteria. It was concluded that the incidence rate of dental caries in boys was very low and the rate of dental caries in girls was moderate. Abstrak: Perbedaan Tingkat Kejadian Karies Gigi (DMF-T) antara Laki-Laki dan Perempuan Usia 12-14 Tahun. Kesehatan gigi dan mulut adalah kesejahteraan rongga mulut yang memungkinkan seseorang untuk berkomunikasi secara efektif, menikmati berbagai makanan, percaya diri dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup yang lebih baik. Kesehatan gigi dan mulut yang buruk dapat mengakibatkan terganggunya fungsi pengunyahan yang disebabkan karena tidak berfungsinya gigi. Salah satu bentuk dari kerusakan gigi adalah karies gigi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tingkat kejadian karies gigi (DMF-T) antara laki-laki dan perempuan pada anak usia 12-14 tahun di SMPN 10 Kota Kupang. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian deskriptif yaitu menggambarkan tingkat kejadian karies gigi antara laki-laki dan perempuan usia 12-14 tahun di SMP Negeri 10 Kota Kupang. Sampel berjumlah 66 orang diambil 100% dari populasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebanyak 66 anak sebagai responden yang terdiri dari 33 responden laki-laki sebanyak 18 anak terkena karies dengan kriteria sangat rendah, sedangkan 33 responden perempuan hanya 13 anak dengan kriteria sedang. Disimpulkan bahwa tingkat kejadian karies gigi pada anak laki-laki termasuk kriteria sangat rendah dan tingkat kejadian karies gigi pada anak perempuan termasuk kriteria sedang.

Oral Impacts

This study was a part of the 7th National Oral Health Survey of Thailand and aimed to assess overall and condition-specific oral health–related quality of life of 12 and 15 year olds. Oral impacts were assessed using the Child-Oral Impacts on Daily Performances Index for 12 year olds and the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances index for 15 year olds. Overall oral impacts and condition-specific oral impacts (CS-impacts) were calculated. Detailed characteristics of CS-impacts were analyzed. Seventy-five percent of 12 year olds and 70.1% of 15 year olds had one or more oral impacts. CS-impacts attributed to dental caries were 37.8% and 36.5% for 12 and 15 year olds, respectively, followed by CS-impacts attributed to periodontal diseases and oral lesions. Dental caries was the most important cause of oral impacts. The severe impacts on daily performances of 12 year olds were mainly caused by dental caries, while those of 15 year olds related to dental caries and oral lesions. The majority of Thai children and adolescents experienced oral impacts. CS-impacts attributed to dental caries were most prevalent and most severe.
