Abstract Objective: To test the hypothesis that several dimensions of the self-perceived psychosocial impacts of dental esthetics are not associated with grades of malocclusion, oral health–related quality-of-life measures, and body self-image in adolescents. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included a convenience sample of 301 adolescents (mean age 16.1 ± 1.8 years, 58.1% female subjects). Demographic data were collected and dental conditions were assessed. The Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) was used for assessment of malocclusion and determination of orthodontic treatment needs. The short form of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ), and the Body Satisfaction Scale (BSS) were used to measure adolescents' self-perceived variables. Results: All variables (DAI, OHIP-14, and BSS) were correlated with PIDAQ (P < .001). Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed significant associations (P < .001) of independent variables with the total score of PIDAQ (R2 = 0.29) and dental self-confidence (R2 = 0.30), social impact (R2 = 0.14), psychological impact (R2 = 0.23), and esthetic concern (R2 = 0.13). Conclusion: The hypothesis is rejected. A broad range of adolescents' self-perceived impact of dental esthetics is influenced by severity of malocclusion, oral health–related quality of life, and body satisfaction.

Abstract Background: Oral health-related quality of life includes the effect of factors such as oral health and oral function on people’s lifestyles. Chronic kidney disease is caused by the deterioration of kidney structures, decreasing their function. CKD causes some oral problems, and these problems could affect people’s quality of life. This study was conducted to determine OHRQoL and periodontal health status in CKD patients. Methods: One hundred and four CKD patients participated in the study. Their OHRQoL was assessed by Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14), and their periodontal status was assessed by the community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN). The stage of the disease was measured by BUN and creatinine. We used t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlation tests for statistical analyses. Results: The most frequent CKD stage was 5. The average total score of OHIP-14 in these patients was 14.82 (±4.86). The most frequent CPITN score was 2 (calculus). CPITN had a direct relationship with the total score of OHRQOL (P=0.004) and its physical domains (P<0.05). Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between periodontal status and OHRQoL in CKD patients. The quality of life in this group of patients might be improved by providing their periodontal treatment needs.

Introduction: Both psychological and social factors come to play when analyzing oral health-related quality of life, and recent developments have shown that more focus has been placed on patients’ own perceptions of oral health status and oral health care systems to understand their needs, fulfillment with treatment, and ultimately the perceived overall quality of health systems.Objective: To assess the impact of orthodontic treatment needs on oral health-related quality of life of dental students.Materials & Method: A cross-sectional study was done on a random sample of 100 dental students aged 17-23 years at the University of Medical Sciences & Technology in Sudan. Each subject was assessed for orthodontic treatment need using Dental Health Component (DHC) of Index of Orthodontic Treatment Needs (IOTN). Each subject was given an Oral health-related quality to life questionnaire to complete the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP).Result: The oral health-related quality of life was generally good. Those with ‘definite need for treatment’ showed higher impact on oral health in relation to functional limitation and physical pain, than those who had ‘borderline need’, ‘little need’, or ‘no need for treatment’. Males with ‘borderline’ and ‘definite need for treatment’ generally showed higher impact on oral health than the female counterpart. However, this was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Malocclusion does not seem to affect the oral health-related quality of life to a significant degree.

The introduction of the measurement of Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) into a comprehensive assessment is highly significant, since it provides essential information by considering the treatment needs of each individual and population from their own perspective. Likewise, it is an important tool for the assessment of interventions, services and public health programs, especially those aimed at children and adolescents, since they are one of the main objective groups of the dental services. The aim of this paper is to review the main available instruments for measuring OHRQoL, especially in children. Measuring quality of life according to the oral health status is subjective, since it is influenced by different factors that cannot be observed in a direct manner. These instruments were developed for that purpose and represent dimensions that seek to value the personal psychosocial perception of each individual. Several health problems affect the QoL of children and adolescents, including: DDQ, Michigan OH, OH-ECQOL, SOHO-5, ECOHIS, Child-DPQ, Child-OHIP, Child-OIDP, CPQ8-10, CPQ11-14, DFTO, IFAQ, MIQ, P-CPQ, PedsQ1 OH, POQL, among others.

Abstract Background Health-related quality of life (HQoL) indicators are considered valid measures of patient assessment in physical, mental and oral healthcare. This study aimed to examine the evidence on the relationship of oral health status, demographic and socioeconomic characteristics with oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in children. Methods Studies in English published up to December 2019 were searched on PsycINFO, PubMed, SciELO, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Epidemiological studies simultaneously assessing sociodemographic factors related to oral health (age, income, gender, maternal education), oral health measures (orthodontic treatment needs, dental caries and periodontal disease) and OHRQoL in children aged 3–12 years were included. Methodological quality was assessed using a Critical Appraisal Checklist. Meta-analysis was used to estimate pooled measures between sociodemographic factors and oral health measures with OHRQoL. Results Eleven articles were included. Lower children’s age (3–5 years vs > 5), gender (girls vs boys), lower income (< 70$ vs ≥ $70), low maternal education (≤ 6 vs > 6 years) were associated with poor OHRQoL among children. Orthodontic treatment needs, dental caries and periodontal diseases were also associated with poor children’s OHRQoL. Meta-regression showed that Human Development Index, sample size, year of publication and participant’s age were relevant aspects that influenced the above mentioned relationships. Conclusions Our findings suggest that oral health promotion strategies to improve children’s OHRQoL should consider the social and environmental where they live as well their oral health status. Further longitudinal studies are needed to explore the determinants of OHQoL in children.

High levels of oral health problems have a negative impact on the quality of life for pregnant women. The research objective was to determine caries’ experience, periodontal conditions, treatment needs, and oral health-related quality of life of pregnant women. Methods: Descriptive method with purposive sampling technique. Data were collected from 50 patients at Ibrahim Adjie Community Health Centre (Puskesmas). The DMF-T index measured caries experience, the periodontal condition was measured by the Community Periodontal Index for Treatment Needs (CPITN), and the quality of life was measured using the OHIP-14 questionnaire. Results: The DMF-T index for pregnant women was 9.86, which included in the moderate criteria. The CPITN results were 0% had healthy periodontal tissue, 0% experienced bleeding on probing, 68% had calculus, 32% had 4-5 mm pocket depth, and 0% had more than 6 mm pocket depth. Improved oral hygiene, scaling and eliminating plaque retentive factors were the types of periodontal tissue treatment needed in pregnant women. The oral health-related quality of life of pregnant women was in a good category, with the dimensions that impact the quality of life were pain, physical disability, and psychological disability. Conclusion: The caries experience of pregnant women at Ibrahim Adjie Community Health Centre is in moderate criteria. Periodontal tissue conditions mostly experience gingivitis, which requires treatment to improve oral hygiene, scaling and removing plaque retentive factors. The oral health-related quality of life is generally in the good category. The dimensions of pain, physical disability, and psychological disability are the conditions that have the most impact on the quality of life.Keywords: Pregnant women, DMF-T index, CPITN, quality of life.
