ABSTRACT Aim This paper describes a case of an eruption hematoma in a 20-month-old boy and the impact of this hematoma on the quality of life (QoL) related to oral health of this infant and his family. Background Eruption hematoma is a soft benign cyst that contains blood and overlie a tooth that are about to erupt. Oral health conditions can affect the QoL and bring psychological impacts. Case report The proposed treatment was based on oral hygiene instruction, normal diet and massage on the lesion area. A weekly follow-up visits up to the spontaneous regression at the 6 weeks of the lesion was conducted. The impact on QoL was assessed though the Brazilian version of the early childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (B-ECOHIS) questionnaire before and after 2 months of the hematoma regression. Conclusion The presence of eruption hematoma impacted, physically and emotionally, the QoL related to oral health of the child and his family, and this impact decreased when the eruption hematoma disappeared. Clinical significance It is important the knowledge of the dentists about eruption cyst/hematoma to make the correct decisions to improve the QoL of their patients and families.

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.

Abstract: Oral health is an integral part of an individual’s general health, interfering with all dimensions of life: functional, aesthetic, psychological, social, physical, nutritional, and even psychosocial. Hence oral health is directly related to quality of life. Periodontitis is one of the most prevalent oral diseases and one of the major causes of tooth loss, impacting negatively on self-reported individuals’ quality of life. Periodontal maintenance therapy aims to effectively minimize the recurrence of periodontal disease, as well as the incidence of tooth loss. In periodontal literature, studies associated with quality of life indicators, presented in the form of questionnaires aimed at measuring the impact of periodontitis and tooth loss on self-reported individual’s quality of life, highlight the "Oral Impacts on Daily Performance" (OIDP) and "Oral Health Impact Profile" (OHIP). As such, this study presents a critical review of the literature and describes the impact of periodontal disease and tooth loss on the quality of life of patients undergoing periodontal maintenance therapy.

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of malocclusion severity on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of non-white adolescents. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 585 non-white Brazilian adolescents (12-15 years). The Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) was used for the clinical assessment of malocclusion and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) on OHRQoL. Deep bite and transverse occlusal relationships were assessed in association with the DAI. The adolescents with DAI 3 and 4 were distributed into 4 groups: G1 - individuals without transverse occlusal relationships or deep bite; G2 - individuals with only posterior crossbite; G3 - individuals with only deep bite; and G4 - individuals with Brodie bite. The backward stepwise procedure was used to select variables on each level, eliminating variables with a p≤0.20. From the logistic regression analyses, the adjusted odds ratios were estimated with the respective 95% confidence intervals. The adolescents with severe malocclusion divided into the G2, G3 and G4 showed p-value of 0.0501, 0.1475, and 0.5407, respectively, but did not remain in the final model. Malocclusion severity had no impact on the OHRQoL of non-white adolescents.

Abstract Chemical dependency is a chronic disease, which in addition to generating catastrophic consequences throughout the social structure, favors the appearance of oral alterations, which are influential factors in the quality of life of these individuals. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of oral health status, self-perception, oral hygiene habits and access to dental services in the quality of life of drug addicts. This is a quantitative cross-sectional exploratory study with chemical dependents living in poverty in a rehabilitation center.  The data collection was divided in two phases, the first with the application of two research instruments, a survey built exclusively for this study and the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). The second phase was performed the DMFT index (decayed, missing and restored teeth). In the analysis of the data, the OHIP-14 was processed by the additive method, and dichotomized by low median and high impact. The bivariate analyzes were performed with the independent variables using the chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test with a significance level of 5%. 38 individuals in a state of recovery and social reinsertion were part of the study. There were statistically significant associations between quality of life and tooth pain in the last 6 months, need for dental treatment, xerostomia, DMFT, and daily toothbrushing number. It was concluded that there was the impact of oral health condition, self-perception and habits of hygiene on the quality of life of chemical dependents. However, no statistically significant associations were found regarding access to dental services.Keywords: Oral Health. Substance-Related Disorders. Public Health.ResumoA dependência química é uma doença crônica, que além de gerar consequências catastróficas em toda a estrutura social, favorece o surgimento de alterações bucais, que são fatores influentes na qualidade de vida destes indivíduos. Objetivou-se investigar o impacto da condição de saúde bucal, autopercepção, hábitos de higiene oral e acesso aos serviços odontológicos na qualidade de vida de dependentes químicos. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório transversal quantitativo com dependentes químicos em situação de pobreza de um centro de reabilitação. A coleta dos dados foi divida em duas fases, sendo a primeira com aplicação de dois instrumentos de pesquisa, um inquérito construído exclusivamente para este estudo e o Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). A segunda fase foi realizada o índice CPO-D (dentes cariados peridos e restaurados). Para análise dos dados, o OHIP-14 foi processado pelo método aditivo, e  dicotomizado pela mediana em baixo e alto impacto. A partir disto, foram feitas as análises bivariadas com as variáveis independentes utilizando o teste Qui-quadrado e Exato de Fisher com nível de significancia em 5%. Fizeram parte do estudo 38 indivíduos em estado de recuperação e reinserção social. Verificouse associações estatisticamente significantes entre a qualidade de vida e a dor de dente nos últimos 6 meses, necessidade de tratamento odontológico, xerostomia, CPO-D e número de escovação dentária diária. Conclui-se que houve o impacto da condição de saúde bucal, autopercepção e hábitos de higiene horal na qualidade de vida dos dependentes químicos. Entretanto, não foram encontradas associações significantes em relação ao acesso aos serviços odontológicos.Palavras-chave: Saúde Bucal. Transtornos Relacionados ao Uso de Substâncias.

Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to assess the impact of orthognathic surgery for dental facial deformities on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in the immediate postoperative period up to at least 1 year after surgery. Study design This prospective study evaluated data from 85 patients. OHRQoL was assessed using the Dutch version of the Oral Health Impact Profile questionnaire (OHIP-14NL) preoperatively (T0), each day for 7 days postoperatively (T1–T7) and 4 weeks (T8), 6 months (T9), and at least 1 year (T10) after surgery. The total OHIP score was calculated for each patient, with higher OHIP scores indicating a worse impact on oral health. Patients also completed an extra questionnaire about self-care, discomfort, and experienced pain (rated on a 10-point scale) in the postoperative period (T1–T10). Results The mean OHIP score increased sharply at T1 compared to T0 but decreased significantly in the first postoperative week. The mean OHIP score at T8 was still higher than before surgery. However, at T9 and T10, the mean OHIP score was significantly lower than at T0 (P < .05). No significant difference in OHIP score was found between gender, age, type of surgery, and indication for surgery. Pain significantly decreased from T6 to T0. The OHIP and pain scores significantly positively correlated at every time point except T9. Conclusion The findings indicate that OHRQoL is reduced from baseline in the immediate postoperative period but improves over time. By 1 year, OHRQoL improves significantly after orthognathic surgery in patients with dentofacial deformities.

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between dental service utilization and oral health-related quality of life status in preschool children. Materials and methods In this cross-sectional study, 165 five-year-old preschool children (F/M: 77/88) were included. Data were collected by clinical examinations, a questionnaire regarding oral health-related factors, and early childhood oral health impact scale (ECOHIS) for oral health-related quality of life. Results In emergency visits, the ratios of having dental pain, dental sensitivity, tooth decay, tooth loss were higher than the others (p < 0.05). Moreover, ECOHIS-Total, ECOHIS-Child, and ECOHIS-Family scores were higher in children with poor oral health status compared with good ones (p < 0.05). Conclusion Early childhood oral health impact scale score related with oral health status could be used to evaluate priority for emergencies in this age group.

Children’S Oral Health

Abstract Background: Early childhood caries (ECC) is prevalent in Thailand. There has never been an appropriate tool to measure its impact on children. This study translated Early childhood oral health impact scale (ECOHIS), a widely used proxy-reported questionnaire developed in the United States for measuring the oral health related quality of life of preschool children and their families and adopted into many countries, into Thai (Th-ECOHIS). Its psychometric properties were investigated in Thai caregivers and their children. Methods: Cultural adaptation for the scale development within Thai context was processed using forward–backward translation by experts. A face and content validation test were conducted among a group of 20 caregivers to attain the final Th-ECOHIS. Psychometric testing was done on 3-year-old-child-caregiver pairs in Bangkok with the interviewer-administered mode. Children’s oral health was indicated by caries experience (decayed, missing and filled primary teeth, dmft) and treatment need. The caregivers answered the Th-ECOHIS and global questions regarding perception of their children’s oral health. Reliability was assessed by measuring internal consistency and reproducibility using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Test-retest reliability was managed at 2-week interval in 10% of samples using the intraclass correlation coefficient calculated by two-way analysis of variance. The discriminant validity was tested by the relationship between the severity of dental caries, treatment need and Th-ECOHIS scores using Kruskal-Wallis test.Results: A total of 214 child-parent pairs participated. Twenty-two percent had ECC (dmft 1-3) and 17.3% had severe ECC (dmft 4 or higher) with mean (SD) dmft 1.63 (2.92). All items in the original ECOHIS were retained in the Thai version. The test-retest reliability of Th-ECOHIS was 0.87; internal consistency was 0.85; the total of Th-ECOHIS scores were significantly correlated with the global rating of oral health question (r = 0.604). Th-ECOHIS scores in both child and family impact sections and total were significantly associated with the severity of caries (p < 0.001) and treatment need (p < 0.001).Conclusions: Th-ECOHIS demonstrated good reliability and validity. It could be used to assess the impacts of ECC on quality of life of Thai pre-school children through caregiver and compare to other countries.
