“…Social support exerts a fundamental role during adolescence since it is related to other psychosocial factors, such as sense of coherence, self-management, and personal strength to deal with life problems [ 34 ]. These factors have a significant impact on oral health outcomes at this stage of life [ 35 , 36 , 37 ], where individuals experience biopsychosocial changes and emotional adaptations according to social structures [ 18 , 19 , 36 ]. Therefore, cognitive social capital seems to represent a relevant aspect of OHRQoL among adolescents.…”

This study evaluated the relationship of structural and cognitive dimensions of social capital with oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among adolescents. This was a cross-sectional study nested in a cohort of adolescents from southern Brazil. OHRQoL was evaluated using the short version of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire 11-14 (CPQ11-14). Structural social capital was measured by attendance of religious meetings and social networks from friends and neighbours. Cognitive social capital was evaluated through trust in friends and neighbours, perception of relationships in the neighbourhood, and social support during hard times. Multilevel Poisson regression analysis was performed to estimate the association between social capital dimensions and overall CPQ11-14 scores; higher scores corresponded to worse OHRQoL. The sample comprised 429 adolescents with a mean age of 12 years. Adolescents who attended religious meetings less than once a month or never presented higher overall CPQ11-14 scores. Adolescents who did not trust their friends and neighbours, those who believe that their neighbours did not have good relationships, and those reporting no support during hard times also presented higher overall CPQ11-14 scores. OHRQoL was poorer in individuals who presented lower structural and cognitive social capital, with the greatest impact related to the cognitive dimension.

“…The study by Soares et al 8 showed that SoC did not influence OHRQoL in children; however, they found that the higher the SoC, the lower the impact on the family's quality of life at the age group from 7 to 15 years. The study by Tondolo Junior et al 9 evaluated subjects with a mean age of 17.5 years, and showed that SoC and dental caries had a direct effect on OHRQoL. The cohort study by Knorst et al 17 evaluated adolescents between 11-15 years of age, and showed that individuals with a high SoC were more likely to report better OHRQoL.…”

“…Further studies carried out in adolescents also included those up to 15 years old. 8 The only study that includes individuals in late adolescence (from age 15 to 19 years) is the recent cohort study conducted by Tondolo Junior et al, 9 which has shown that SoC has a direct effect on the OHRQoL of adolescents with a mean age of 17.5 years.…”

This study evaluated the association between sense of coherence (SoC) and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among conscripts of the Brazilian Army, in two cities of southern Brazil. A crosssectional study included all 18-19-year-old adolescents who joined the Brazilian Army as draftees for mandatory military service in the cities of Itaqui, RS, and Santiago, RS (n = 505). Data collection was conducted from 2019 to 2021, and included the application of questionnaires and a clinical oral examination to record gingivitis, malocclusion, and dental caries. OHRQoL was collected through the Brazilian short version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP), composed of 14 questions. The adolescents' SoC was assessed using the validated Brazilian version of the SOC-13 scale. The primary outcome of this study was OHRQoL, modeled as a discrete variable (OHIP-14 scores). The main predictor variable was SoC, categorized as low, moderate, or high. The association between predictor variables and OHRQoL was assessed by Poisson regression models using a hierarchical approach. Unadjusted and adjusted rate ratios (RR), and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated. All the analyses were performed using STATA software version 14.2. Adolescents with a moderate and high SoC had 27% (RR = 0.73, 95%CI = 0.64-0.84) and 51% (RR = 0.49, 95%CI = 0.41-0.58) lower mean OHIP-14 scores, respectively, than those with a low SoC score, after the inclusion of behavioral and clinical variables. This study showed a significant association between SoC and OHRQoL among 18-19-year-old southern Brazilian adolescents. Strengthening the SoC as a psychosocial resource may improve the well-being and OHRQoL of adolescents.

Introduction: This cross-sectional study assessed the association between sense of coherence (SoC) and caries activity (number of active caries lesions) and caries experience (DMFT index) among 18–19-year-old male adolescents who joined the Brazilian Army as draftees for mandatory military service (n = 507). Methods: Data collection included a questionnaire (level of education, family income, and tooth brushing frequency), the Brazilian short version of the SoC scale (SOC-13), and clinical caries examination (noncavitated/cavitated, inactive/active). The main predictor variable was SoC, categorized as low, moderate, or high. Poisson regression models were used for statistical analysis. Results: A high SoC was significantly associated with a lower number of active lesions (adjusted rate ratio = 0.85; 95% CI = 0.74–0.98). No association between SoC and DMFT was detected. Conclusion: A high SoC was found to be a protective factor to caries activity in this population.
