“…Another Brazilian study reports a 69.9% prevalence rate of malocclusion in the anterior region, using a cutoff point of > 2 mm for determining increased overjet. 1 Since young children may exhibit nonnutritive sucking habits, 24 it is important to stress than the mean age of the children in the present study was 4.25 (SD = 0.83) years, whereas mean age in the study by Kramer et al 1 was 3.5 (SD = 1.0) years. This result may show that the damage caused by nonnutritive sucking habits can be corrected spontaneously after cessation of these habits.…”

“…A study with preschoolers in the city of Canoas, Brazil, also found an association between malocclusion and quality of life. 1 It is important for parents/caregivers to perceive the functional limitations associated with anterior open bite, such as difficulty eating and pronouncing words, since this malocclusion may be carried over into the mixed dentition. 6 Moreover, the satisfaction/dissatisfaction expressed by parents with regard to their child's oral health could also be attributed to this association.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between different types of malocclusion and the impact on quality of life among preschoolers and their families. A cross-sectional study was carried out involving 451 children 3-5 years of age. A clinical exam was performed to evaluate the malocclusions according to criteria proposed by Foster and Hamilton. This examination was conducted by a calibrated dentist. Parents/caregivers answered the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) for the assessment of Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) and the questionnaire on socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, chi-square, Mann-Whitney and hierarchically adjusted Poisson regression. The prevalence of malocclusion was 28.4%. The most frequent conditions were posterior crossbite (20.4%), anterior open bite (9.5%) and increased overjet (8.4%). A significant association was found between anterior open bite and OHRQoL (p < 0.001). The adjusted analysis confirmed the association between anterior open bite and a negative impact on quality of life (PR = 2.55; 95%CI: 1.87 to 3.47; p < 0.001). Anterior open bite was associated with a negative impact on the quality of life of preschoolers.

“…20 Among younger Brazilian children (aged 2-5 years), the prevalence of any impact on OHRQoL is almost three times higher for children with dental caries compared to those who are caries-free. 28 Malocclusion was used as a confounding variable because anterior segment spacing, a common finding at this stage, is statistically associated with impact on children's OHRQoL. 29 Furthermore, the prevalence of malocclusion (32.2%) was higher than that of dental caries (23.1%) in this sample.…”

Dental caries and social factors: impact on quality of life in Brazilian children

et al. 2015

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of dental caries and social determinants in the Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) of children in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. This is a population-based cross-sectional study with a representative sample of 1,204 children aged 8 to 10 years randomly selected from 19 public and private schools. The children were clinically examined at school by two trained and calibrated examiners (Kappa = 0.78 -1.00). The Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth Index (DMF-T and dmf-t) was used for the diagnosis of dental caries. The social factors were determined by parents' /caregivers' schooling, household income, number of people in the household, type of school, and by the Social Vulnerability Index. The Brazilian version of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire for ages 8 to 10 years was used to assess the impact on quality of life. A total of 278 (23.1%) out of 1,204 children had at least one cavitated carious lesion and 47.0% presented a negative impact on OHRQoL. In the final multivariate Poisson's regression model, household income and presence of untreated dental caries were statistically associated with a negative impact on OHRQoL (p < 0.001). Children with dental caries and from low-income families had a higher negative impact on OHRQoL.

“…Nonetheless, some SOHO-5 items were significantly associated with malocclusion and difficulty drinking on the child scale, and difficulty eating and difficulty playing on the parental scale, perhaps because difficulty playing plays an important role in the social interaction of children. 22 Multivariate analysis found an association between anterior open bite and OHRQoL according to the parental version. A previous study found that anterior open bite was negatively associated with the function domain, according to the perception of parents.…”

Parental influence on children’s answers to an oral-health-related quality of life questionnaire

The aim of the study was to evaluate parental influence on children's answers to an oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) questionnaire. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a non-probabilistic sample of 84 pairs of 5-year-olds and parents/guardians. The participants were selected from a primary family healthcare center in Campina Grande, Brazil. First, the children and parents answered respective versions of the Scale of Oral Health Outcomes for Five-Year-Old Children (SOHO-5). Seven days later, the children answered their version of the SOHO-5, without the presence of their parents/guardians, and underwent a clinical exam of dental caries, traumatic dental injury and malocclusion, by a previously calibrated researcher. Statistical analysis involved a comparison of mean scores and the calculation of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Poisson regression models were used to associate the variables (α = 5%). No significant differences were found between the mean SOHO-5 scores of the children when alone or accompanied by parents/guardians (p > 0.05). The ICC between the answers of the children alone or accompanied was 0.84. White spot (PR = 6.32; 95%CI: 1.36 -29.40) and cavitated lesions (PR = 9.81; 95%CI: 3.22 -29.85) had an impact on OHRQoL, according to the children's self-report, whereas cavitated lesions (PR = 90.52; ) and anterior open bite (PR = 1.95; 95%IC: 1.07 -3.53) remained on the final model, according to the parents' version of the SOHO-5. In conclusion, parents did not influence the children's responses, and dental caries are the oral health problem exerting the greatest impact on the children's OHRQoL.

Exploring the impact of oral diseases and disorders on quality of life of preschool children

Abstract: The findings showed that caregivers of young children with oral disease and disorders perceived that both the children and other family members had poorer quality of life. Oral health policies should be included into general health programs based on common risk approach.
