“…A previous study showed the link between less restricted sugar consumption and poorer OHRQOL held up in the multivariate analysis controlling for oral health status, suggesting that the students take account of preventive behaviours when judging their OHRQOL, irrespective of their oral disease status 20. Adopting preventive oral health behaviours in daily life, such as brushing teeth twice a day,21 flossing after meals22 and a healthy diet,21 23 has also become an economical and indispensable way to improve OHRQOL even in the absence of oral disease. Some studies of children aged about 9–15 years showed that supervised toothbrushing24 25 and flossing daily26 were effective in the prevention of gingivitis, while gingivitis was found to be negatively associated with children’s OHRQOL 27.…”

ObjectiveAchieving good oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) is of particular concern in children. The inter-relations among oral health knowledge, self-efficacy, behaviours and OHRQOL in children groups remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the inter-relations between these oral health behaviour-related factors and OHRQOL in primary school children.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, 651 children in grades 2 and 3 were recruited in October 2020 from two primary schools in Minhang District, Shanghai, China. Data were collected through self-reported questionnaires, consisting of demographic characteristics, oral health knowledge, self-efficacy, oral health behaviours and OHRQOL. Pearson’s correlation analyses were used to analyse the relationship between study variables. Structural equation models were used to test the inter-relations between OHRQOL and oral health behaviour-related factors.ResultsFour hypothetical structural equation models were tested and one of them was selected as the most appropriate model, which explained 15.0% of the variance in OHRQOL. This selected model showed that oral health behaviours were directly related to OHRQOL. Oral health knowledge was indirectly associated with OHRQOL through both self-efficacy and oral health behaviours. Self-efficacy was directly associated with OHRQOL or was indirectly associated with OHRQOL through oral health behaviours.ConclusionThis study revealed a pathway of association between children’s oral health knowledge and their OHRQOL, in which children’s oral health self-efficacy and behaviours had indirect effects. This provides a basis for understanding the mechanism of oral health promotion interventions to improve children’s OHRQOL and helps to identify direct or indirect intervention targets.

“…The individual factors that go in favor of our research hypothesis are education level (p = 0.025, ɳ² = 0.05), number of daily brewing (p = 0.01, ɳ² = 0.077) and age class (p = 0.021, ɳ² = 0.074). Kamimura et al in 2017 also show a significant influence (p < 0.01) of the number of daily tooth brushing on oral health related quality of life[19]. Khosrozadeh et al on their part identify the influence of educational level (p < 0.001), number of daily tooth brushing (p < 0.0001) and age (r = -0.353, p = 0.0001) on oral health related quality of life[13].…”

Aim or Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the factors associated with oral health-related quality Of life (OHRQOL) in adults in Mbouda (Cameroon) in 2020. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey with nonprobability sampling was used in this study from March to November 2020. A sample of 238 adults aged from 18 to 65 years residing in Mbouda completed an oral health survey to assess the factors associated to OHRQOL. The means and standard deviations of the OHIP-14 index were calculated and associated to individual and environmental factors and biological functions. Normality test, Mann-Whitney U-test, Kruskal-Wallis test and the coefficient of spearman correlation were used for data analysis. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. An approval to conduct the study was obtained from the institutional research ethics committee for human health. Results: The most affected domains of the OHIP-14 index score among adults were physical pain (42.6%) and psychological discomfort (39.2%). Age group, level of education, number of daily brushes, fixed salary, accessibility, periodontal disease and tooth decay were significantly associated with OHRQOL. After multiple linear regression, periodontal disease, accessibility and dental caries were retained as predictors of OHRQOL in adults of Mbouda. Conclusions: The establishment of an oral health program, the strengthening of an effective oral hygiene, the promotion of oral health and the reduction of geographic and financial barriers are necessary to finally improve OHRQOL among adults in Mbouda.
