“…Specific individual characteristics, education, and standards better social well-being (P = 0.015). 22 A South Indian study by Ahuja and Ahuja 23 to determine the influence of socioeconomic status and home environmental factors on OHRQoL in children concluded that children in lower socioeconomic classes, especially the upper lower and lower-middle classes, had higher scores compared to others (P < 0.05) and that children of single parents, with siblings, staying in smaller homes with multiple family members, going to government schools and in proximity to family members with a habit of consuming alcohol or tobacco had poorer scores. These findings supported the status of the present study and another study conducted among Canadian children.…”

Aim: This study envisages understanding about the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) among groups of foundling and delinquent children and compares them with mainstream children in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Method: This is a cross-sectional, observational study of a group of foundling and delinquent children aged 11 to 14 years, in care houses in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and mainstream school children. Variables measured for each group were demographic data (age, gender), subjective oral health condition, and OHRQoL. An interview-based questionnaire was used for collecting the relevant data. The questionnaire was divided into four parts, oral symptoms, functional limitations, emotional well-being, and social well-being, with each response scored as per the following codes: (0) never, (1) once or twice, (2) sometimes, (3) often, and (4) every day. The top possible score for the total scale was 144, and the lowest was 0. A comparison group of mainstream school children was recruited from public schools. Data were analysed using SPSS version 25.0 statistical software, and one-way ANOVA was used for the analysis of data when three levels or more were categorical, and the response was numerical. A chi-square test was used to assess the correlation between any two categorical variables. Results: Out of the total 99 children, 33 were delinquents, 33 were foundling, and 33 were mainstream children included as a comparative group in the study. It was noted that the delinquents compared to the Oral health-related quality of life among different groups of children e8

Background: The age at, type and number of the teeth eruption of primary dentition has been linked to a variety of environmental variables. The studies on possible socioeconomic factor as a variable for the primary dentition of neonates is still limited in the literature. The purpose of the study was to determine the primary dentition of neonates in Ganjam district, Odisha, India, in relation to socioeconomic level of their families. Method: From the moment a child was born until he or she became two-year-old, primary dentition information such as time, type, and patterns were documented. Also, before to conception, information on the mother’s socioeconomic factors were gathered and statistical analysis were carried out. Conclusion: The findings support the previous evidence of environmental influences on the time of primary dentition eruption by demonstrating that maternal socioeconomic status has a significant impact on primary dentition. For the research region, the socioeconomic status of the family has the least impact on the number of teeth at first eruption.

BackgroundRecent evidence has shown that the prevalence of periodontal diseases is still high among adolescents and, thus, there is an impetus to promote good oral hygiene habits among them through schools. There is a need to provide baseline data on the oral hygiene habits of adolescents and how it impacts their oral health-related quality of life for appropriate intervention to be instituted. Moreover, oral health-related quality of life describes how oral health affects the daily activities of individuals; thus, it provides a holistic means of involving individuals in making decisions about their oral health including uptake of oral hygiene habits.AimTo assess the impact of oral hygiene habits on adolescents' oral health-related quality of life.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,800 adolescents aged 14–18 years attending 36 Senior Secondary Schools in the metropolis of Ibadan, Nigeria. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire, which assessed students' sociodemographic characteristics, oral hygiene habits, and oral health-related quality of life with COHIP-SF19. Data obtained was analyzed with SPSS version 25 and the p-value was set at <5%.ResultsThe mean age of the adolescents was 15.16 (±1.16) years. Many 1,094 (60.3%) cleaned their teeth twice or more often daily with 126 (7.0%) cleaning after meals and 1,519 (84.4%) changing their tooth cleaning agent at three months intervals or less. About 1,215 (67.5%) spent three minutes or longer in cleaning their teeth. Only a few 238 (13.2%) cleaned interdentally and 137 (7.6%) used dental floss. The OHRQoL scores of the adolescents ranged from 9–76. A total of 1,612 (93.5%) had at least an impact on their OHRQoL. Those who cleaned their teeth more frequently (twice or more) were more likely to have better OHRQoL (OR = 1.6, 95% CI = 1.1–2.4, p = 0.025) and those who did not clean interdentally were more likely to have better OHRQoL (OR = 2.8, 95% CI = 1.2–6.5, p = 0.014) than others.ConclusionThe oral hygiene habits of the adolescents were suboptimal and those who cleaned their teeth twice or more often each day had fewer impacts on their OHRQoL, whereas those who engaged in interdental cleaning had higher impacts on their OHRQoL than others.
