“…This was also observed in studies which evaluated changes in the OHRQoL of children after a short-term dental caries treatment 12,15,17,29 and corroborates the importance of the promotion of equal access to dental care and quality of treatment outcomes to reduce inequalities in oral health. 31 The 1-year follow-up in the DTG demonstrated that the scores of all CPQ 8-10 domains continued to improve and were statistically different from those at baseline, except for the OS domain.…”

“…Although other studies have demonstrated improvements in children's OHRQoL after dental treatment, they generally have focused on outcomes in younger children using the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS), Child-Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (Child-OIDP), the Parental-Caregivers Perception Questionnaire (P-CPQ), 17,25,26,27 and research in which treatment was proposed for early childhood caries under general anesthesia. 12,28,29 In relation to CPQ instruments, Turton et al 30 evaluate the responsiveness of the Khmer version of the CPQ [11][12][13][14] in 140 children aged 8 to 14 years who received basic dental care from a local nongovernmental organization over a 6-month period. Therefore, to our knowledge, the present study is the first longitudinal study that compares the OHRQoL of children aged 8 to 10 years after caries treatment using the CPQ 8-10 over a 1 year period.…”

Impact of a dental care program on the quality of life of children with and without caries Abstract: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the long-term effects of the caries treatment provided by a dental care program on changes in schoolchildren's OHRQoL. A one-year follow-up was conducted with a sample of 372 children aged 8 to 10 years which were clinically examined and divided into two matched groups according to their caries experience: dental treatment group (DTG) and group without caries (GWC). Both groups were assessed three times (at baseline, at 4 weeks, and at 1 year) using the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ [8][9][10] ). The normality test was performed for the statistical analyses; the Friedman test was used for the dependent variables (longitudinal assessment repeated three times for the same group); and the Mann-Whitney test was used for the independent variables (test and control groups in each time period). There was improvement in all domains and in overall CPQ 8-10 (p < 0.0001) in the DTG over time, but no significant changes (p > 0.05) were observed at baseline for overall CPQ 8-10 and for the emotional well-being domain in the GWC. The comparison between groups demonstrated that OHRQoL was persistently better for the GWC (p < 0.05) over time.In conclusion, dental caries treatment has a long-term positive impact on schoolchildren's OHRQoL, highlighting the importance of health policies that promote access to dental care for this population.

Background The health and well‐being of children are intimately linked to their parents’ physical, emotional, and social health and social circumstances. Aim To conduct a meta‐analysis of studies that have used the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) and Child Oral Health‐Related Quality of Life (COHRQoL) instruments, to evaluate the family impact scale (FIS) changes following their children's dental treatment under general anaesthesia (DGA). Methodology A systematic search was undertaken using the PRISMA guidelines. The inclusion criteria consisted of patients below 16 years of age, DGA, pre‐ and post‐operative assessments, and the use of ECOHIS and COHRQoL. FIS changes were the primary outcome measure, where the mean difference (MD) was calculated. Results After initial search of 105 studies in the database, twenty‐one articles were included in the analysis. A positive outcome in the FIS changes was identified in all studies. The combined MD for FIS using ECOHIS and COHRQoL was 1.52 [95% CI: 1.15‐1.89; P < 0.00001; I2=87%] and 1.10 [95% CI: 0.68‐1.52; P < 0.00001; I2=79%], respectively. Conclusions Dental treatment with general anaesthesia for children had a significant positive impact on parental emotions, activity, and conflict. Following DGA, there was significant improvement in the FIS, with large MD.

“…All participants were asked to rate each question using a Likert scale. The Likert scale is commonly used to record participant’s response during the questionnaire-based studies [24,25]. The Likert scale can range from never (Score 0), hardly ever (Score 1), occasionally (Score 2), fairly often (Score 3), very often (Score 4), to always (Score 5).…”

Hyposalivation (HS) affects aging individuals by causing pain and discomfort in the oral cavity. The aim here was to determine the impact of hyposalivation and the saliva pH on the quality of life and caries status of geriatrics population. A total of 138 male outpatients attending the Taibah University College of Dentistry (TUCoD) dental clinic were included in the study. The saliva flow, pH, Quality of Life (QoL), and caries status were recorded. The QoL was measured using the Arabic version of the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14), and the caries status was recorded using the Decayed, Missed, Filled Teeth (DMFT) index. The mean age was 67.5 years and 64% were classified as having hyposalivation. The older respondents tended to have a lower saliva flow and pH compared to their younger counterparts. There was a significant inverse association (p = 0.02) between the caries status and mean saliva flow rate. There was also a significant (p < 0.001) positive correlation between caries and the OHIP-14 scores (Spearman’s ρ = 0.293). The prevalence of hyposalivation was relatively high and there was an inverse relationship between the age, the saliva flow, and pH. Those with more caries reported significantly poor QoL.

Oral health‐related quality of life following dental treatment under general anaesthesia for early childhood caries – a UK‐based study

Abstract: DGA for young children with early childhood caries resulted in substantial improvements in parent's ratings of their child's OHRQoL and of the impact on their families. Larger cohort studies are needed to validate these preliminary findings.
