“…In this study, the mean ECOHIS Total score was 2.21 (SD=4.09), which can be considered low. Validation studies carried out in Colombia ( 25 ) and India ( 26 ) showed similar results, which is in line with other studies carried out in Portuguese populations ( 50 , 51 ). Other ECOHIS validation studies showed higher means ( 22 - 24 , 27 , 31 , 35 ), with a wide range of values between 3.7 ( 22 ) and 25.7 ( 27 ) .…”

Objective to contribute to the validation of the Early Childhood Oral Impact Scale (ECOHIS) by studying its psychometric properties when applied to a Portuguese preschool population. Methods Cross-sectional study conducted with children aged between three and five-years-old. The non-probabilistic sample included two preschools in the municipality of Lisbon. Children who agreed to participate and whose guardians signed the informed consent were included. Data collection included a questionnaire, administered to the parents, and an intraoral examination of the children. The questionnaire included the Portuguese version of ECOHIS. The intraoral examination included the caries diagnosis according to the World Health Organization criteria. Discriminant validity compared the ECOHIS score between children with and without caries experience (Mann-Whitney U-test). Cohen's d was calculated to estimate the magnitude of the difference. Reliability analysis included Cronbach's α and test-retest. Construct validity was analyzed by the correlation between the ECOHIS score and dmft (Spearman's correlation). A significance level of 5% was used. Results The sample included 104 children (mean age 4.1 years). ECOHIS values were significantly different between children with and without caries (p=0.004). The Cohen's d was 0.84. The Cronbach's was 0.78, with no significant increase in value when eliminating any of the items. The test-retest showed significant correlation (r=0.76; p=0.01). There was a significant correlation between the ECOHIS score and caries experience (r=0.28; p=0.004). Conclusion The Portuguese version of the ECOHIS showed good psychometric properties, indicating that it is a reliable and valid tool to measure the impact of oral health in preschool children.

“…In addition, the low frequency of tooth brushing can be contributed to the low SES in the current study. In contrary, a higher frequency of tooth brushing was seen in Freire and colleagues' study due to parental supervision and guidance during teeth brushing [14].…”

ObjectiveThe study aimed to assess the prevalence of Early Child Caries and its associated risk factors among a group of Lebanese preschool children. Materials and Methods Anobservational, cross-sectional study design that included 388 children recruited from different schools in Beirut, Lebanon. The parents were interviewed to answer a questionnaire developed by the World Health Organization (WHO, 1997) and Caries Assessment Risk tool developed by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD, 2019). Then, caries prevalence was assessed by examining the children using the WHO decayed, missed or filled primary teeth (dmft) index and the rating scores of dental caries were classified as very low <1.2, low 1.2 -2.6, moderate 2.7 -4.4 and high 4.4 (WHO, 1997). ResultsThe mean age of the children was 4.03 ± 0.82 years. The prevalence of ECC was 71.1% and the mean dmft index was noted to be 3.11 ± 3.67. Based on the risk assessment results, 68% of the preschool children had high caries risk whereas 32% had low caries risk. A statistically significant differences in mean dmft scores were noted in which 3-years-old children exhibited a lower mean dmft value compared to 4 and 5 years olds (p<0.001). In addition, a significant difference was also found in dmft scores between middle socioeconomic status (SES) schools and low SES schools (p=0.016). ConclusionOral health promotion programs are to be implemented on regular basis to enhance the oral health status and general well-being of young children.

r e s u m o informação sobre o artigo Historial do artigo: Recebido a 21 de novembro de 2023 Aceite a 9 de março de 2024 On-line a 30 de março de 2024 Objetivos: O presente trabalho pretendeu estudar a associação de aspetos relacionados com a qualidade de vida a características sociodemográficas, comportamentos de saúde oral e estado de saúde oral dos jovens de 18 anos da Região de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, utilizando dados previamente recolhidos no III Estudo Nacional de Prevalência das Doenças Orais (ENPDO). Métodos: A amostra do III ENPDO foi constituída por 157 indivíduos com 18 anos, residentes na região de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo. O III ENPDO recolheu dados através de um questionário e de uma observação intraoral. O questionário recolheu informação sobre a qualidade de vida, dados sociodemográficos e comportamentos de saúde oral. A observação intraoral incluiu o registo de cárie dentária (ICDAS II) e hemorragia gengival (IPC modificado). A análise estatística utilizou os testes de Mann-Whitney e de Kruskal-Wallis (α=0,05).Resultados: De um modo geral, os indivíduos do sexo feminino, com um nível de escolaridade mais baixo, que nunca visitaram um profissional de saúde oral e com presença de cárie ou de hemorragia gengival apresentaram piores resultados (p<0,05). A presença de cárie foi o fator mais frequentemente associado a uma pior qualidade de vida, encontrando-se em 4 das 8 questões consideradas.Conclusões: Foram identificados alguns fatores relacionados com uma pior qualidade de vida. A consideração destes fatores é importante para um reforço das medidas preventivas, particularmente das relacionadas com a melhoria dos comportamentos de saúde oral e com o tratamento precoce das doenças orais.
