“…Another limitation refers to gingival bleeding measurement, which was self‐reported by the adolescent and may differ of normative indexes. However, self‐reported oral conditions have been used in previous studies 20,26,27 . In addition, if the adolescent visualizes and perceives gingival bleeding, the greater the likelihood of this perception affecting their social life and being perceived by other individuals in their social circle.…”

“…Gingival bleeding was assessed through adolescent self‐perception by the following question: “Did you notice any bleeding in your gums?” (0 = No and 1 = Yes). The measurement of dental variables through self‐reported data are considered valid, usual and recommended in epidemiological studies 20,25,26 . The other clinical variables were evaluated through oral examinations performed in schools, under natural light and using a plane dental mirror and, WHO periodontal probe (“ball point”) 23 .…”

“…The presence of gingival bleeding and edema in the anterior region has been pointed as a determining factor in the decline of oral health self‐perception and oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) in adolescents 19‐21 . Accordingly, gingival bleeding may be a substantial factor in dental appearance and well‐being of adolescents, and consequently in the occurrence of verbal bullying, because children and adolescents commonly judge the physical aspects between them, which can lead to emotional and social problems 2,16 .…”

Background Dentofacial features are related to increased bullying episodes in young people. The aim of this study was to assess the association between gingival bleeding and reports of verbal bullying among adolescents. Methods This is a cross‐sectional study conducted with a representative sample of 608 12‐year‐old adolescents from southern Brazil. The occurrence of verbal bullying was verified through adolescents' self‐report. Oral health measurements included the presence of gingival bleeding, dental fracture, dental fluorosis, and dental caries experience. Gingival bleeding was assessed through adolescent self‐perception by the following question: “Did you notice any bleeding in your gums?” Demographic, socioeconomic, and psychosocial variables were also evaluated. Poisson regression models with robust variance were used to evaluate the influence of gingival bleeding on the occurrence of verbal bullying. Results are presented as prevalence ratio (PR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Results Out of 608 adolescents evaluated, 577 answered bullying questions. The prevalence of self‐reported verbal bullying was 12.8%. Adolescents who presented gingival bleeding had an 80% higher prevalence of verbal bullying than their counterparts (PR 1.80; 95% CI 1.01 ‐3.19). Dental shame, speech difficulties and influence of dental condition on studies also impacted the higher prevalence of bullying. Conclusion Our results suggest that the presence of gingival bleeding negatively impacts the social life of adolescents, causing more episodes of verbal bullying. These findings encourage public health policies aimed at reducing oral health inequities, thus reflecting on the well‐being and quality of life of this target population.

“…Indeed, people respond less easily to long questionnaires than short ones [21,22]. Moreover, the many different ways of collecting data that explore gingival health [12,23], the different methodologies of evaluating gingival health (swollen or bleeding gingiva, gingival disease or inflammation) [24,25], and population-characteristic differences [26,27] make the comparison of results difficult.…”

Gingival bleeding (GB) is a common sign of gingival inflammation which indicates the presence of periodontal diseases. This cross-sectional multicenter survey aimed to assess the prevalence of self-reported gingival bleeding (SRGB) in French adults and identify the main associated factors. A questionnaire-based interview was randomly proposed to 794 individuals in four French cities (Nancy, Montpellier, Paris, and Rennes). Subjects were recruited in preventive medicine centers (50%), railway stations, and malls (50%). The questionnaire comprised 25 items: SRGB characteristics, socioeconomic variables, oral hygiene habits, use of drugs, and anxiety level. The overall prevalence of SRGB was 63.2% [59.8%; 66.6%], with 58.7% bleeding after toothbrushing and 4.5% spontaneous bleeding. Males reported significantly lower SRGB prevalence than females (p = 0.04). The distribution of SRGB frequency was inversely proportional to age (p < 0.0001). No association between drug use and SRGB was found. The people interviewed in the preventive medicine centers reported the highest frequency of SRGB (p < 0.0001). In the multivariate logistic model, SRGB was significantly related to occupation, smoking status, brushing frequency, and anxiety level. In conclusion, SRGB was prevalent in more than half of the sample and was mainly associated with age, toothbrushing frequency, and anxiety level. Thus, providing information to patients about the importance of this oral manifestation may play an important role in preventing periodontal diseases.

“…Dental caries is one of the most common chronic disease in children aged 2‐5 years old 1 . Approximately 23% of preschool children have experienced dental caries in primary teeth and 10% are left untreated 2,3 . According to the Fourth National Oral Health Survey of China, 4 the prevalence rates of dental caries among 3‐, 4‐, and 5‐year‐old children were 50.8%, 63.6%, and 71.9%, respectively.…”

Background The Child Oral Health Impact Profile – Preschool version (COHIP‐PS) is the first validated questionnaire designed to assess the oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) of preschool children with varying oral health‐related conditions. Aim To cross‐culturally adapt the original version of COHIP‐PS into Chinese and to assess the psychometric properties of a web‐based version of the COHIP‐PS (eCOHIP‐PS/C). Design The eCOHIP‐PS/C was first created using current guidelines. Then, the eCOHIP‐PS/C was administered to caregivers having children 2‐5 years old. The reliability of the eCOHIP‐PS/C was estimated using Cronbach's alpha and the intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Cross‐cultural validity and convergent validity were also investigated. Results The study included 260 children (mean age 4.3 years). Cronbach's alpha of eCOHIP‐PS/C was 0.903 and the ICC of the scale was 0.862. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) demonstrated that a four‐component model was the best solution for the eCOHIP‐PS/C. The fit indices were as follows: χ2/df = 2.176, TLI = 0.942, CFI = 0.946, GFI = 0.927, and RMSEA = 0.075. In addition, a good relationship was found between the eCOHIP‐PS/C and the global oral health question. Conclusion The eCOHIP‐PS/C is a reliable and valid tool for assessing the OHRQoL among Chinese preschool children.

Prevalence of self‐reported gingival bleeding in a representative sample of the Brazilian adolescent population

Abstract: Nearly one in five Brazilian adolescents reported having gingival bleeding, which might not be a serious condition, but reflect the disease and the adolescents' perception of oral health status.
