“…Thirty articles examined the association between DFA and general anxiety/fear ( n = 11 pediatric, n = 19 adult). The majority of both pediatric [ 43 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ] and adult studies [ 29 , 39 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 ] reported a relationship between DFA and general anxiety/fear. Only one pediatric study [ 69 ] and two adult studies [ 13 , 70 ] found no significant association between general anxiety/fear and DFA.…”

Dental fear and anxiety (DFA) is common across the lifespan and represents a barrier to proper oral health behaviors and outcomes. The aim of this study is to present a conceptual model of the relationships between DFA, general anxiety/fear, sensory over-responsivity (SOR), and/or oral health behaviors and outcomes. Two rounds of literature searches were performed using the PubMed database. Included articles examined DFA, general anxiety/fear, SOR, catastrophizing, and/or oral health behaviors and outcomes in typically developing populations across the lifespan. The relationships between the constructs were recorded and organized into a conceptual model. A total of 188 articles were included. The results provided supporting evidence for relationships between DFA and all other constructs included in the model (general anxiety/fear, SOR, poor oral health, irregular dental attendance, dental behavior management problems [DBMP], and need for treatment with pharmacological methods). Additionally, SOR was associated with general anxiety/fear and DBMP; general anxiety/fear was linked to poor oral health, irregular attendance, and DBMP. This model provides a comprehensive view of the relationships between person factors (e.g., general anxiety/fear, SOR, and DFA) and oral health behaviors and outcomes. This is valuable in order to highlight connections between constructs that may be targeted in the development of new interventions to improve oral health behaviors and outcomes as well as the experience of DFA.

“…At the early stage of permanent dentition, if the associated factors are not evaluated, and the intervention measures are not implemented in time to correct poor habits [ 9 , 10 ], these irreversible oral problems will affect the life of the teeth and even the person's general quality of life [ 11 – 13 ]. Hence, some studies have started to pay more attention on the association of age, sex, region, socioeconomic conditions, personal and professional dental care, oral hygiene behaviours, and dental anxiety with dental caries, gingivitis and oral health-related quality of life in adolescents [ 11 , 12 , 14 , 15 ]. These studies provided evidence and reference for designing oral health prevention strategies [ 16 ].…”

Background We aimed to analyse the oral health status of adolescents in Shandong province, including dental caries and gingivitis, and their associated factors. Methods Adolescents aged 12–15-years in Shandong province were recruited. Caries and gingival status were assessed following the World Health Organisation diagnostic criteria. Information including the sociodemographic, oral hygiene knowledge, attitudes and practices were collected through the questionnaire. Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to investigate the oral diseases associated factors. Results In total, 3868 students (50.2% males) were enrolled. Of these, 39.9% of the participants experienced caries, and 81.7% and 31.3% had calculus and bleeding gingival, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that there was an association between dental caries and toothaches, dental visits and sleeping troubles caused by oral problems (P < 0.024). A low-frequency of brushing, high sugar consumption and no flossing were more associated with calculus formation and gingival bleeding (P < 0.008). Conclusion Compared to caries, worse gingival condition was more prevalent among adolescents in Shandong province. Brushing behaviour is associated with gingivitis, while dental visits and toothaches are associated with caries. Hence, prevention-oriented dental visits and oral hygiene training are strongly recommended to improve oral health status.

“…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
