“…15 In addition, when dental caries is more severe, it has a negative impact on parents' quality of life. 20 Among younger Brazilian children (aged 2-5 years), the prevalence of any impact on OHRQoL is almost three times higher for children with dental caries compared to those who are caries-free. 28 Malocclusion was used as a confounding variable because anterior segment spacing, a common finding at this stage, is statistically associated with impact on children's OHRQoL.…”

“…18 In other studies using multivariate-adjusted models, social factors such as low mother's education and low household income were statistically associated with a higher negative impact on Child Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (COHRQoL). 9,19,20 Moreover, high family income can be a protective factor for COHRQoL. 20 The objective of this study was to evaluate the negative impact of dental caries and social determinants on the quality of life of 8-10-year-olds in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of dental caries and social determinants in the Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) of children in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. This is a population-based cross-sectional study with a representative sample of 1,204 children aged 8 to 10 years randomly selected from 19 public and private schools. The children were clinically examined at school by two trained and calibrated examiners (Kappa = 0.78 -1.00). The Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth Index (DMF-T and dmf-t) was used for the diagnosis of dental caries. The social factors were determined by parents' /caregivers' schooling, household income, number of people in the household, type of school, and by the Social Vulnerability Index. The Brazilian version of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire for ages 8 to 10 years was used to assess the impact on quality of life. A total of 278 (23.1%) out of 1,204 children had at least one cavitated carious lesion and 47.0% presented a negative impact on OHRQoL. In the final multivariate Poisson's regression model, household income and presence of untreated dental caries were statistically associated with a negative impact on OHRQoL (p < 0.001). Children with dental caries and from low-income families had a higher negative impact on OHRQoL.

“…The impact of caries on parental QoL may be linked to concerns about aesthetic appearance. 11 Moreover, it is expected that the children may require more attention from the parent to relieve discomfort resulting from dental caries. 16 The prevalence of caries is related to sociobehavioral determinants, and is generally connected to lifestyle factors and age.…”

“…10 Most investigations into the impact of oral conditions on QoL involve only healthy children. 11 There are only sparse studies assessing the oral health-related QoL of children with sickle cell anemia, 4 and there is no research on the impact of these children's oral health on the QoL of parents.…”

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of oral conditions of children with sickle cell disease (SCD) on their parents' quality of life (QoL). A cross-sectional study was performed with parents of outpatients suffering from SCD at a hematology referral center in Belo Horizonte, MG. A qualified dentist performed an intraoral exam. The Family Impact Scale (FIS) was used to assess the parents' perception of QoL. The parents answered some questions regarding sociodemographic and medical information about their children. The dmft/DMFT score, DAI, gum bleeding and SCD severity were evaluated in terms of their impacts on the overall mean FIS scores and subscale scores. The chance of more frequent impacts was greater in parents of adolescents (OR = 2.04; 95%CI = 1.2, 3.4) than of younger children. Dental caries (dmft/DMFT ≥ 1) had a negative impact on

Abstract: The severity of children's DC has a negative impact on parents' QoL, whereas TDI do not. A lower family income might have a negative impact on parents' QoL.
