Perceived Impact of Dental Pain on the Quality of Life of Preschool Children and Their Families.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the perceived impact of dental caries and dental pain on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among preschool children and their families. A cross-sectional study was conduct with 843 preschool children in Campina Grande, Brazil. Parents/caregivers answered a questionnaire on socio-demographic information, their child's general/oral health and history of dental pain. The Brazilian version of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale was administered to determine the perceived impact of caries and dental pain on OHRQoL. The children underwent an oral examination. Logistic regression for complex sample was used to determine associations between the dependent and independent variables (OR: Odds ratio, ? = 5%). The independents variables that had a p-value <0.20 in the bivariate analysis were selected for the multivariate model. The prevalence of dental caries and dental pain was 66.3% and 9.4%, respectively. Order of birth of the child, being the middle child (OR: 10.107, 95%CI: 2.008-50.869) and youngest child (OR: 3.276, 95%CI: 1.048-10.284) and dental pain (OR: 84.477, 95%CI: 33.076-215.759) were significant predictors of the perceived impact on OHRQOL for children. Poor perception of oral health was significant predictor of the perceived impact on OHRQOL for family (OR=7.397, 95%CI: 2.190-24.987). Dental caries was not associated with a perceived impact on the ORHQoL of either the children or their families. However, order of child birth and dental pain were indicators of impact of OHRQoL on preschool children and poor perception of oral health was indicators of impact on families.

Project description:Background There is a lack of evidence with regards to the association between both maternal and child dental anxiety and the mother’s perception of her child’s oral health-related quality of life (COHRQoL). The aim of this study was to investigate the association of maternal and child dental anxiety with COHRQoL and the effect of demographic factors as moderators in this relationship. In addition, the association between child’s dental caries experience and the COHRQoL was also assessed. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 1150, 5–6 year-old preschool children in Selangor, Malaysia. Mothers answered a questionnaire on socio-economic status, the Malay-Modified Dental Anxiety Scale to assess maternal dental anxiety, and the Malay-Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale to assess COHRQoL. Child's dental anxiety was assessed using the Malay-Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale via a face-to-face interview prior to oral examination to assess dental caries. Data were analysed using structural equation modelling to assess the relationship between maternal and child dental anxiety and COHRQoL. Results Overall, complete data on 842 mother–child dyads were analysed. The mean scores of total ECOHIS, the child impacts section (CIS), and the family impacts section (FIS) were 17.7 (SD?=?4.9), 12.6 (SD?=?3.7), and 5.1 (SD?=?1.9), respectively. The mean dental anxiety scores for mothers and children were 11.8 (SD?=?4.5) and 16.9 (SD?=?4.3), respectively. Maternal dental anxiety was associated with the CIS (b?=?0.08, p?<?0.001), the FIS (b?=?0.01, p?=?0.001), and the total ECOHIS (b?=?0.14, p?<?0.001). Maternal education level, income, urban/rural location, and kindergarten type were moderators to the relationship. In addition, there was also a significant relationship between child’s dental caries experience and COHRQoL (p?<?0.001). Conclusions Maternal dental anxiety and child’s dental caries experience have significantly impacted the COHRQoL, the CIS, and the FIS domains. Demographic factors such as maternal education, income, urban/rural location, and kindergarten type acted as moderators that can strengthen or weaken the relationship between maternal dental anxiety and COHRQoL of 5–6-year-old preschool children.

Project description:ObjectivesThe aim of the study was to determine the association between oral health-related quality-of-life domains and satisfaction with dental condition of school-age children with dental pain in Ibadan, Nigeria.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted among 1006 pupils aged 9-12 years who attended 18 randomly selected primary schools in Ibadan, Nigeria. An interviewer-administered questionnaire, Child Oral Impact on Daily Performances inventory in addition to oral examination was used to obtain data. Analysis was done with SPSS 23 and STATA 14 and p-value set at <0.05.ResultsThe prevalence of self-reported dental pain was 10.2%. The mean Child Oral Impact on Daily Performances inventory score was 2.6(±7.2) overall and 9.8(±12.4) for pupils with pain. There was a greater impact on oral health-related quality of life of respondents who reported dental pain than in others (mean rank = 749.54 vs 475.4, U = 21,162, p < 0.001) compared to those with clinically assessed pain (mean rank = 541.21 vs 502.97, U = 6416, p = 0.489). Those who reported dental pain were more dissatisfied with their dental condition (odds ratio = 7.7, 95% confidence interval = 5.0-12.0, p < 0.001) compared to those with clinically assessed dental pain (odds ratio = 1.3, 95% confidence interval = 0.4-4.9, p = 0.687). The direct effect of pain on satisfaction with dental condition and Child Oral Impact on Daily Performances inventory was β = 0.74 (standard error = 0.12, 95% confidence interval = 0.50-0.97, p < 0.001) and β = 0.53 (standard error = 0.05, 95% confidence interval = 0.44-0.63, p < 0.001), respectively. The indirect effect was β = 0.12 (standard error = 0.039, 95% confidence interval = 0.05-0.20, p = 0.001) and the total effect was β = 0.86 (standard error = 0.11, 95% confidence interval = 0.64-1.08, p < 0.001); R 2 = 0.21.ConclusionSelf-reported dental pain significantly impacted the quality of life of the pupils to cause dissatisfaction with dental condition when compared to clinically assessed pain.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Preschool years are a critical period in the development of a healthy child. The consequences of poor oral health in preschool children reach beyond dental problems, with oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) being associated with overall systematic health as well as one's quality of life. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of dental caries and its impacts on the OHRQoL in a sample of preschool children in Kisarawe. METHODS:A cross-sectional based study was conducted in 2017. A total of 1106 preschool children completed a face-to-face interview, using a translated Kiswahili version of the Michigan Oral Health-related Quality of Life Scale (MOHRQoL) -Child Version (2003), and underwent clinical oral examination using WHO (1997) criteria. RESULTS:The decayed component was the most prevalent (dft?=?2.08) and the Significant Caries Index (SiC) was 5.54 double of the (dft), showing polarization of dental caries in the studied population. After adjusting for appropriate covariates, preschool children of age 5 and 6?years old were more likely to have decayed tooth [Adjusted OR?=?3.02, (95% CI =2.01-4.54)] and [Adjusted OR?=?2.23, (95% CI?=?1.55-3.20)] respectively. Preschool children without visible plaque on the buccal surface of upper anterior teeth were less likely to have decayed teeth [Adjusted OR?=?0.21, (95% CI?=?0.09-0.45)]. Regarding measurements of oral health-related quality of life using the MOHRQoL, only preschool children who reported on 'do your teeth hurt you now?' and 'do kids make fun of your teeth?' were more likely to have a decayed tooth [Adjusted OR?=?1.74, (95% CI?=?1.12-2.71)] and [Adjusted OR?=?1.87, (95% CI?=?1.11-3.15)], respectively. CONCLUSION:Findings from this study suggest that dental caries affects a significant portion of preschool children and, was associated with poor oral hygiene. The overall impacts of dental caries prevalence to OHRQoL were low in this sample of preschool children. Children having caries (independent variable) were shown to report more frequently that 'do your teeth hurt you now?' and 'do kids make fun of your teeth?' were more likely to have a decayed tooth among preschool children in Kisarawe, Tanzania.
