To assess the impact of different types of malocclusions on the quality of life in 18-year-old young male adults.
A cross-sectional survey with a randomly selected sample of 414 young male adults who applied for military service in the city of Florian6polis in 2003 was carried out. Data on malocclusions were obtained through the dental aesthetic index variables. The impact of the oral health conditions on the quality of life was assessed, using the Oral Impact on Daily Performance index. Chi-squared tests were performed and the malocclusions statistically associated with the impact were included in models of unconditional multiple logistic regression.
The incisal crowding [OR 2.6 (95%CI 1.4-4.8)] (p = 0.002) and the anterior maxillary irregularity greater than 2 mm [OR 2.5 (95%CI 1.3-4.7)] (p = 0.006) had an impact on 'smiling, laughing and showing teeth without embarrassment'. An over-jet measure greater than 5 mm [OR 3.7 (95%CI 1.2-11.2)] (p = 0.021) had an impact on 'maintaining emotional state without being irritable'. The molar relationship did not have an impact.
Some types of malocclusions have an impact on quality of life, especially in terms of satisfaction with appearance.
评估不同类型错牙合畸形对18岁年轻男性成年人生活质量的影响。
对2003年在弗洛里亚诺波利斯市申请服兵役的414名年轻男性成年人进行随机抽样横断面调查。通过牙齿美学指数变量获取错牙合畸形数据。使用日常口腔功能影响指数评估口腔健康状况对生活质量的影响。进行卡方检验,并将与影响有统计学关联的错牙合畸形纳入无条件多因素逻辑回归模型。
切牙拥挤[比值比2.6(95%可信区间1.4 - 4.8)](p = 0.002)和上颌前部不规则超过2 mm[比值比2.5(95%可信区间1.3 - 4.7)](p = 0.006)对“微笑、大笑和露齿而不尴尬”有影响。覆盖超过5 mm[比值比3.7(95%可信区间1.2 - 11.2)](p = 0.021)对“保持情绪状态而不烦躁”有影响。磨牙关系没有影响。
某些类型的错牙合畸形对生活质量有影响,尤其是在对外表的满意度方面。
