INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between self-esteem and oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in a sample of children seeking orthodontic treatment in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
METHODS
This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 11 to 14 years, evaluating the associations among the child perception questionnaire (CPQ11-14), the self-esteem subscale of the child health questionnaire, and the dental aesthetic index (DAI).
RESULTS
The CPQ11-14 scores were significantly related to the self-esteem scores and the DAI ratings. Regression analysis showed that self-esteem contributed significantly to the variance in CPQ11-14 scores. However, the amount of variance explained by normative measures of malocclusion was relatively small.
CONCLUSIONS
The impact of malocclusion on quality of life is substantial in children with low self-esteem. Compared with normative measures of malocclusion, self-esteem is a more salient determinant of OHRQoL in children seeking orthodontic treatment. Longitudinal data will be of value to confirm this finding.
引言
本研究的目的是在加拿大安大略省多伦多市寻求正畸治疗的儿童样本中，考察自尊与口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）之间的关系。
方法
这是一项针对11至14岁儿童的横断面研究，评估儿童感知问卷（CPQ11 - 14）、儿童健康问卷自尊子量表和牙齿美学指数（DAI）之间的关联。
结果
CPQ11 - 14得分与自尊得分及DAI评级显著相关。回归分析表明，自尊对CPQ11 - 14得分的方差有显著贡献。然而，错颌畸形的规范测量所解释的方差量相对较小。
结论
错颌畸形对自尊心较低儿童的生活质量影响很大。与错颌畸形的规范测量相比，自尊是寻求正畸治疗儿童OHRQoL的一个更显著的决定因素。纵向数据将有助于证实这一发现。
