The objective of this study is to evaluate the psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics in undergraduate students in the People's Republic of China and to investigate the association between normal orthodontic treatment needs, psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics, and desire for orthodontic treatment.
A cross-sectional study was carried out in two universities in a city of the People's Republic of China with 374 young adults aged between 19 years and 24 years. The students answered a Chinese version of the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ) and addressed their desire for orthodontic treatment. Objective malocclusion severity was assessed with the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). Statistical analysis was performed by the SPSS software (Version 15.0).
There was no statistical sex difference in relation to the dental health component of IOTN (P=0.893) and PIDAQ scores (P=0.06), but it was found that the desire for orthodontic treatment was significantly stronger among females. The total and subscale PIDAQ scores and malocclusion severity differed significantly among the five grades of desire (P<0.01). Significant positive correlation was found among desire for orthodontic treatment, IOTN-dental health component grades, and total or subscale PIDAQ scores (P<0.01). High correlation was found between desire and PIDAQ score (r=0.93).
The desire for orthodontic treatment is higher among female young adults who have the same orthodontic treatment needs compared to males. The desire for orthodontic treatment has high positive correlation with PIDAQ scores and increases with the increase in self-perceived psychosocial impacts of malocclusion and the needs for orthodontic treatment.
本研究旨在评估牙齿美观对中华人民共和国大学生的心理社会影响,并调查正常正畸治疗需求、牙齿美观的心理社会影响与正畸治疗意愿之间的关联。
在中华人民共和国某城市的两所大学对374名年龄在19岁至24岁之间的年轻人进行了一项横断面研究。学生们回答了中文版的《牙齿美观心理社会影响问卷》(PIDAQ),并表达了他们对正畸治疗的意愿。使用正畸治疗需求指数(IOTN)评估错颌畸形的客观严重程度。采用SPSS软件(版本15.0)进行统计分析。
在IOTN的牙齿健康成分(P = 0.893)和PIDAQ评分方面(P = 0.06),未发现统计学上的性别差异,但发现女性对正畸治疗的意愿明显更强。在五个意愿等级中,PIDAQ总分及各子量表得分和错颌畸形严重程度存在显著差异(P < 0.01)。正畸治疗意愿、IOTN牙齿健康成分等级与PIDAQ总分或各子量表得分之间存在显著正相关(P < 0.01)。意愿与PIDAQ评分之间存在高度相关性(r = 0.93)。
在正畸治疗需求相同的情况下,年轻女性对正畸治疗的意愿高于男性。正畸治疗意愿与PIDAQ评分高度正相关,并随着错颌畸形自我感知心理社会影响和正畸治疗需求的增加而增加。
