INTRODUCTION
Oral and dental health is one of the most important factors that affect the quality of life of preschool children. This study determined the effect of oral and dental health of preschoolers on their quality of life and that of their parents.
METHODS
This descriptive-cross sectional study asked 304 mothers of children aged 2-5 years from Babol, Iran, to complete an Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) questionnaire. Higher raw scores for ECOHIS indicate more oral problems and lower quality of life as related to oral health. The demographic information and dmft indices of the children were documented. The data were analyzed using the independent sample t-test, one way ANOVA, and the Scheffe post hoc test.
RESULTS
The mean ECOHIS score was 6.65 ± 3.57, and the mean score of "decay, missing and filling teeth" (dmft) was 4.39 ± 3.68. A high correlation (r = 0.725) was observed between the dmft score and the ECOHIS score (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION
The oral and dental health of the children strongly influenced their quality of life and that of their parents. There was an inverse relationship between dmft and oral health-related quality of life.
引言
口腔和牙齿健康是影响学龄前儿童生活质量的最重要因素之一。本研究确定了学龄前儿童的口腔和牙齿健康对其自身以及父母生活质量的影响。
方法
这项描述性横断面研究要求来自伊朗巴博勒的304名2至5岁儿童的母亲填写一份幼儿口腔健康影响量表（ECOHIS）问卷。ECOHIS的原始分数越高，表明口腔问题越多，与口腔健康相关的生活质量越低。记录了儿童的人口统计学信息和龋失补牙指数（dmft）。使用独立样本t检验、单因素方差分析和谢费事后检验对数据进行分析。
结果
ECOHIS的平均得分为6.65±3.57，“龋失补牙”（dmft）的平均得分为4.39±3.68。dmft得分与ECOHIS得分之间存在高度相关性（r = 0.725）（p < 0.001）。
结论
儿童的口腔和牙齿健康对他们自身以及父母的生活质量有很大影响。dmft与口腔健康相关生活质量之间存在负相关关系。
