To determine the relationship between Oral Health-related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) with Dentition Status and Treatment need among 12 year old school children of Dilsukhnagar, Hyderabad.
A cross sectional study was carried out among 990 private school children aged 12 years old in Dilsukhnagar, Hyderabad city. OHRQoL was assessed by 16-item Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ), and Oral hygiene was evaluated using Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S), and Dentition status and Treatment need. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. Study population proportions and mean scores were compared using Chi-square test, Student t- test, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Spearman's analysis was done to determine correlation between CPQand its domain scores with OHI-S and Dentition status and Treatment Need based on gender. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
In the present study, all domains of CPQi.e., Oral Symptoms (OS) (3.27 ± 2.5; P = 0.0001), Functional Limitation (FL) (1.48 ± 2.1; P = 0.02), Emotional Wellbeing (EW) (1.83 ± 2.5; P = 0.02) and Social Wellbeing (SW) (1.25 ± 2.02; P = 0.0002) showed significant gender difference, with males having higher mean score compared to females. The majority of the study population was caries free 789 (79.7%). In addition, the dental caries experience among males and females was around 20% (p = 0.92). When total mean DMFT and DT scores were compared based on gender, no statistically significant difference was noted though females showed higher mean score.
The study results indicate that, there is a correlation between oral hygiene status and dentition status with quality of life.
确定海得拉巴迪尔苏克纳加尔12岁学童的口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）与牙列状况及治疗需求之间的关系。
在海得拉巴市迪尔苏克纳加尔的990名12岁私立学校儿童中开展了一项横断面研究。通过16项儿童感知问卷（CPQ）评估OHRQoL，使用简化口腔卫生指数（OHI-S）评估口腔卫生状况，并评估牙列状况和治疗需求。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）21.0版对数据进行分析。使用卡方检验、学生t检验和方差分析（ANOVA）比较研究人群比例和平均得分。进行斯皮尔曼分析以确定基于性别的CPQ及其领域得分与OHI-S、牙列状况和治疗需求之间的相关性。P < 0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
在本研究中，CPQ的所有领域，即口腔症状（OS）（3.27 ± 2.5；P = 0.0001）、功能受限（FL）（1.48 ± 2.1；P = 0.02）、情绪健康（EW）（1.83 ± 2.5；P = 0.02）和社会健康（SW）（1.25 ± 2.02；P = 0.0002）均显示出显著的性别差异，男性的平均得分高于女性。大多数研究人群（789人，占79.7%）无龋齿。此外，男性和女性的龋齿经历约为20%（p = 0.92）。当根据性别比较总平均DMFT和DT得分时，尽管女性的平均得分较高，但未发现统计学上的显著差异。
研究结果表明，口腔卫生状况和牙列状况与生活质量之间存在相关性。
