Kids and teenagers are more prone to oral diseases. Poor oral health has a significant impact on oral well-being-associated quality of life. Thus, we performed an investigation to examine the outcome of oral health status on the quality of life of children and adolescents in Indian population, by using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14).
A total of 100 children, ranging between 1 and 19 years of age who attended Indian hospitals from November 2016 to October 2019, were included in the study. The DMFT Index (Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth) and OHIP-14 were used as data collection tools. Association of the total OHIP-14 score and seven subscales associated with it was evaluated using Spearman's correlations.
The results showed statistically noteworthy association between the toothbrushing regularity, number of dental appointments, history of oral trauma, smoking, and subdomains of OHIP-14 ( < 0.05).
Dental and oral health of an individual has a great impact on their quality of life.
儿童和青少年更容易患口腔疾病。口腔健康状况不佳对与口腔健康相关的生活质量有重大影响。因此,我们进行了一项调查,通过使用口腔健康影响程度量表-14(OHIP-14)来研究印度人群中儿童和青少年的口腔健康状况对生活质量的影响。
本研究纳入了2016年11月至2019年10月期间在印度医院就诊的100名年龄在1至19岁之间的儿童。使用龋失补牙指数(DMFT指数)和OHIP-14作为数据收集工具。使用Spearman相关性分析评估OHIP-14总分及其七个子量表之间的关联。
结果显示,刷牙规律、看牙次数、口腔创伤史、吸烟与OHIP-14的子领域之间存在统计学上显著的关联(<0.05)。
