The present study aims to determine the impact of malocclusion on oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) among 13-16 years old Malay school children.
School children aged between 13 and 16 years old were randomly selected from a secondary school in Penang. Malay version of Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaires were given to the subjects. This questionnaire has 14 questions with seven domains which are functional limitation, psychological discomfort, physical pain, physical disability, psychological and social disability, and handicap. Index of orthodontic treatment need dental health component was used to assess the orthodontic treatment need. Overjet (reversed overjet), open bite, overbite, cross bite, impeded eruption, crowding, defects of cleft lip and palate, Class II and Class III buccal occlusion, present of supernumerary and hypodontia were assessed.
255 students participated in this study. Mean score and standard deviation for OHIP-14 were 8.64 (± 7.32) for males and 11.05 (± 9.41) for females respectively. There was statistically significant difference in mean score of OHIP-14 between male and female (p = 0.023). A weak positive correlation was found between malocclusion severity and OHRQoL (r = 0.186; p < 0.01). Malocclusion had a negative impact on OHRQoL of the students in the present study. This impact was prominent in psychological discomfort and psychological disability domains of OHIP-14 (p < 0.05).
Increase in severity of malocclusion was associated with a negative impact on OHRQoL. Females exhibited more negative impact of malocclusion on their OHRQoL. Psychological domain was the most affected one.
本研究旨在确定错颌畸形对 13-16 岁马来族在校儿童口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）的影响。
从槟城的一所中学中随机抽取 13 至 16 岁的在校儿童。向受试者发放马来语版口腔健康影响量表-14（OHIP-14）问卷。该问卷共有 14 个问题，分为 7 个领域，分别是功能受限、心理不适、身体疼痛、身体残疾、心理和社会障碍以及障碍。使用正畸治疗需要牙科健康组件评估正畸治疗需求。评估反覆颌（反覆颌）、开颌、深覆颌、交叉颌、萌出障碍、拥挤、唇腭裂畸形、II 类和 III 类颊侧咬合、多生牙和缺牙。
共有 255 名学生参与了这项研究。男性 OHIP-14 的平均得分为 8.64（±7.32），女性的平均得分为 11.05（±9.41）。男性和女性的 OHIP-14 平均得分存在统计学差异（p=0.023）。错颌畸形严重程度与 OHRQoL 之间存在弱正相关（r=0.186；p<0.01）。错颌畸形对本研究学生的 OHRQoL 有负面影响。这种影响在 OHIP-14 的心理不适和心理障碍领域尤为明显（p<0.05）。
错颌畸形严重程度的增加与 OHRQoL 的负面影响相关。女性的错颌畸形对其 OHRQoL 的负面影响更大。心理领域受影响最大。
