The aim of this study was to evaluate how the oral hygiene condition can influence the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) of preschoolers and their families. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 446 children aged 2 to 6 years from public schools located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The groups were dichotomized: regular/poor oral hygiene condition (RPOH) or good oral hygiene condition (GOH). The caregivers answered the Brazilian version of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (B-ECOHIS). The average score in the RPOH group was 6.36 (6.35 DP) and GOH was 4.43 (5.35 SD) ( < .01). In the child subscale, the average of the RPOH and GOH group were, respectively, 4.12 (4.14 DP) and 3.13 (3.66 DP) ( = .01). In the family subscale, RPOH and GOH group were, respectively, 2.24 (3.12 DP) and 1.29 (2.52 DP) ( = .01). RPOH group had the greatest impact on OHRQoL.
本研究的目的是评估口腔卫生状况如何影响学龄前儿童及其家庭的口腔健康相关生活质量(OHRQoL)。对来自巴西里约热内卢公立学校的446名2至6岁儿童进行了一项横断面研究。将这些组分为两类:口腔卫生状况正常/较差(RPOH)或口腔卫生状况良好(GOH)。照顾者回答了巴西版的幼儿口腔健康影响量表(B-ECOHIS)。RPOH组的平均得分为6.36(标准差6.35),GOH组为4.43(标准差5.35)(<0.01)。在儿童子量表中,RPOH组和GOH组的平均分分别为4.12(标准差4.14)和3.13(标准差3.66)(=0.01)。在家庭子量表中,RPOH组和GOH组分别为2.24(标准差3.12)和1.29(标准差2.52)(=0.01)。RPOH组对OHRQoL的影响最大。
