Parental behavior is known to influence the well-being and disease outcomes in children. The environment which they create for the child can influence oral health behaviors and status. Hence, the present study aimed to determine the association of parental behavior with oral health status among 3-5-year-old children in Bengaluru city.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 children aged 3-5 years. The child's demographic profile including socioeconomic status, dental history, oral habits, and oral hygiene practices was recorded. A 21-item prevalidated Parenting Style and Dimension Questionnaire (PSDQ) was used to assess parental behavior. WHO oral health pro forma (2013) was used to assess the oral health status of children. Chi-square test, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney -test and binary logistic regression were applied. Statistical significance was considered at < 0.05.
The majority of parents were authoritative (64.0%). The mean age of children was 4.15 ± 0.74 years. Sixty-one percent of the children had caries experience. The permissive group had a higher mean dmft (4.25 ± 3.43) than the authoritarian (2.1 ± 1.67) and authoritative group (1.51 ± 1.94) ( < 0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between authoritative and permissive ( < 0.001) and authoritarian and permissive ( < 0.001) groups for dt and dmft. Parenting style was significantly associated with dental caries and trauma.
There is an association between parental behavior and oral health status among 3-5-year-old children. Hence, a prior appraisal of parental behavior is suggested for better oral health outcomes in children.
A prior appraisal of parenting style aids the clinician in the more efficient management of children through proper choice of behavior guidance technique.

已知父母行为会影响儿童的幸福和疾病结局。他们为孩子营造的环境会影响口腔健康行为和状况。因此，本研究旨在确定班加罗尔市3至5岁儿童的父母行为与口腔健康状况之间的关联。
对300名3至5岁的儿童进行了一项横断面研究。记录了儿童的人口统计学资料，包括社会经济状况、牙科病史、口腔习惯和口腔卫生习惯。使用一份经过预验证的包含21个条目的育儿方式和维度问卷（PSDQ）来评估父母行为。采用世界卫生组织口腔健康表格（2013年）来评估儿童的口腔健康状况。应用卡方检验、Kruskal-Wallis检验、Mann-Whitney检验和二元逻辑回归分析。以P<0.05为具有统计学意义。
大多数父母属于权威型（64.0%）。儿童的平均年龄为4.15±0.74岁。61%的儿童有龋齿经历。放任型组的平均龋失补牙面数（dmft）（4.25±3.43）高于专制型组（2.1±1.67）和权威型组（1.51±1.94）（P<0.001）。在龋失补牙面数（dt）和龋失补牙面数（dmft）方面，权威型组与放任型组（P<0.001）以及专制型组与放任型组（P<0.001）之间存在统计学显著差异。育儿方式与龋齿和牙外伤显著相关。
3至5岁儿童的父母行为与口腔健康状况之间存在关联。因此，建议对父母行为进行预先评估，以改善儿童的口腔健康结局。
对育儿方式进行预先评估有助于临床医生通过正确选择行为指导技术更有效地管理儿童。
