The study investigates the existing correlation between self-perceived malocclusion, the psychosocial impact of dental esthetics, and whether this link involves personality traits.
The 179 questionnaires from 615 undergraduates in Wenzhou were used for analysis after applying the exclusion criteria. The Psychosocial Impact of the Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ) was administered to evaluate participants' perceptions of the psychosocial impacts of malocclusion. The need for orthodontic treatment was assessed using the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). The Chinese version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Short Scale (EPQ-RSC) evaluated participants' personality characteristics. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to assess differences between the IOTN-Dental Health Component (DHC) and expectations of orthodontic treatment. Linear regression was applied with PADAQ and its subscale scores against possible variables.
The total and subscale PIDAQ scores were positively correlated with neuroticism. Total PIDAQ scores, the DHC, and the Aesthetic Component (AC) were significantly positively correlated with the subjective AC. The DHC was significantly negatively correlated with extroversion.
We confirmed a modest link between the need for orthodontic treatment and the psychosocial impact of dental esthetics.
本研究调查了自我感知的错颌畸形、牙齿美观的心理社会影响以及这种联系是否涉及个性特征之间的现有相关性。
在应用排除标准后,对来自温州的 615 名本科生的 179 份问卷进行了分析。使用口腔审美心理社会影响问卷(PIDAQ)评估参与者对错颌畸形心理社会影响的感知。使用正畸治疗需求指数(IOTN)评估正畸治疗的需求。艾森克人格问卷-短式量表(EPQ-RSC)的中文版评估参与者的人格特征。Kruskal-Wallis 检验用于评估 IOTN-牙齿健康成分(DHC)和正畸治疗期望之间的差异。使用线性回归,将 PADAQ 及其分量表评分与可能的变量进行对比。
PIDAQ 的总分和分量表评分与神经质呈正相关。总分 PIDAQ、DHC 和审美成分(AC)与主观 AC 呈显著正相关。DHC 与外向性呈显著负相关。
我们证实了正畸治疗需求与牙齿美观的心理社会影响之间存在适度的联系。
