Evaluate the impact of gingivitis on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) amongst 12-year-old schoolchildren from Quito, Ecuador.
We evaluated 998 school children using the Community Periodontal Index for gingival bleeding and calculus. OHRQoL was assessed with the Child Perceptions Questionnaire 11-14 (CPQ) questionnaire.
Of the 998 schoolchildren, 93% had gingival bleeding and 73% had dental calculus. Schoolchildren with more than one sextant with gingival bleeding had 1.18 times higher mean CPQ (RR 1.18, 95% CI 1.11-1.27) than those with none or just one affected sextant. Male schoolchildren presented a 15% lower mean Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ) (RT 0.85; 95% CI 0.76-0.96). Children whose parents had incomplete secondary education had a 15% lower mean CPQ (RT 0.85; 95% CI 0.77-0.94). Bleeding in more than one sextant was significantly associated with worse quality of life in the emotional well-being (RT 1.40, 95% CI 1.03-1.90) and social well-being domains (RT 1.76, 95% CI 1.32-2.34).
Gingival bleeding negatively impacted the OHRQoL of 12-year-old Ecuadorian schoolchildren living in Quito.
评估厄瓜多尔基多市 12 岁学龄儿童牙龈炎对口腔健康相关生活质量(OHRQoL)的影响。
我们使用社区牙周指数(CPI)评估了 998 名学龄儿童的牙龈出血和牙石情况。采用儿童感知问卷 11-14 版(CPQ)评估 OHRQoL。
在 998 名学龄儿童中,93%有牙龈出血,73%有牙石。有多于一个象限牙龈出血的儿童 CPQ 平均值高出 1.18 倍(RR 1.18,95%CI 1.11-1.27),而仅有一个象限或一个象限以下牙龈出血的儿童 CPQ 平均值较低。男童 CPQ 平均值低 15%(RT 0.85;95%CI 0.76-0.96)。父母未完成中等教育的儿童 CPQ 平均值低 15%(RT 0.85;95%CI 0.77-0.94)。多于一个象限牙龈出血与情绪健康(RT 1.40,95%CI 1.03-1.90)和社会健康领域(RT 1.76,95%CI 1.32-2.34)的生活质量较差显著相关。
