This study aimed to analyse parenting styles as a possible factor associated with caries in foster children and adolescents who had been victims of domestic violence.
The study was carried out in nine foster shelters in Recife, Northeast Brazil, with a sample of 88 participants aged 8 to 17 years old. Data were collected through intraoral examinations to verify deft/DMFT indices, applying the Demandingness and Responsiveness Scales to determine parenting styles. In turn, sociodemographic data were retrieved from records filed at the institutions. Descriptive analysis was performed, with the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests being used to compare the categories of numerical variables.
The mean deft/DMFT was of 3.78 in children (8 and 9 years old) and 1.93 in adolescents (10 years old and older). Overall, the index was of 2.31. Neglect was the main reason for the children's admission to foster care, while neglectful was the most prevalent parenting style.
Children of indulgent parents had higher caries indices in both deciduous and permanent teeth, while children of authoritative (permanent teeth) and authoritarian parents (deciduous teeth) had the lowest caries indices. However, no significant associations were found between caries and parenting styles.
本研究旨在分析养育方式是否与曾遭受家庭暴力的寄养儿童和青少年的龋齿有关。
该研究在巴西东北部累西腓的 9 个寄养庇护所进行，样本包括 88 名 8 至 17 岁的参与者。通过口腔内检查收集数据，以验证龋齿（dmft）指数，采用要求性和反应性量表来确定养育方式。同时，从机构档案中检索社会人口学数据。采用描述性分析，使用曼-惠特尼和克朗-沃尔利斯检验比较数值变量的类别。
儿童（8 至 9 岁）的平均 dmft/deft 为 3.78，青少年（10 岁及以上）为 1.93。总体而言，指数为 2.31。忽视是儿童被送进寄养的主要原因，而忽视型是最常见的养育方式。
纵容型父母的孩子在乳牙和恒牙中都有更高的龋齿指数，而权威型（恒牙）和专制型（乳牙）父母的孩子龋齿指数最低。然而，龋齿与养育方式之间没有发现显著的关联。
