This study aimed to assess the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) of pediatric patients (9-18 years old) who underwent root canal treatment (RCT) on first permanent molars (FPMs).
A cross-sectional study was conducted at three healthcare centers in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Participants (n = 482) completed the validated OHIP5-Ar questionnaire to assess OHRQoL. Responses were classified as "optimal" (no problems) or "less than optimal" (any reported problems). Logistic regression analyzed the relationship between OHRQoL and sociodemographic factors.
There were 66.8% children reported optimal OHRQoL after RCT. Logistic regression showed no significant association between optimal OHRQoL and gender, family income, or location of treated tooth. However, although not statistically significant. Treating only one FPM with RCT (compared to multiple teeth) and lower family income (compared to higher income) were more likely to have decreased or increased odds of optimal OHRQoL (AOR = 0.684 or 1.424; respectively).
RCT on FPMs can be a successful treatment option for pediatric patients, offering optimal oral health-related quality of life.
本研究旨在评估接受第一恒磨牙根管治疗(RCT)的9至18岁儿科患者的口腔健康相关生活质量(OHRQoL)。
在沙特阿拉伯吉达的三个医疗中心进行了一项横断面研究。参与者(n = 482)完成了经过验证的OHIP5-Ar问卷以评估OHRQoL。回答被分类为“最佳”(无问题)或“非最佳”(任何报告的问题)。逻辑回归分析了OHRQoL与社会人口学因素之间的关系。
66.8%的儿童在根管治疗后报告了最佳的OHRQoL。逻辑回归显示,最佳OHRQoL与性别、家庭收入或治疗牙齿的位置之间无显著关联。然而,虽然无统计学意义,但与治疗多颗牙齿相比,仅对一颗第一恒磨牙进行根管治疗以及与高收入家庭相比低收入家庭,其具有最佳OHRQoL的几率更有可能降低或增加(调整后比值比分别为0.684或1.424)。
第一恒磨牙的根管治疗对于儿科患者可能是一种成功的治疗选择,可提供最佳的口腔健康相关生活质量。
