SEVERE MALOCCLUSION NEGATIVELY IMPACTS ADOLESCENTS’ QUALITY OF LIFE
Journal Title: Revista Científica do CRO-RJ / Rio de Janeiro Dental Journal - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: To assess the impact of severe malocclusion on adolescents’ oral health- related quality of life (OHRQoL). Methods: This study consisted of a sample of 117 adolescents between 11 and 12 years, who answered the Brazilian version of the short form of the Child Perception Questionnaire (CPQ 11-14 ). This questionnaire has 16 items distributed equally across four domains: oral symptoms (OS), functional limitations (FL), emotional well-being (EW) and social well-being (SW). Higher scores indicate a greater negative impact on OHRQoL. Malocclusion was evaluated using the Dental Aesthetic Index. Adolescents were assigned to the following categories: no or slight malocclusion, defined malocclusion and severe malocclusion. Descriptive analysis, the Kruskal Wallis test, post hoc test, univariate and multivariate logistic regression were conducted. Results: Individuals with severe malocclusion presented significantly higher scores than those with no or slight malocclusion for the EW ( p =0.001), SW ( p =0.027) and for the overall CPQ 11-14 score ( p =0.015). Adolescents with severe malocclusion showed a 2.63 greater chance of presenting a high negative impact on OHRQoL than those with no or slight malocclusion regardless of the confounding variables (CI=1.07–6.45, p =0.035). Conclusion: Severe malocclusion negatively impacts adolescents’ OHRQoL.
