Abstract

Objective

To investigate the impact of various degrees of white spot lesions (WSLs) of maxillary anterior teeth on the aesthetic perception and treatment satisfaction among orthodontic patients, orthodontists and other dental specialists and to evaluate the differences among the three groups.

Methods

A total of 45 orthodontic patients (OP), 45 orthodontists (OR) and 45 other dental specialists (OS) were recruited. Subjective evaluations of perceived aesthetics and treatment satisfaction were performed towards eight digitally generated photographs of maxillary anterior teeth with incremental degrees of WSLs using a numerical visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 to 100. Data were collected and analysed with descriptive statistics, repeated one-way analysis of variance and multivariable generalized estimating equations.

Results

A total of 135 valid questionnaires were collected. Regarding aesthetic scores for WSLs, OP gave more positive scores than OR and OS (p < .05) towards excessive white spot formation without colouration and were more tolerant than OR (p < .05) towards excessive white spot formation with slight colouration. The level of treatment satisfaction for slight to severe WSLs without cavitation was higher in OP than OR. Patients with higher education levels had more negative scores for aesthetic perception and treatment satisfaction (p < .05). Patients who brushed teeth more frequently scored lower in treatment satisfaction (p < .05).

Conclusions

Orthodontists were the most critical when evaluating aesthetics and treatment satisfaction for slight to severe WSLs without cavitation. For orthodontic patients, better oral hygiene habits and higher education levels were associated with more critical attitudes towards WSLs.

正畸患者、正畸医生和其他牙科专家对与白斑病变相关的美学感知和治疗满意度。

目的调查不同程度的上颌前牙白斑对正畸患者、正畸医生和其他牙科专家的美学感受和治疗满意度的影响，并评估三组之间的差异：共招募了 45 名正畸患者（OP）、45 名正畸医师（OR）和 45 名其他牙科专家（OS）。采用 0 至 100 的数字视觉模拟量表（VAS），对 8 张数字生成的上颌前牙 WSL 递增度照片的美感和治疗满意度进行主观评价。数据收集和分析采用了描述性统计、重复单因素方差分析和多变量广义估计方程：结果：共收集到 135 份有效问卷。关于WSL的美学评分，OP比OR和OS给出了更多的正面评分（p 结论：OP和OR的美学评分均高于OS：正畸医生在评价轻度至重度无龋WSL的美观度和治疗满意度时最为关键。对于正畸患者来说，较好的口腔卫生习惯和较高的教育水平与他们对 WSL 更挑剔的态度有关。

期刊介绍： Orthodontics & Craniofacial Research - Genes, Growth and Development is published to serve its readers as an international forum for the presentation and critical discussion of issues pertinent to the advancement of the specialty of orthodontics and the evidence-based knowledge of craniofacial growth and development. This forum is based on scientifically supported information, but also includes minority and conflicting opinions. The objective of the journal is to facilitate effective communication between the research community and practicing clinicians. Original papers of high scientific quality that report the findings of clinical trials, clinical epidemiology, and novel therapeutic or diagnostic approaches are appropriate submissions. Similarly, we welcome papers in genetics, developmental biology, syndromology, surgery, speech and hearing, and other biomedical disciplines related to clinical orthodontics and normal and abnormal craniofacial growth and development. In addition to original and basic research, the journal publishes concise reviews, case reports of substantial value, invited essays, letters, and announcements. The journal is published quarterly. The review of submitted papers will be coordinated by the editor and members of the editorial board. It is policy to review manuscripts within 3 to 4 weeks of receipt and to publish within 3 to 6 months of acceptance.
