Abstract

Background: Orthodontic malocclusions could affect oral health-related quality of life (OHR-QoL). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of overjet, overbite, and anterior crowding on OHR-QoL of adolescents.

Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study involved 143 adolescents (71 boys and 72 girls) aged 10-15 years seeking orthodontic treatment. OHR-QoL, self-esteem (SE), and behavioral problems were assessed by validated questionnaires (Child Perception Questionnaire (CPQ), Rosenberg's self-esteem questionnaire, and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires). Overbite, overjet, and Little's irregularity index (LII) of the upper and lower arch were measured using a digital caliper (at 0.01 mm) on plaster study models. The impact of these orthodontic parameters on OHR-QoL was analyzed. The association of demographic and psychological parameters with OHR-QoL was also evaluated.

Results: All participants completed the questionnaire. The mean score of CPQ was 16.08 ± 8.11. Overjet, overbite, and maxillary anterior crowding significantly impacted OHR-QoL. OHR-QoL was negatively affected as the severity of these orthodontic malocclusions increased. However, mandibular anterior crowding did not affect OHR-QoL. No significant associations were found between demographic factors (age and gender) or psychological parameters (SE and behavioral problems) and OHR-QoL.

Conclusions: Overjet showed a strong association with OHR-QoL, while maxillary anterior crowding had the least impact. Mandibular anterior crowding did not affect quality of life. This study highlighted the varying effects of different orthodontic malocclusions on OHR-QoL. This finding could be used by clinicians to prioritize the therapeutic needs of patients. The orthodontic treatment of patients with increased overjet should be prioritized due to its significant negative impact on OHR-QoL.

覆盖、覆盖和前牙拥挤对青少年口腔健康相关生活质量的影响:一项横断面研究
背景:正畸错会影响口腔健康相关生活质量(OHR-QoL)。本研究的目的是评估覆盖、覆盖咬合和前牙拥挤对青少年OHR-QoL的影响。材料和方法:本横断面研究纳入143名10-15岁寻求正畸治疗的青少年(71名男孩和72名女孩)。采用儿童知觉问卷(CPQ)、Rosenberg自尊问卷和优势与困难问卷对OHR-QoL、自尊(SE)和行为问题进行评估。在石膏研究模型上使用数字卡尺(0.01 mm)测量上、下弓的复咬、复喷和Little's不规则指数(LII)。分析正畸参数对OHR-QoL的影响。还评估了人口学和心理参数与OHR-QoL的关系。结果:所有参与者均完成问卷调查。CPQ平均得分为16.08±8.11。上颌前牙堆、上牙合和上牙堆对OHR-QoL有显著影响。OHR-QoL随着正畸错严重程度的增加而受到负面影响。然而,下颌前挤不影响OHR-QoL。人口统计学因素(年龄和性别)或心理参数(SE和行为问题)与OHR-QoL之间未发现显著关联。结论:上颌前牙拥挤对OHR-QoL的影响最小,上颌前牙拥挤对OHR-QoL的影响最大。下颌前侧拥挤不影响生活质量。本研究强调了不同正畸错对OHR-QoL的不同影响。这一发现可以被临床医生用来优先考虑患者的治疗需求。由于对OHR-QoL有明显的负面影响,因此应优先考虑正畸治疗。
