Abstract

Purpose: To determine the extent to which history of dental pain explains the impact of dental caries on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among pre-schoolers.
Methods: A population-based study was conducted with a random sample of 769 five-year-old children. Preschoolers self-completed the Brazilian version of the Scale of Oral Health Outcomes for Five-Year-Old Children (SOHO-5), and caregivers completed a questionnaire addressing sociodemographic characteristics. Children had a dental/oral examination done by dentists. The effect of cavitated caries lesions on OHRQoL explained by pain was estimated by the percentage variation of the prevalence ratio (PR) for the impact of cavitated lesions on OHRQoL (PRc), and this measure was adjusted by dental pain (PRct). PR was determined through multiple Poisson regression (P <0.05).
Results: The prevalence of cavitated lesions was 58.8 percent; among this cohort, 23.8 percent reported dental pain. The PRc was 1.063 and PRct was 1.039. Thirty-eight percent of the impact of dental caries on OHRQoL was due to dental pain.
Conclusion: History of dental pain explains 38 percent of the impact of dental caries on the OHRQoL of preschoolers.

龋齿引起的牙痛对儿童口腔健康相关生活质量的影响。

目的:确定牙齿疼痛史在多大程度上解释了学龄前儿童龋齿对口腔健康相关生活质量(OHRQoL)的影响。方法:随机抽取769名5岁儿童进行人群研究。学龄前儿童自行完成了巴西版的五岁儿童口腔健康结果量表(SOHO-5)，照顾者完成了一份关于社会人口统计学特征的问卷。儿童由牙医进行牙科/口腔检查。由疼痛解释的空化龋齿对OHRQoL的影响通过空化龋齿对OHRQoL影响的患病率(PR)的百分比变化来估计，并通过牙痛(PRct)来调整这一措施。通过多元泊松回归确定PR (P)结果:空化病变患病率为58.8%;在这个队列中，23.8%的人报告了牙齿疼痛。PRc为1.063,PRct为1.039。龋齿对OHRQoL影响的38%是由于牙齿疼痛。结论:牙痛史解释了38%的龋齿对学龄前儿童OHRQoL的影响。

期刊介绍： Acquired after the merger between the American Society of Dentistry for Children and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry in 2002, the Journal of Dentistry for Children (JDC) is an internationally renowned journal whose publishing dates back to 1934. Published three times a year, JDC promotes the practice, education and research specifically related to the specialty of pediatric dentistry. It covers a wide range of topics related to the clinical care of children, from clinical techniques of daily importance to the practitioner, to studies on child behavior and growth and development. JDC also provides information on the physical, psychological and emotional conditions of children as they relate to and affect their dental health.
