Abstract

Background: Individuals with a stronger sense of coherence (SOC) often show healthier behaviors. As parents, especially mothers, are behavioral role models for their children, this study aimed to explore the role of the mothers' SOC in prediction of the risk of dental caries in a sample of children aged 11-12 years old.

Design: Cross-sectional study with 173 mother-child pairs enrolled by multi-stage sampling from four public schools in Torbat-e-Heydarieh, Iran. The data were obtained, using a demographic-health information sheet and the SOC-13 scale. Dental examinations of children were performed using the decay, missing and filled teeth index for primary (dmft) and permanent teeth (DMFT). Poisson regression analyses estimated the role of the mothers' SOC in predicting the relative risk (RR) of children's dental caries.

Results: Mean dmft and DMFT were 3.4 ± 3.1 and 2.7 ± 2.9 respectively (medium severity). After controlling for demographic and health variables in regression models, greater maternal SOC indicated a protective effect against dental caries in primary (RR: 0.96; 95% CI:0.96-0-97) and permanent teeth (RR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.95-0.97) of their children.

Conclusions: With greater maternal SOC, the risk of children's dental caries decreased. Whilst this relationship was not as strong as in previous studies in other countries, it can be a platform for further research and perhaps planning to identify children who are at a greater risk of dental caries before starting dental examinations in schools.

母亲的连贯性感在预测儿童龋齿风险中的作用。

背景:连贯性意识强的个体往往表现出更健康的行为。由于父母，尤其是母亲是孩子的行为榜样，本研究旨在探讨母亲SOC在预测11-12岁儿童患龋风险中的作用。设计:横断面研究，173对母子通过多阶段抽样从伊朗Torbat-e-Heydarieh的四所公立学校入选。数据是使用人口健康信息表和SOC-13量表获得的。采用乳牙(dmft)和恒牙(dmft)的蛀牙、缺牙和补牙指数对儿童进行牙齿检查。泊松回归分析估计了母亲的SOC在预测儿童龋齿相对风险(RR)中的作用。结果:dmft和dmft平均分别为3.4±3.1和2.7±2.9(中度)。在回归模型中控制人口统计学和健康变量后，较高的母亲SOC对初级龋齿有保护作用(RR: 0.96;95% CI:0.96-0-97)和恒牙(RR: 0.96;95% CI: 0.95-0.97)。结论:母亲SOC越高，儿童患龋的风险越低。虽然这种关系不像以前在其他国家的研究那么强，但它可以为进一步的研究提供一个平台，也许可以在开始在学校进行牙科检查之前确定哪些儿童患龋齿的风险更大。

期刊介绍： The journal is concerned with dental public health and related subjects. Dental public health is the science and the art of preventing oral disease, promoting oral health, and improving the quality of life through the organised efforts of society. The discipline covers a wide range and includes such topics as: -oral epidemiology- oral health services research- preventive dentistry - especially in relation to communities- oral health education and promotion- clinical research - with particular emphasis on the care of special groups- behavioural sciences related to dentistry- decision theory- quality of life- risk analysis- ethics and oral health economics- quality assessment. The journal publishes scientific articles on the relevant fields, review articles, discussion papers, news items, and editorials. It is of interest to dentists working in dental public health and to other professionals concerned with disease prevention, health service planning, and health promotion throughout the world. In the case of epidemiology of oral diseases the Journal prioritises national studies unless local studies have major methodological innovations or information of particular interest.
