Abstract

Background: Bullying is a common behaviour among adolescents, with psychological and health impacts on both victims and bullies. Recently, bullying due to dental features has received serious attention due to its short- and long-term effects on the health and well-being of children and adolescents. However, there is a scarcity of studies that investigate the impact of treating dental problems on the cessation of bullying. This study aims to identify the impact of dental features and treatment of dental problems on the experience of being bullied.

Methods: A self-administered, modified version of a validated Arabic questionnaire was distributed to 300 dental patients with an age range of 10-18 years old. The variables studied were demographics, bullying due to dental features, the impact of dental treatment on the experience of being bullied, and the need for a program to stop bullying.

Conclusion: Bullying due to dental features is common among adolescents. Treatment of dental problems significantly lessens the act of bullying. Implementing anti-bullying programs that include paedodontists and orthodontists as stakeholders is important.

牙齿特征和牙齿问题治疗对一组青少年受欺负经历的影响。横断面研究。

背景：欺凌是青少年的常见行为，对受害者和欺凌者的心理和健康都有影响。最近，由于牙齿特征的欺凌对儿童和青少年的健康和福祉产生短期和长期影响，因此受到了严重关注。然而，很少有研究调查治疗牙齿问题对停止欺凌的影响。本研究旨在确定牙齿特征和牙齿问题的治疗对被欺负经历的影响。方法：向300名年龄在10-18岁之间的牙科患者分发一份经过验证的阿拉伯语问卷的自我管理、修改版。研究的变量包括人口统计数据、因牙齿特征引起的欺凌、牙科治疗对被欺凌经历的影响，以及是否需要一个制止欺凌的计划。结论：因牙齿特征造成的欺凌在青少年中很常见。牙齿问题的治疗大大减少了欺凌行为。实施包括恋童癖医生和正畸医生在内的反欺凌计划非常重要。
