Abstract

Objetive: To determine the impact of dental erosion on the oral health related quality of life in preschool children aged 3 to 5 years. Material and Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study was carried out. The sample consisted of 150 preschoolers from a preschool in the suburban areas of Lima, Peru. The Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) index was used for the evaluation of dental erosion; and the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) was used to measure quality of life. The data were analyzed in the statistical program SPSS v.25. Results: A prevalence of erosion of 40.7% was observed; with an initial loss of tooth surface in 28% and a loss of hard tissue of <50% of the surface area in 12% of the examined children. No statistically significant association was found between the impact of erosion and the oral health related quality of life (p> 0.05). However, the dimension with the highest score was functional limitations. Conclusion: The prevalence of dental erosion in preschool children was high, and dental erosion did not show an impact on the oral health related quality of life.

目的:了解3 ~ 5岁学龄前儿童牙糜烂对口腔健康相关生活质量的影响。材料与方法:采用观察性横断面研究。样本由秘鲁利马郊区一所幼儿园的150名学龄前儿童组成。采用基本侵蚀磨损检查(BEWE)指标评价牙体侵蚀;采用早期儿童口腔健康影响量表(ECOHIS)衡量生活质量。使用SPSS v.25统计软件对数据进行分析。结果:口腔糜烂率为40.7%;初步牙面损失28%，硬组织损失0.05)。然而，得分最高的维度是功能限制。结论:学龄前儿童口腔糜烂患病率较高，对口腔健康相关生活质量无影响。
