Dental fear and caries prevalence in schoolchildren with hearing impairment in Greece.
Purpose: There have been limited reports on hearing impaired (HI) children's oral health, but no data on their dental fear. The aim of this study was to assess dental fear and caries prevalence in HI children and adolescents.
Methods: Upon ethical approval, all elementary and junior/senior high schools for the HI in Greece were invited to participate in the study. Students were asked to fill in the Children's Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS). High school students additionally answered the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS). Both questionnaires were translated into sign language by the same licensed interpreter. Caries prevalence was evaluated by dmfs/DMFS indices. Statistics by SPSS Statistics 28 (IBM) included parametric and non-parametric tests (significance at p ≤ 0.05).
Results: 33 elementary and 53 junior/senior high school students (mean age = 10.89 ± 2.63 and 16.23 ± 1.33 years, respectively) participated in the study. Means of CFSS-DS were 24.1 ± 9.9 and 26.9 ± 10.5, respectively. Mean MDAS (high school students) was 11.3 ± 4.7. Mean dmfs was 2.5 ± 5.2 for elementary and mean DMFS was 3.5 ± 5.4 for elementary and 7.3 ± 9.0 for high school students, higher than similar-age general population. Dental fear was not significantly associated to age, gender, severity of hearing impairment (HI) or caries prevalence.
Conclusion: HI children present similar dental fear values, but higher caries prevalence compared to similar-age Greek hearing population.
期刊介绍:
The aim and scope of European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) is to promote research in all aspects of dentistry for children, including interceptive orthodontics and studies on children and young adults with special needs. The EAPD focuses on the publication and critical evaluation of clinical and basic science research related to children. The EAPD will consider clinical case series reports, followed by the relevant literature review, only where there are new and important findings of interest to Paediatric Dentistry and where details of techniques or treatment carried out and the success of such approaches are given.
