Objectives: Aim of this systematic review was to assess oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of patients after stroke. Methods: The systematic literature search was performed on December 2021 based on PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus, with the search terms: “oral health-related quality of life” AND stroke OR apoplexy OR ischemic stroke OR apoplectic insult. Articles exclusively examining patients after stroke and reporting a well-documented and valid OHRQoL measurement were included. Results: Out of 68 findings, 8 studies were included. The number of patients ranged between 31 and 549 individuals, mean age between 55.7 and 73.9 years, and 49–72% of individuals were male. Two studies included a healthy control group. Oral health parameters were rarely reported across studies. Five studies reported on the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) 14 for OHRQoL, showing means between 2.87 and 33.0 in sum score. Three studies applied Geriatric Oral Assessment Index (GOHAI), with sum scores between 45.6 and 55.0. Only one study found worse OHRQoL in stroke patients compared to healthy controls. Two studies reported on an association between OHRQoL and general quality of life. Three studies found OHRQoL to be associated with different oral health parameters. Only one study found OHRQoL to be associated with stroke-related parameters. Conclusions: Patients after stroke show a reduced OHRQoL. Medical staff and caregivers should support oral hygiene and dental visits, to foster patients’ oral health and OHRQoL.

Background: This systematic review evaluates the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of patients with chronic respiratory diseases. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed based on the PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus, using the search terms: “oral health-related quality of life” and “respiratory disease” or “lung” and “oral health-related quality of life.” Full-text articles published until June 30, 2021 and reporting any OHRQoL measurement in children or adults with a chronic respiratory disease or condition were included and analyzed qualitatively. Results: A total of seven out of 44 studies were included, of which four studies examined adults and three studies investigated children. The respective diseases were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (n = 2), sleep apnea (n = 2), severe asthma (n = 1), cystic fibrosis (n = 1), and lung transplantation (n = 1). Four studies confirmed a worse OHRQoL in the respiratory diseased group compared to healthy controls. The overall OHRQoL was reduced in the included studies. Oral health, healthrelated quality of life, and disease-related parameters were rarely examined with regard to OHRQoL. Conclusion: Patients with chronic respiratory diseases show a reduced OHRQoL. Oral health should be fostered in these individuals to support their OHRQoL.

Background: Molar–incisor hypomineralization (MIH) has a strong negative effect on oralhealth-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Malformed teeth can be hypersensitive, and the discoloration might affect children’s appearances, reducing their well-being. The purpose of the study was to investigate how hypomineralized incisors and molars differ in children’s perceived OHRQoL. Materials and Methods: 252 children aged 7–10 years old were included and subdivided into three equal groups (n = 84). Group A included children with asymptomatic molars and affected incisors. Group B included children presenting only affected molars. Group C was the control group, with children showing no MIH. All participants were asked to complete the German version of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ-G8-10) to measure OHRQoL. Results: Participants in the posterior group showed a median total CPQ of 13.4 (±1.7), which was significantly higher than scores in the anterior and control group, which showed a median total CPQ of 8.4 (±1.4) and 4.2 (±0.7), respectively. Children in the posterior group suffered more from oral symptoms and functional limitations, whereas the anterior group dealt more with social and emotional well-being problems. Conclusions: The position of the MIH-affected teeth causes different influences on perceived OHRQoL.

Background: The present cross-sectional study assessed oral health, nutritional condition, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in older German people in need of care. Methods: The participants were recruited from eight nursing homes (including three nursing homes with assisted living) and one mobile nursing service. Oral health, including dental status (decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMF-T), root caries), periodontal treatment needs, and prosthetic conditions, was recorded. Nutritional status was assessed using the screening of the “Mini Nutritional Assessment” (MNA). The OHRQoL was measured using the German short-form of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-G14) and summarized as a total sum score as well as the four dimensions “oral function”, “psychosocial impact”, “pain” and “orofacial appearance”. Statistics: Linear logistic regression analyses. Results: A total of 151 participants (age: 84.17 ± 7.8 years) were included. Most participants (60.3%) were nursing home residents. Nearly half of the individuals (47%) were edentulous and 75.4% of the dentate subjects required periodontal treatment. A total of 115 of the subjects had at least one denture. According to the MNA screening, 107 (70.9%) older people were at risk of malnutrition or already suffered from malnutrition. The median OHIP-G14 sum score was 3 (mean 5.7 ± 7.67). Regression analysis revealed MNA to be influenced by DMF-T, D-T, M-T and OHIP G14 sum score and root caries (pi < 0.01). Within the regression model, missing teeth (β: −11.9, CI95: −6.4–−1.9; p < 0.01) were the strongest influential factor on MNA, followed by DMF-T (β: 5.1, CI95: 1.7–6.2; p < 0.01). Conclusions: Older people in nursing settings show a high prevalence of oral diseases, risk of malnutrition and nearly unimpaired OHRQoL. Dental care should be fostered in these individuals, whereby OHRQoL might be a further hint for increased risk of malnutrition.

Background: Oral and dental diseases is a major part of the global disease burden. Poor oral health has a significant impact on the general well-being of people. In contrast with prior decades high rates of oral diseases may be found in low- and middle income countries. Populations that are particularly vulnerable are more likely to develop poor oral health. As a consequence of human distress related to war, poverty and natural disasters the accomplishments of humanitarian aid organizations has a direct impact on people´s health and well-being. Purpose: The aim of the present study is to examine the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement as well as Doctors without borders concerning documents and guidelines on oral health. A further aim is to explore the knowledge of oral health related topics of delegates from the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). Method: The study is designed as a literature review and a questionnaire survey. Results: Within the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and Doctors Without Borders there are a limited number of guidelines on oral health and they are rarely mentioned in the same documents as non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The responses of the study revealed that the participants generally have a limited knowledge about measures on oral health in the IFRC. Conclusion: Both the literature review and the questionnaire survey study confirms that there is an absence of clear and specific guidelines on oral health care related activities within IFRC. / Bakgrund: Mun- och tandsjukdomar utgör en stor del av den globala sjukdomsbördan. Dålig mun- och tandhälsa har en stark påverkan på det allmänna välbefinnandet. I motsats till tidigare, ses idag höga frekvenser av karies även i låg- och medelinkomstländer. Populationer vilka befinner sig i extra utsatta kontexter löper större risk att utveckla dålig munhälsa. Som en följd av mänskligt lidande i form av händelser relaterade till krig, fattigdom och naturkatastrofer har aktiviteter utförda av humanitära hjälporganisationer en direkt inverkan på hälsa och välbefinnande. Syfte: Syftet med föreliggande studie är att studera dokument och riktlinjer rörande munhälsa inom Internationella Röda korset och Röda halvmånen och Läkare utan gränser. Ett ytterligare syfte är att undersöka kunskapen om hälsorelaterade frågor kring munhälsa hos delegater från Internationella federationen för Röda Korset och Röda Halvmånen (IFRC). Metod: Studien är utförd som en litteratur-sammanställning och som en enkätundersökning. Resultat: Inom Internationella Röda korset och Röda halvmånen samt Läkare utan gränser återfinns begränsat antal riktlinjer rörande oral hälsa vilka dock sällan nämns i samma dokument som icke-smittsamma sjukdomar (NCDs). Av enkätsvaren i studien framgår det att de medverkande generellt har en begränsad kunskap kring åtgärder rörande munhälsa inom IFRC. Konklusion: Deltagarna i denna studie bekräftar resultaten i litteraturstudien om en avsaknad av tydliga och konkreta riktlinjer för munhygienrelaterade aktiviteter inom IFRC.

A presença de doenças e desordens bucais pode produzir um impacto na qualidade de vida de crianças pré-escolares e de seus pais, influenciando na saúde oral e bem-estar geral destas pessoas. Além disso, os fatores socioeconômicos podem confundir esta associação e, no entanto, isso ainda não tem sido testado nesta idade. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o impacto da Cárie Precoce na Infância (CPI), Traumatismos Dentários (TD) e Tipos de Maloclusão Anterior (TMA) na Qualidade de Vida Relacionada à Saúde Bucal (QVRSB) de crianças entre 2 e 5 anos de idade e de seus pais, ajustados por fatores socioeconômicos, bem como, avaliar a presença destas condições clínicas bucais em associação a estes mesmos fatores. Pais de 260 crianças responderam ao Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) (06 domínios) sobre suas percepções em relação à QVRSB de seus filhos e suas condições socioeconômicas. Dois examinadores calibrados (Kappa=0,8 para CPI; 0,9 para TD e 1,0 para TMA) avaliaram a gravidade da CPI através do índice ceo-d (WHO, 1997) e as crianças foram categorizadas em: 0=livres de cárie; 1-5 =baixa gravidade; 6=alta gravidade. Os TD foram avaliados de acordo com a Classificação de Andreasen e Andreasen (1994) e as maloclusões de acordo com a presença de dois TMA, mordida aberta anterior e sobresaliência maior que 4 mm. A QVRSB foi mensurada através dos escores por domínios e total do ECOHIS. A regressão de Poisson foi realizada para associação dos fatores com QVRSB. Crianças mais velhas tiveram risco significativamente maior de desenvolver CPI, enquanto que ser menina, possuir renda familiar mensal mais alta e ter mães mais velhas, e que trabalham fora do lar, foram fatores de proteção para CPI (p<0,05). Nenhuma das condições socioeconômicas foi estatisticamente associada aos TD e TMA (p>0,05). Nos 6 domínios e no escore total do ECOHIS, a gravidade da CPI apresentou impacto negativo na QVRSB (p<0,001). Os TD não mostraram impacto negativo na QVRSB no escore total do ECOHIS, mas foi encontrada associação significante no domínio de auto-imagem e interação social no que diz respeito às lesões nos tecidos periodontais e alterações de cor. Os TMA não mostraram impacto negativo na QVRSB (p>0,05). Quanto maior a idade da criança, maior a aglomeração na casa, menor renda familiar e se a mãe trabalha fora do lar, maior o impacto negativo na QVRSB (p<0,05). O modelo multivariado ajustado mostrou que a alta gravidade da CPI (RR=3,81; IC95%= 2,66 - 5,46; p<0,001) está associada ao maior impacto negativo na QVRSB, sendo a alta renda familiar um fator de proteção (RR=0,93; IC95% 0,87 - 0,99; p<0,001). A gravidade da CPI apresenta um impacto negativo na QVRSB de crianças pré-escolares e de seus pais, enquanto que os TD e TMA não apresentam. As famílias de alta renda familiar relataram uma melhor QVRSB independentemente da presença de doenças e desordens bucais. / The presence of oral diseases and disorders can produce an impact on quality of life of preschool children and their parents, affecting their oral health and well-being. However, socioeconomic factors could confound this association, but it has not been yet tested at this age. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of Early Childhood Caries (ECC), Traumatic Dental Injuries (TDI) and Anterior Malocclusions Traits (AMT) on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of children between 2 and 5 years of age and their parents adjusted by socioeconomic factors, and also to assess the presence of these oral clinical conditions in association to socioeconomic factors. Parents of 260 children answered the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) (6 domains) on their perception of the childrens OHRQoL and socioeconomic conditions. Two calibrated dentists (Kappa=0.8 for ECC; 0.9 for TDI and 1.0 for AMT) examined the severity of ECC according to dmf-t index (WHO, 1997) and children were categorize in: 0= caries free; 1-5= low severity; 6= high severity. TDI were examined according to Andreasen e Andreasen (1994) classification and malocclusions according to the presence of two AMT, anterior open bite and overjet greater than 4mm. OHRQoL was measured through ECOHIS domain and total scores and Poisson regression was used to associate the different factors to the outcome. Older children had significantly greater risk of developing caries, and girls were at less risk. A greater family income, older mothers, and if the mothers work away from home were also significantly protective factors for dental caries (p<0.05). None of the socioeconomic conditions were statistically associated to TDI or AMT (p>0.05). In each domain and overall ECOHIS scores, the severity of ECC showed a negative impact on OHRQoL (p<0.001). TDI did not show a negative impact on OHRQoL in the overall ECOHIS score, but significant association was found in the self-image/social interaction domain for injuries to the periodontal tissues and discoloration. AMT did not show a negative impact on OHRQoL nor in each domain (p>0.05). The increase in the childs age, higher household crowding, lower family income and mother working out of home were significantly associated with OHRQoL (p<0.05). The multivariate adjusted model showed that the high severity of ECC (RR=3.81; 95% CI= 2.66, 5.46; p<0.001) was associated to greater negative impact on OHRQoL, while high family income was a protective factor for OHRQoL (RR=0.93; 95% CI= 0.87, 0.99; p<0.001). The severity of ECC presents a negative impact on the OHRQoL of preschool children and their parents, whereas TDI and AMT do not. Families with higher income report better OHRQoL at this age, independent of presence of oral diseases and disorders.

Introdução: Embora haja estudos sobre a qualidade de vida em pacientes com doença renal crônica (DRC) em relação aos seus impactos psicológicos e comportamentais, a ênfase da qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal (QVRSB) em crianças e adolescentes portadores de DRC não existe na literatura. Por se tratar de uma doença sistêmica com repercussões clínicas bucais significativas, a avaliação do impacto das mesmas sobre a QVRSB se mostra essencial. Objetivo: Nosso objetivo foi avaliar a relação entre saúde bucal e QVRSB de crianças e adolescentes com DRC e comparar ao grupo controle de crianças e adolescentes sem manifestação clínica de DRC (saudáveis). Material e método: Este estudo transversal contou com a participação de 100 crianças e adolescentes com DRC cadastrados no Instituto da Criança (ICr/USP), com idade entre 8-18 anos (média ± desvio padrão = 13,04 ± 2,57), e 100 crianças e adolescentes saudáveis que foram pareados por gênero e idade aos nefropatas e selecionados na Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade de São Paulo - FOUSP. A Saúde bucal foi caracterizada por meio da avaliação do Índice de sangramento gengival (ISG), Índice de placa (IP), Índice de dentes cariados, perdidos e obturados (CPO-D) e Índice de defeito de desenvolvimento do esmalte dentário (DDE). Para avaliação da QVRSB foi selecionado o instrumento Peds QL® - Escala de Saúde Bucal - relato da criança e adolescente. Resultados: Cada grupo era composto por 67 crianças e adolescentes (67%) do gênero masculino e 33 crianças e adolescentes (33%) do gênero feminino. Nas avaliações bucais observamos que, em geral, a maioria das crianças e adolescentes com DRC apresentaram inflamação gengival moderada a severa (77%), pobre higiene bucal (62%) e DDE (66%) significativamente maiores do que o grupo de crianças e adolescentes saudáveis, inflamação gengival moderada a severa (12%) (p< 0,001),pobre higiene bucal (6%)(p<0,001) e DDE (10%) (p<0,001). No entanto, em relação à experiência da doença cárie o grupo controle apresentou uma maior experiência da doença cárie comparado ao grupo de crianças com DRC (p< 0,001). Quando avaliamos os escores médios entre os dois grupos, observamos que os pacientes do grupo com DRC apresentaram pior percepção da QVRSB (59,25 ± 22,80) do que os pacientes do grupo controle (80,5 ± 16,63). O modelo multivariado mostrou a associação de menor experiência da doença cárie, inflamação gengival independente da intensidade com a QVRSB de crianças e adolescentes com DRC e no grupo controle a associação foi apenas com experiência da doença cárie com a QVRSB. Conclusão: Diante disso, intervenção odontológica precoce em pacientes com DRC deve ser realizada, sempre que possível, com o objetivo de planejar ações que melhorem a saúde bucal desses indivíduos, uma vez que desordens e doenças bucais podem afetar diretamente os aspectos da QVRSB de crianças e adolescentes com DRC. / Introduction: A few number of studies focusing on the quality of life of chronic kidney disease (CKD) individuals concerning psychological and behavioural impacts have been reported in the literature. Nevertheless, there are no studies focusing on the impact of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of CKD children and adolescents. CKD is a systemic disease that displays significant oral impact. Therefore, it has been essential to evaluate these impacts on the OHRQoL of this population. Aim: Evaluate the relationship between the oral health and OHRQoL of CKD children and adolescents, and compare it to a control group.Material and method: One hundred children and adolescents, aged 8-18 years (mean age ± SD = 13,04 ± 2,57), with definite medical diagnosis of CKD and attending the Children Institute of the Medical School - University of São Paulo (USP), comprised this cross-sectional study. The control group was comprised of 100 clinically healthy individuals attending the Dental School - University of São Paulo. Individuals were age and gender matched. Oral health was characterised by means of the gingival bleeding index (GBI), plaque index (PI), the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index and the developmental enamel defect (DDE) index. All children and adolescents answered the Peds QL® instrument- oral health scale. Results: Each group was composed of 67 male children and adolescents (67%) and 33 female (33%) individuals. Overall, oral health evaluation showed that 77% children and adolescents presented moderate to severe gingival inflammation, poor oral hygiene (62%) and DDE (66%) significantly higher than the control group that presented moderate to severe gingival inflammation (12%) (p< 0.001), poor oral hygiene (6%) (p< 0.001) and DDE (10%) (p<0.001). However, concerning dental caries experience, the control group showed greater values compared to the CKD group (p< 0.001). Evaluation of the mean score values between groups demonstrated that CKD individuals show worse perception of OHRQoL (59.25 ± 22.80) compared to the control group (80.5 ± 16.63). Multivariate analysis showed smaller association among dental caries experience, gingival inflammation (independent on the severity) with the OHRQoL of these individuals. In the control group, the association occurred only for the dental caries experience. Conclusion: Early dental intervention in CKD individuals should always occur, aiming action plans that improve their oral health, once oral manifestations can directly affect the aspects of the OHRQoL of these individuals.

Os objetivos foram: 1) traduzir e adaptar transculturalmente ao idioma português do Brasil a Scale of Oral Health Outcomes for 5-year-old children (SOHO-5); 2) avaliar as propriedades psicométricas (confiabilidade, validade e responsividade) da versão de pais e versão de crianças do SOHO-5; 3) avaliar o impacto da cárie dentária e leões dentárias traumáticas (LDT) na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal (QVRSB) da criança desde a percepção de pais e filhos; 4) avaliar a concordância entre relatos de pais e filhos sobre à QVRSB da criança. A adaptação transcultural do SOHO-5 foi testada em dois pilotos com 40 crianças de 5 e 6 anos de idade e seus pais. A validade e confiabilidade foram testadas em 193 crianças e pais. Das 193, 154 completaram o SOHO-5 de 7 a 14 dias após o tratamento odontológico da criança para analisar a responsividade. Para este fim eles também responderam julgamentos de transição global sobre a percepção de mudança na saúde bucal após tratamento. As medidas de responsividade incluíram tamanhos de efeito (TE) e médias de respostas padronizadas (MRP). Para avaliação do impacto, 335 pares de crianças e pais completaram o SOHO-5, e as crianças foram examinadas por três examinadores calibrados. A concordância entre relatos foi avaliada em 298 pares mãe-criança e 37 pares pai-criança. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a consistência interna pelo alfa de Cronbach foi de 0,90 e 0,77 para a versão da criança e dos pais, respectivamente. Para a confiabilidade teste-reteste, o Coeficiente de Correlação Intraclasse (CCI) do escore total da versão da criança foi 0,92 e dos pais 0,98. O SOHO-5 mostrou validade de construto e discriminante satisfatória. Em relação à responsividade, houve melhora na saúde bucal após o tratamento em ambas as versões (p<0,001). Houve diferença significativa entre os escores pré- e pós tratamento nos grupos que relataram ter melhorado um pouco e ter melhorado muito (p<0,05). Para ambas as versões, o TE e MRP das médias de escore de mudança para escores totais e para os julgamentos de transição global foram moderados a grandes. O modelo multivariado mostrou associação entre a cárie dentária e a pior QVRSB na criança, de acordo com as crianças e pais, RTR (Razão de Taxa Robusta) (IC 95%) = 6.37 (4,71; 8.62) e 10.81 (7,65; 15.27), respectivamente. A média da diferença direcional para escore total de -1,35 (IC 95% -2,330; -0,372) foi significativamente diferente entre os relatos de pares pai-criança. O CCI para escores totais foi de 0,84 (IC 95% 0,798; 0,867) e 0,67 (IC 95% 0,445; 0,814) entre pares mãe-criança e pai-criança, respectivamente. A versão brasileira do SOHO-5 é confiável, válida e responsiva para crianças de 5 e 6 anos de idade no Brasil. A cárie dentária na criança, mas não as LDT, está associada à pior QVRSB da criança de 5 e 6 anos de idade. As mães avaliaram a QVRSB dos seus filhos de forma similar às crianças, enquanto que os pais a subestimaram. / The aims were: 1) translate and cross-cultural adapt the Scale of Oral Health Outcomes for 5-year-old children (SOHO-5) to the Brazilian Portuguese language; 2) to assess the psychometric properties (reliability, validity and responsiveness) of self- and parental proxy-reports of the SOHO-5; 3) to assess the impact of dental caries and trauma dental injuries (TDI) on childrens oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) according to both self- and parental reports; 4) to assess the agreement among parents and children regarding the childs OHRQoL. We tested the cross-cultural adaptation in two pilots with 40 children aged 5- 6-years and their parents. Validity and reliability were tested on 193 children and parents. Of the 193, 154 completed the SOHO-5 7-14 days after the childs dental treatment to assess responsiveness. For this purpose, they also answered global transition judgments on subjects perceptions of change in their oral health following treatment. Measures of responsiveness included standardized effect sizes (ES) and standardized response mean (SRM). To assess the impact, 335 pairs of parents and children completed the SOHO-5 and three calibrated examiners performed the childrens oral examinations. Agreement among reports was assessed in 298 mother-child and 37 father-child pairs. The internal consistency by Cronbach\'s alpha coefficient was 0.90 and 0.77 for the children self- and for parental proxy- reports, respectively. For test-retest reliability, Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) for total score was 0.92 of of the child version and 0.98 of the parental version. The SOHO-5 showed satisfactory construct and discriminant validity. For responsiveness, there was an improvement of childrens oral health after treatment (p<0.001). There were significant differences in the pre- and post-treatment scores of those who reported improving a little and those who reported improving a lot (p<0.05). For both versions, the ES and SRM based on change scores mean for total scores and for categories of global transitions judgments were moderate to large. The multivariate model showed an association between dental caries and a worse childs OHRQoL, according to children and parents perceptions, (RR (Rate Ratio) (CI95%) = 6.37 (4.71; 8.62) e 10.81 (7.65; 15.27)), respectively. The mean directional difference of the total scores of -1.35 (CI95% -2.330; -0.372) was only significant for the father-child pairs. The ICC for total scores was 0.84 (CI 95% 0.798; 0.867) and 0.67 (CI 95% 0.445; 0.814) among mother-child and father-child pairs, respectively. The Brazilian version of the SOHO-5 is reliable, valid and responsive for 5-6 years-old children in Brazil. Dental caries, but not TDI, is associated with worse OHRQoL in children aged 5-6-years. Mothers do rate their young childrens OHRQoL similarly to childrens self-reports, while fathers tend to underreport.

A presença de doenças e desordens bucais pode produzir um impacto na qualidade de vida de crianças pré-escolares e de seus pais, influenciando na saúde oral e bem-estar geral destas pessoas. Além disso, os fatores socioeconômicos podem confundir esta associação e, no entanto, isso ainda não tem sido testado nesta idade. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o impacto da Cárie Precoce na Infância (CPI), Traumatismos Dentários (TD) e Tipos de Maloclusão Anterior (TMA) na Qualidade de Vida Relacionada à Saúde Bucal (QVRSB) de crianças entre 2 e 5 anos de idade e de seus pais, ajustados por fatores socioeconômicos, bem como, avaliar a presença destas condições clínicas bucais em associação a estes mesmos fatores. Pais de 260 crianças responderam ao Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) (06 domínios) sobre suas percepções em relação à QVRSB de seus filhos e suas condições socioeconômicas. Dois examinadores calibrados (Kappa=0,8 para CPI; 0,9 para TD e 1,0 para TMA) avaliaram a gravidade da CPI através do índice ceo-d (WHO, 1997) e as crianças foram categorizadas em: 0=livres de cárie; 1-5 =baixa gravidade; 6=alta gravidade. Os TD foram avaliados de acordo com a Classificação de Andreasen e Andreasen (1994) e as maloclusões de acordo com a presença de dois TMA, mordida aberta anterior e sobresaliência maior que 4 mm. A QVRSB foi mensurada através dos escores por domínios e total do ECOHIS. A regressão de Poisson foi realizada para associação dos fatores com QVRSB. Crianças mais velhas tiveram risco significativamente maior de desenvolver CPI, enquanto que ser menina, possuir renda familiar mensal mais alta e ter mães mais velhas, e que trabalham fora do lar, foram fatores de proteção para CPI (p<0,05). Nenhuma das condições socioeconômicas foi estatisticamente associada aos TD e TMA (p>0,05). Nos 6 domínios e no escore total do ECOHIS, a gravidade da CPI apresentou impacto negativo na QVRSB (p<0,001). Os TD não mostraram impacto negativo na QVRSB no escore total do ECOHIS, mas foi encontrada associação significante no domínio de auto-imagem e interação social no que diz respeito às lesões nos tecidos periodontais e alterações de cor. Os TMA não mostraram impacto negativo na QVRSB (p>0,05). Quanto maior a idade da criança, maior a aglomeração na casa, menor renda familiar e se a mãe trabalha fora do lar, maior o impacto negativo na QVRSB (p<0,05). O modelo multivariado ajustado mostrou que a alta gravidade da CPI (RR=3,81; IC95%= 2,66 - 5,46; p<0,001) está associada ao maior impacto negativo na QVRSB, sendo a alta renda familiar um fator de proteção (RR=0,93; IC95% 0,87 - 0,99; p<0,001). A gravidade da CPI apresenta um impacto negativo na QVRSB de crianças pré-escolares e de seus pais, enquanto que os TD e TMA não apresentam. As famílias de alta renda familiar relataram uma melhor QVRSB independentemente da presença de doenças e desordens bucais. / The presence of oral diseases and disorders can produce an impact on quality of life of preschool children and their parents, affecting their oral health and well-being. However, socioeconomic factors could confound this association, but it has not been yet tested at this age. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of Early Childhood Caries (ECC), Traumatic Dental Injuries (TDI) and Anterior Malocclusions Traits (AMT) on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of children between 2 and 5 years of age and their parents adjusted by socioeconomic factors, and also to assess the presence of these oral clinical conditions in association to socioeconomic factors. Parents of 260 children answered the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) (6 domains) on their perception of the childrens OHRQoL and socioeconomic conditions. Two calibrated dentists (Kappa=0.8 for ECC; 0.9 for TDI and 1.0 for AMT) examined the severity of ECC according to dmf-t index (WHO, 1997) and children were categorize in: 0= caries free; 1-5= low severity; 6= high severity. TDI were examined according to Andreasen e Andreasen (1994) classification and malocclusions according to the presence of two AMT, anterior open bite and overjet greater than 4mm. OHRQoL was measured through ECOHIS domain and total scores and Poisson regression was used to associate the different factors to the outcome. Older children had significantly greater risk of developing caries, and girls were at less risk. A greater family income, older mothers, and if the mothers work away from home were also significantly protective factors for dental caries (p<0.05). None of the socioeconomic conditions were statistically associated to TDI or AMT (p>0.05). In each domain and overall ECOHIS scores, the severity of ECC showed a negative impact on OHRQoL (p<0.001). TDI did not show a negative impact on OHRQoL in the overall ECOHIS score, but significant association was found in the self-image/social interaction domain for injuries to the periodontal tissues and discoloration. AMT did not show a negative impact on OHRQoL nor in each domain (p>0.05). The increase in the childs age, higher household crowding, lower family income and mother working out of home were significantly associated with OHRQoL (p<0.05). The multivariate adjusted model showed that the high severity of ECC (RR=3.81; 95% CI= 2.66, 5.46; p<0.001) was associated to greater negative impact on OHRQoL, while high family income was a protective factor for OHRQoL (RR=0.93; 95% CI= 0.87, 0.99; p<0.001). The severity of ECC presents a negative impact on the OHRQoL of preschool children and their parents, whereas TDI and AMT do not. Families with higher income report better OHRQoL at this age, independent of presence of oral diseases and disorders.
