Aim:
To assess the impact of severe malocclusion on adolescents' oral health- related quality of life (OHRQoL).Methods:
This study consisted of a sample of 117 adolescents between 11 and 12 years, who answered the Brazilian version of the short form of the Child Perception Questionnaire (CPQ 11-14 ). This questionnaire has 16 items distributed equally across four domains oral symptoms (OS), functional limitations (FL), emotional well-being (EW) and social well-being (SW). Higher scores indicate a greater negative impact on OHRQoL. Malocclusion was evaluated using the Dental Aesthetic Index. Adolescents were assigned to the following categories no or slight malocclusion, defined malocclusion and severe malocclusion. Descriptive analysis, the Kruskal Wallis test, post hoc test, univariate and multivariate logistic regression were conducted.Results:
Individuals with severe malocclusion presented significantly higher scores than those with no or slight malocclusion for the EW ( p =0.001), SW ( p =0.027) and for the overall CPQ 11-14 score ( p =0.015). Adolescents with severe malocclusion showed a 2.63 greater chance of presenting a high negative impact on OHRQoL than those with no or slight malocclusion regardless of the confounding variables (CI=1.076.45, p =0.035).Conclusion:
Severe malocclusion negatively impacts adolescents' OHRQoL.
