ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of orofacial dysfunction on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among Brazilian schoolchildren. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
A population-based study was conducted with 531 children aged eight to 10 years at schools in the city of Campo Magro, Brazil. The Brazilian version of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ8-10) was the outcome variable used to measure the impact on OHRQoL. The main independent variable was orofacial function, which was diagnosed using the Nordic Orofacial Test-Screening (NOT-S). Descriptive, bivariate and multiple Poisson regression analyses were performed using a multilevel approach, with the significance level set to 5%.RESULTS:
The mean (±SD) total CPQ8-10 score was 13.95 ± 0.5. The multilevel Poisson regression model revealed that the mean CPQ8-10 score was higher among girls (RR 1.38, 95% CI 1.17-1.63; p < 0.001) than boys and that children from families with a higher income had lower CPQ8-10 scores (RR 0.67, 95% CI 0.51-0.88; p = 0.004) than those from families with a lower income. Children who sought dental care due to pain or factors other than prevention (RR 1.41; 95% CI 1.18-1.68), those with orofacial dysfunction (RR 1.62; 95% CI 1.30-2.02) and those with a history of traumatic dental injury (RR 1.39; 95% CI 1.15-1.69) also experienced a greater impact on OHRQoL.CONCLUSIONS:
Schoolchildren with orofacial dysfunction experience a greater negative impact on OHRQoL.Palabras clave
