Abstract
Abstract
Background
Oral diseases can affect children’s quality of life. The aim of the present study was to assess the Condition-Specific (CS) impacts from oral diseases in 12- and 15-year-old Thai population using data from the two consecutive national oral health-related quality of life surveys.
Methods
The oral health–related quality of life surveys were conducted for this study as a part of 6th and 7th national oral health survey. The study sample of 1,066 12- and 815 15-year-olds from 6th national oral health survey; and 556 12- and 351 15-year-olds from 7th national oral health survey were from Bangkok and four regions of Thailand. Oral impacts were assessed by the Child-Oral Impacts on Daily Performances index for 12- and Oral Impacts on Daily Performances index for 15-year-olds. The overall impacts and CS impacts attributed to oral diseases were calculated. The detailed characteristics of the CS impacts were analyzed. Cochran’s Q test and McNemar’s test were used to determine the difference between the proportions of CS impacts of caries, gingival diseases, oral lesions, and malocclusion.
Results
CS impacts-caries were prevalent for both age, followed by gingival disease and oral lesions. CS impacts-caries were the highest in the intensity and extent for both age groups. CS impacts-caries were significantly higher than those of gingival diseases for eating, speaking, relaxing, emotional state, and studying. CS impacts-gingival disease was significantly higher than caries for cleaning in one survey.
Conclusions
CS impacts-caries were the most prevalent and severe among adolescent. Gingival disease was infrequently related to severe impacts on daily performances.
