Impact of malocclusion severity on the quality of life of non-white adolescents
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of malocclusion severity on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of non-white adolescents. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 585 non-white Brazilian adolescents (12-15 years). The Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) was used for...

Summary: | Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of malocclusion severity on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of non-white adolescents. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 585 non-white Brazilian adolescents (12-15 years). The Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) was used for the clinical assessment of malocclusion and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) on OHRQoL. Deep bite and transverse occlusal relationships were assessed in association with the DAI. The adolescents with DAI 3 and 4 were distributed into 4 groups: G1 - individuals without transverse occlusal relationships or deep bite; G2 - individuals with only posterior crossbite; G3 - individuals with only deep bite; and G4 - individuals with Brodie bite. The backward stepwise procedure was used to select variables on each level, eliminating variables with a p≤0.20. From the logistic regression analyses, the adjusted odds ratios were estimated with the respective 95% confidence intervals. The adolescents with severe malocclusion divided into the G2, G3 and G4 showed p-value of 0.0501, 0.1475, and 0.5407, respectively, but did not remain in the final model. Malocclusion severity had no impact on the OHRQoL of non-white adolescents.
Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o impacto da severidade da má oclusão na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal (OHRQoL) de adolescentes não brancos. Estudo transversal foi realizado com 585 adolescentes brasileiros não brancos (12-15 anos). O Índice de Estética Dental (DAI) foi utilizado para a avaliação clínica da má oclusão e o Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) na OHRQoL. A sobremordida profunda e as relações oclusais transversais foram avaliadas em associação com o DAI. Os adolescentes com DAI 3 e 4 foram divididos em 4 grupos: G1 - indivíduos com relação transversal normal ou com ausência de sobremordida; G2 - indivíduos com mordida cruzada posterior; G3 - indivíduos com sobremordida profunda; e, G4 - indivíduos com mordida em Brodie. O modelo final estimou as variáveis selecionadas após o ajuste para aquelas que permaneceram no modelo multivariado em níveis iguais e superiores. A partir das análises de regressão logística, os odds ratios foram ajustados e estimados com os respectivos intervalos de confiança de 95%. Os adolescentes com má oclusão severa divididos em G2, G3 e G4 mostraram um p-valor de 0.0501, 0.1475, e 0.5407, respectivamente, mas não permaneceram no modelo final. A severidade da má oclusão não teve impacto |
