Abstract
Objectives: To determine the relationship between the need for orthodontic treatment and OHRQoL in children and adolescents, and to identify potential modifying factors of this relationship.
Methods: Systematic review, starting with searches of PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCO Discovery Service. Observational studies which examined the relationship between the need for orthodontic treatment and OHRQoL, in children and adolescents, were considered eligible.
Results: Eighteen studies were included, of which, one was a prospective cohort study and 17 were cross-sectional. Twelve of 18 studies reported a relationship between the need for orthodontic treatment and OHRQoL, while the remainder failed to demonstrate a clear relationship. Gender and self-esteem were found to modify this relationship.
Conclusions: Need for orthodontic treatment is associated with OHRQoL in children and adolescents. Gender and self-esteem are potential effect modifiers of this relationship.
期刊介绍:
The journal is concerned with dental public health and related subjects. Dental public health is the science and the art of preventing oral disease, promoting oral health, and improving the quality of life through the organised efforts of society.
The discipline covers a wide range and includes such topics as:
-oral epidemiology-
oral health services research-
preventive dentistry - especially in relation to communities-
oral health education and promotion-
clinical research - with particular emphasis on the care of special groups-
behavioural sciences related to dentistry-
decision theory-
quality of life-
risk analysis-
ethics and oral health economics-
quality assessment.
The journal publishes scientific articles on the relevant fields, review articles, discussion papers, news items, and editorials. It is of interest to dentists working in dental public health and to other professionals concerned with disease prevention, health service planning, and health promotion throughout the world. In the case of epidemiology of oral diseases the Journal prioritises national studies unless local studies have major methodological innovations or information of particular interest.
