ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: The purpose of the present study was to assess the prevalence of normative and perceived orthodontic treatment need in schoolchildren and adolescents, related risk factors, and children/parent's aesthetic perception, compared to orthodontist's opinion, in Dhaka city, Bangladesh. Methods: A random sample of 800 schoolchildren aging 11-15 years was selected from different schools in the city of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The Dental Health Component (DHC) and Aesthetic Component (AC) of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) were assessed as normative treatment need. The Decayed, Missing, Filled Teeth (DMFT) index was used to record caries experience. Children were interviewed on the perception of orthodontic treatment need. Parents also completed a questionnaire on the perception of their child's orthodontic treatment need, assessed by AC/ IOTN. Results: According to the DHC/IOTN, only 24.7% were in the category of definite need (grade 4-5) for orthodontic treatment. A significant difference was found between the clinician/children and clinician/parents perceived AC score of IOTN (p= 0.0001). Multiple logistic regression showed children with a higher DMFT were significantly more likely to need orthodontic treatment, according to the DHC of IOTN. Conclusion: A low proportion of schoolchildren needs normative orthodontic treatment in the city of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Children with a higher DMFT score were significantly more likely to need orthodontic treatment, according to the DHC of IOTN.


RESUMO Objetivo: o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a prevalência de necessidade real e percebida de tratamento ortodôntico em crianças e adolescentes em idade escolar, bem como de fatores de risco relacionados, e comparar a percepção estética das crianças e responsáveis com a percepção de ortodontistas na cidade de Dhaka, Bangladesh. Métodos: uma amostra aleatória composta por 800 crianças, com idades entre 11 e 15 anos, foi selecionada em diferentes escolas da cidade de Dhaka, Bangladesh. Para avaliação da necessidade real de tratamento, utilizou-se o Dental Health Component (DHC) e o Aesthetic Component (AC) do Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). O índice de Dentes Cariados, Perdidos e Obturados (CPO-D) foi usado para registrar a prevalência de cáries dentárias. As crianças foram entrevistadas sobre sua percepção da necessidade de tratamento ortodôntico, e os pais também responderam a um questionário sobre a percepção da necessidade de tratamento ortodôntico de seus filhos, avaliada pelo AC do IOTN. Resultados: de acordo com o DHC, apenas 24,7% das crianças foram alocadas na categoria de necessidade real (notas 4-5) de tratamento ortodôntico. As pontuações no AC foram significativamente diferentes entre os ortodontistas, as crianças e os responsáveis (p= 0,0001). A análise da regressão múltipla mostrou que as crianças com maiores pontuações no CPO-D tinham chance significativamente maior de precisar de tratamento ortodôntico, segundo o DHC. Conclusão: um número reduzido de crianças em idade escolar necessita realmente de tratamento ortodôntico em Dakha, Bangladesh. Além disso, as crianças com maior CPO-D apresentaram chance significativamente maior de precisar de tratamento ortodôntico, segundo o DHC.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: This prospective cross-sectional study was undertaken to determine the normative and perceived orthodontic treatment needs of children aged 11-12 years in a Caribbean country, Trinidad and Tobago. METHODS: One author, an experienced orthodontist, examined 367 children using the Dental Health Component (DHC) of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) to assess the normative need. The same orthodontist administered the questionnaire to assess the patient's perceived needs using the Aesthetic Component (AC) of the IOTN and the Oral Aesthetic Subjective Impact Scale (OASIS). RESULTS: The DHC and the AC of the IOTN and the OASIS showed respectively that 61.4%, 2.5% and 0.6% of the children had definite need for orthodontic treatment. The female proportion of the sample was more than the target population but the perceived need and normative need for orthodontic treatment did not depend significantly (p < 0.05) on the gender or ethnicity of the subjects of this study. The perception of need for orthodontic treatment differed inversely from the normative need and this is seen to be significant (p < 0.05) when OASIS was used. CONCLUSIONS: Approximately three out of five children in Trinidad and Tobago have a great (or very great) need for orthodontic treatment for dental health reasons.


OBJETIVO: Este estudio prospectivo transversal fue emprendido con el objeto de determinar las necesidades del tratamiento ortodóntico normativo y percibido para niños de 11-12 años de edad en un país caribeño - Trinidad y Tobago. MÉTODOS: Un autor - ortodoncista experimentado - examinó a 367 niños usando el Componente de Salud Dental (DHC) del Índice de Necesidad del Tratamiento Ortodóntico (IOTN) para evaluar la necesidad normativa. El mismo ortodoncista aplicó la encuesta para evaluar las necesidades percibidas del paciente usando el Componente Estético (CA) del IOTN y Escala ortodóntica de impacto estético subjetivo (OASIS). RESULTADOS: El DHCy el CA del IOTNy el OASIS mostraron respectivamente que 61.4%, 2.5% y .6% de los ninos tenían una necesidad definida de tratamiento ortodóntico. La proporción de hembras de la muestra fue mayor que la población objetivo, pero la necesidad percibida y la necesidad normativa de tratamiento ortodóntico no dependia significativamente (p < 0.05) del género o etnicidad de los sujetos de este estudio. La percepción de la necesidad de tratamiento ortodóntico difería inversamente de la necesidad normativa y puede verse que es significativa (p < 0.05) cuando el OASIS fue usado. CONCLUSIONES: Aproximadamente tres de cada cinco ninos en Trinidad y Tobago tienen una necesidad grande (o muy grande) de tratamiento ortodóntico por razones de salud dental.
