Resumen:
Objective: To assess the impact of caries, Molar Incisor
Hypomineralization (MIH), and fluorosis on the Oral Health-Related
Quality of Life (OHRQoL) of schoolchildren aged 8-10 years living in
area with different fluoride levels in the drinking water.Subject and
Methods: The prevalence of caries and fluorosis were assessed among 663
Mexican schoolchildren using the International Caries Detection and
Assessment System (ICDAS II) and the Thylstrup and Fejerskov Index
(TFI), respectively. MIH was recorded using the European Academy of
Pediatric Dentistry (EAPD) criteria and OHRQoL using the Child
Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ8-10). Poisson regression models were used
in data analysis.Results: Schoolchildren presenting two of the three
conditions (cavitated lesions and TFI >= 4, cavitated lesions and MIH or
TFI >= 4 and MIH) experienced worse quality of life than children who
did not [RR=4.18; (95% CI 3.83, 4.56)]. Children with all three
conditions had worse quality of life than children who did not
[RR=5.64; (95% CI 5.13, 6.20)]. Conclusions: Fluorosis, MIH, and
caries have a negative impact on the OHRQoL of schoolchildren living in
area with a high concentration of fluoride in their drinking water.
