Oral healthcare-related knowledge and bad behaviors in school-age children with orthodontics:a hospital-based cross-sectional survey

目的调查口腔正畸患儿口腔保健知识水平及不良行为习惯,为采取针对性干预措施提供科学依据。方法选取2015年6月—2017年6月于青岛市第八人民医院口腔科准备进行口腔正畸治疗的362例患儿为研究对象并发放调查问卷,了解患儿口腔保健知识知晓率、不良行为习惯及知识获取途径。结果 362例患儿患龋率为59.24%,龋均值为(1.83±0.22),患牙龈炎率为37.29%;患儿对乳牙、恒牙颗数知晓率最低(29.56%),需定期口腔检查知晓率最高(76.80%);城市患儿各项口腔保健知识知晓率明显高于农村患儿,女性患儿各项口腔保健知识知晓率明显高于男性患儿(P <0.05);患儿口腔保健知识知晓率随着年龄增长呈上升趋势;多数患儿存在不良行为习惯;患儿口腔保健知识获取途径中从家长教育获得比例最高(54.14%),从医务人员获得比例最低(19.61%)。结论正畸患儿口腔保健知识较为薄弱,尤其是农村患儿、男性患儿及低龄患儿,多存在不良行为习惯,应积极加强口腔保健教育,形成良好行为习惯,降低口腔疾病发病率。

Objective To investigate oral healthcare related knowledge and bad behaviors in children with orthodontic diseases and to provide evidences for developing targeted interventions.Methods With convenient sampling and a selfdesigned questionnaire,we conducted an on-site self-administered anonymous survey among 6-12 years old children(n=362)undergoing orthodontic treatment in Department of Stomatology of the Eighth People′s Hospital of Qingdao in Qingdao city of Shandong province from June 2015 to June 2017.Results Among all the participants,the caries rate was 59.24%;the average caries number was 1.83±0.22 and the gingivitis rate was 37.29%;the lowest awareness rate(29.56%)was for the number of deciduous and permanent teeth and the highest(76.80%)was for periodic oral examination.The awareness rate of oral health knowledge was significantly higher in urban participants and in girls than in the rural participants and in the boys(both P<0.05).The awareness rate of oral health knowledge increased with the increment of age.Bad oral health-related behaviors were reported by a majority of the participants.More than one half(54.14%)of the participants reported acquiring oral health knowledge from their parents but less than one fifth(19.61%)of the participants reported receiving the knowledge from medical personnel.Conclusion The awareness rate of oral health knowledge is relatively low among school-age children undergoing orthodontic treatment,especially in the rural,the male and young children and bad oral health related behaviors are prevalent among the children,suggesting that education on oral health should be promoted in the children.
