Abstract

Purpose of this study was to verify the prevalence of MHI, the severity and the impact on the quality of life, in children from 8 to 10 years of age. Materials and methods: A total of 864 children of both genders, in the city of Vila Velha, ES, were evaluated. The clinical assessment followed the diagnostic criteria of the EAPD. As exclusion criterion of the research were children with cognitive deficits, neuropsychomotor and carriers orthodontic appliances. The mild or severe conditions were determined by assessing the need for treatment (WHO) and involvement of permanent molars and incisors. To evaluate the impact on quality of life, the Child Perception Questionnaire was applied, composed of 29 questions elaborated to observe the child’s perception regarding oral symptoms, functional limitations, well-being Emotional and social. For statistical analysis, Chi, Square, Fischer and Poisson tests were used. Results: A frequency of 183 children (21%) with MHI was found, with 125 (68.3%) with the severe type requiring treatment. In the application of CPQ, the sensitivity and pain in affected teeth presented a higher score, and when this instrument was associated with the presence or absence of MHI, the affected individuals also had a greater impact in this domain (P = 0.04). Conclusions: The MHI affects the studied population in severe condition, requiring preventive and restorative dental care, and can negatively impact the quality of life of the students in relation to their oral health, as far as oral symptoms are concerned.
