TITLE: Does attitudes of parents towards oral health influence caries prevalence and its consequences among 6-7 years old children?
Objectives: To evaluate the impact of parents’ attitude on oral health of 6-7 year old children in Tehran using PUFA/pufa index.
Methods: Of the 19 educational districts, 8 districts were selected randomly and in each district one boys’ school and one girls’ school were selected randomly in 2016 in Tehran city. After ethical clearance, a self-administered questionnaire was administered to parents to collect demographic and oral health related data. Children were examined using disposable mirror and probe by two calibrated examiners (kappa=0.7).
Caries status and its consequences was recorded using PUFA/pufa index using disposable mirror and probe in day light. Oral hygiene status was recoded according to OHI_Simplified index. Data was analyzed using SPSS software ver 20.0.
Results: Of 430 children were examined, 31% had 1 or more teeth with pulp involvement, abscess, ulceration or fistula ranged from 0 to 8 teeth.
In the linear regression analysis considering parents’ attitude towards oral health, demographic and oral health related variables there was significant association between number of teeth with pulp involvement, abscess and fistula and child brushing habit (B= -0.338, p<0.05), and debris index (OHI-S) (B=0.816, p<0.05).
Conclusions: Regardless of attitude of parents, brushing habit of children and their oral hygiene status were associated with the number of infected teeth in deciduous dentition.
