Abstract

Introduction: TDI and occlusion status have physical, psychological and social effects on children and because of the close relationship between children and their families, the effects of oral and dental diseases in children are reflected in the family. Hence, the present study was carried out to evaluate the effects of TDI and occlusion status on quality of life of children and families.
Materials & Methods: This descriptive analytical study was performed on 296 students in Educational Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of Isfahan. The parents filled up the Family Impact Scale and Child Perception Questionnaire; in addition, in injured children WHO assessment form for TDI and occlusion status was completed by the researcher. Data collected from two questionnaires and TDI and occlusion status were analyzed with SPSS 20. Descriptive and analytical statistical indexes such as means, standard deviations, percentages, variances and relationships between quantitative and qualitative variables were analyzed with chi-squared, Mann-Whitney and LSD tests, t-test and one-way ANOVA (α = 0.05).
Results: Most of the injured children (79.8%) had a moderate quality of life, but most of non-injured children had good quality of life (82.4%). There was a significant difference in the quality of life of the injured (59.7 ± 9.7) and non-injured (81.6 ± 15.2) groups. In addition, there was a significant difference in FIS index between the injured and non-injured groups (p value < 0.001). There was an inverse relationship between TDI and quality of life (p value = 0.02). There was a significant relationship between TDI and occlusion status (p value = 0.01), and there was no significant relationship between the quality of life of child and occlusion status (p value = 0.39).
Conclusion: The results showed that TDI affects quality of life of child and family, while occlusion does not have any effect on them.
