| dc.description.abstract | Oral Function, Orofacial Pain, Orofacial Appearance, and Psychosocial Impact are the four oral healthrelated quality of life (OHRQoL) dimensions (4D) or areas in which oral disorders impact pediatric patients. Using their
dentists’ assessment, the study aimed to evaluate whether pediatric dental patients’ oral health concerns ft into the
4D of the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) construct.Dentists who treat children from 32 countries and all WHO regions were selected from a web-based
survey of 1580 international dentists. Dentists were asked if their pediatric patients with current or future oral health
concerns ft into the 4D of the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) construct. Proportions of all pediatric
patients’ oral health problems and prevention needs were computed. | en_US |
