Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between the psychosocial effect of malocclusion and objective orthodontic treatment need in Turkish adolescents and young adults.

Materials and Methods: The study sample consisted of 152 adolescents (mean age; 14.91), and 48 young adults (mean age; 21.83). Participants were asked to answer the “Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ)”. Objective treatment need was evaluated by an experienced clinician, using the Aesthetic Component (AC) of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment need. (IOTN). 

Results: Statistical analyzes revealed no significant difference between adolescents and young adults either in PIDAQ and AC scores. There was also no significant gender differences in PIDAQ and AC scores either in adolescents and young adults. A positive correlation was found between the PIDAQ score and the AC value just in adolescent females (r= 0.263, p=0.012).

Conclusion: Malocclusion has similar degree of psychosocial impacts in adolescents and young adults. Female adolescents appear more aware of their dental appearance and feel higher psychosocial impacts than adolescent males.

Maloklüzyonun psikososyal etkisi ile objektif ortodontik tedavi ihtiyacı arasındaki ilişki

Abstract

Amaç:  Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türk adolesanlarda ve genç erişkinlerde maloklüzyonun psikososyal etkisi ile objektif ortodontik tedavi ihtiyacı arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmektir.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma örnekleminde 152 adolesan (yaş ortalaması 14.91) ve 48 genç yetişkin (yaş ortalaması 21.83) vardı. Katılımcılardan “Diş Estetiğinin Psikososyal Etkileri Anketi (PIDAQ)'' yanıtlamaları istendi. Objektif tedavi ihtiyacı, deneyimli bir klinisyen tarafından, ortodontik tedavi ihtiyacı indeksinin (IOTN) estetik bileşeni (AC) kullanılarak değerlendirildi. 

Bulgular: İstatistiksel analizler, adolesanlar ile genç yetişkinler arasında PIDAQ ve AC skorlarında anlamlı bir fark olmadığını ortaya koydu. Adolesanlarda  ve genç erişkinlerde  PIDAQ ve AC skorlarında anlamlı bir cinsiyet farklılığı yoktu. Sadece adolesan kadınlarda PIDAQ skoru ile AC değeri arasında pozitif bir ilişki bulundu (r= 0.263, p=0.012).

Sonuç: Maloklüzyonun adolesanlar ve genç erişkinlerde benzer derecede psikososyal etkileri vardır. Kadın adolesanlar, diş görünümlerinin daha fazla farkında görünmektedirler ve adolesan erkeklerden daha yüksek psikososyal etkiler hissetmektedirler.
