Resumo

Sample of adults and elderly people in Finland. Results of this survey demonstrated that those who have increased overjet showed a statistically higher level of total OHIP-14 score, meaning poorer OHRQoL (adjusted rate ratio 5 1.09; confidence interval [CI] 5 1.01-1.16; P # .05). There was no statistically significant difference in total OHIP-14 scores, after adjustment for covariates, for crossbite/scissor bite, and also for increased overbite/open bite Different malocclusion traits are associated with different domains of OHIP-14. Increased overjet is associated with poorer physical disability of the OHIP-14 (adjusted rate ratio 5 1.56; CI 5 1.11-2.19; P # .05). Increased overbite/open bite showed significantly poorer psychological disability (adjusted rate ratio 5 1.26; CI 5 1.01-1.59; P #.05). Crossbite/scissor bite was associated only with the social disability domain. The presence of crossbite/scissor bite improves the social disability domain of OHIP-14 (adjusted rate ratio 5 0.75; ; CI 5 0.60-0.95; P #.05). The authors concluded that Finnish adults (over 30 years old) with increased overjet had significantly poorer OHRQoL than people with normal overjet.
