Resumo(s)
Objectives to verify the contribution of mothers’ oral health impact profile to their children’s oral health profile and
the contribution of mothers’ well-being and the caries index (dmft) to children’s well-being.
Methods This is a cross-sectional observational study. Mothers and pre-school children enrolled in public schools in
the municipality of Araraquara-SP took part. The Oral Health Impact Profile Questionnaire (OHIP-14), Satisfaction with
Life Scale (SWLS), Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) and the Autoquestionnaire Qualité de Vie Enfant
Imagé (AUQEI) were used. To diagnose caries, a clinical examination was carried out to calculate the dmft index. Path
analysis was carried out and the path coefficients were estimated (β) and evaluated using the z-test (α=5%).
Results 443 children took part (5.19±0.64 years; 52.4% boys) with an mean dmft of 1.31±2.19. The mean age of
the mothers was 33.4±7.01 years. There was a significant impact of dmft and maternal well-being on the child’s
subjective well-being (s2
explained=43%). The mothers’ oral health impact profile and the child’s caries experience
had a significant influence on both the child (OHIP: β=0.22; p<0.001; dmft: β=0.48; p<0.001) and the family (OHIP:
β=0.29; p<0.001; dmft: β=0.32; p<0.001). The child’s dmft (β=-0.10; p=0.005) and the mothers’ subjective well-being
(β=-0.61; p<0.001) had a significant impact on the child’s subjective well-being.
Conclusion The mothers’ oral health impact profile and the child’s caries experience had an impact on both the
child and the family. Mothers’ subjective well-being and caries experience should be considered when assessing the
subjective well-being of Brazilian preschool children
