| Abstract | ||||
| Objective: Assessment of anterior crossbite correction on the quality of life of children between 8-10 years using the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ8-10). Methods: Seventy children, 8-10 years, seeking treatment for anterior dental crossbite, were selected for this clinical study. The impact of early interceptive orthodontic treatment of anterior dental crossbite on the children’s oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) was evaluated using the Brazilian version of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ8-10), in two different points in time: T0: Before treatment of anterior dental crossbite and T1: After correction of anterior crossbite. Results: The overall score of the CPQ8-10 and the scores of each health domain (subscale) of the children of both sexes decreased significantly after final treatment (p<0.001). For the overall score and all heath domains (subscales) except emotional wellbeing subscale, there was no significant difference between the scores of both genders (p>0.05). At the first appointment, females had a significantly higher score of emotional wellbeing than males (p<0.001). Conclusion: Early interceptive orthodontic treatment of children with anterior dental crossbite is essential to improve their OHRQoL. | ||||
