Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled CHANGES IN CHILDREN'S ORAL HEALTH RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE FOLLOWING ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT Submitted by ZHANG MAN For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in September 2007 Malocclusion is a common oral disorder and the demand for orthodontic care is increasing among children. There is a dearth of information as to how malocclusion and its treatment impacts on the life quality of children, which has obvious implications in assessing orthodontic treatment need and evaluating outcomes from orthodontic care. This prospective longitudinal study was conducted to identify associations between orthodontic treatment need and child oral health-related quality of life (COHQoL); to determine the level of agreement between parents' and children's perceptions of COHQoL; to determine changes in COHQoL as a result of undergoing fixed orthodontic appliance therapy and to determine changes in COHQoL following orthodontic treatment. Children (aged 11-14) seeking orthodontic treatment were recruited in this study and followed-up over a three year period. Children's parents were also recruited at baseline. Children self-completed the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ) at baseline (pre-treatment status and expectations of treatment), during orthodontic treatment (at one week, one month, three months, six months, twelve months, and eighteen months after insertion of fixed appliance), and 6-months post-treatment. Their parents completed the Parental Perception Questionnaire (PPQ) and Family Impact scale (FIS) prior to treatment. Children's pretreatment occlusal models were assessed by three commonly used occlusal indices: Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) including Aesthetic Components (AC) and Dental Health Components (DHC), Index of Complexity, Outcome and Need (ICON) and the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI). Improvements in occlusion following orthodontic treatment was determined by assessing differences in ICON scores obtained from pre- and post- treatment orthodontic casts. CPQ scores and AC scores were significant correlated (r=0.27, p0.05). FIS scores were significantly correlated with scores of ICON (r= 0.26, pDuring orthodontic treatment significant changes in CPQ scores occurred (pThere was significant reduction in CPQ scores 6-months following orthodontic treatment compared to pre-treatment (p0.05). Perceived improvement in oral health was associated with improvement in COHQoL (reduction in CPQ scores) a
