A Brief Note on of Dental Fluorosis Effect on Oral Health

Shyam Kumar

This study examines the impact of dental fluorosis on the quality of life (OHRQoL) of schoolchildren aged 11 to 14 in India's fluorine-endemic districts of Haryana. Methods and materials: A cross-sectional study included 2,200 schoolchildren from fluoride-endemic areas in Haryana [1]. Using cluster random sampling, children between the ages of 11 and 14 were tested in three of the 14 regions where fluoride is endemic. A child perception questionnaire (CPQ11-14) (Hindi version) was used to evaluate the impact of dental fluorosis on OHRQoL. The Thylstrup- Fejerskov index (TFI) was utilized in the evaluation of dental fluorosis. After the data were analyzed with SPSS version 18, non-parametric tests were used to determine the significance. Regression analysis was used to look at how a change in CPQ affected things. Gentle to direct dental fluorosis was found in the review's members, who made up 45.3% of men and 54.7% of ladies, with mean TFI scores of 3.19 and 1.55, separately [2]. The percentage of children who rated their oral health as excellent or good was 1.17 times higher among those who did not have dental fluorosis (P 0.05). The mean CPQ11-14 domain and overall scores of study participants with dental fluorosis were not significantly higher than those of participants without the condition. Minor dental fluorosis did not have any negative effects on OHRQoL for children living in the fluoride-endemic districts of Haryana, India.
