Le but de cette étude était de rechercher des corrélations entre la satisfaction de l’apparence dentaire et les attentes du traitement orthodontique. Le sexe et de l’âge sur ces variables étaient aussi explorés. Une population de 466 parents comprenant 238 hommes (51.1%) et 228 femmes (48, 9%) était choisie au hasard et inclue dans cette étude dans la ville d’Ibadan au Nigeria. Leur age variaient de 18 à 73 ans avec une moyenne de 36.89 ± 12.27 (SD). Ils ont répondu aux questions sur la satisfaction ou autres avec l’apparence dentaire et indiquaient leurs attentes du traitement orthodontique.
Une analyse de régression multiple était utilisée pour estimer l’effet de la satisfaction dentaire sur l’attente du traitement orthodontique aussi bien que l’influence de l’âge et du sexe sur ces attentes orthodontiques. Une corrélation non significative était trouvée entre la satisfaction de l’apparence dentaire et l’attente du traitement orthodontique des parents. Ces corrélations étaient invariables quel que soit le genre mais pas quel que soit l’âge.
Il était conclu que la satisfaction de l‘apparence dentaire n’est pas un facteur significatif dans l’attente des parents par rapport au traitement orthodontique parmi la population étudiée mais le devient selon l’âge.
The aim of this study was to investigate correlations between satisfaction with dental appearance and expectation of orthodontic treatment. The effects of sex and age on these variables were also explored. A sample of 466 parents comprising 238 (51.1%) males and 228 females (48.9%) were randomly surveyed in Ibadan Nigeria. Their ages ranged from 18 to 73 with mean age of 36.89 ±12.27 (SD). They were asked whether they were satisfied or otherwise with their dental appearance and to indicate their expectation of orthodontic treatment.
A multiple regression analysis was used to estimate the effect of the dental satisfaction on expectation of orthodontic treatment as well as the influence of age and sex on orthodontic expectations. Significant correlation was not found between satisfaction between dental appearance and parents’ expectations. These correlations were invariant over gender, but not over age. It was concluded that satisfaction with dental appearance is not a significant predictor of parents’ expectations of orthodontic treatment among the study sample but age was.
