Abstract:
Objective To investigate the factors influencing positive and negative affects ot orthodontic patients.Methods 145 orthodontic patients were selected and finished questionnaire survey.The questionnaires included demographic data,psychosocial impact of dental aesthetic questionnaire (PIDAQ),aesthetic content of index of orthodontic treatment need (IOTN-AC),perception of occlusion scale (POS),and positive affect and negative affect scale (PANAS).Mann-Whitney U-test,Kruskal-Walis H-test,and Spearman correlation analysis were used to analyze the relation between impact of dental aesthetics and positive and negative affects in orthodontic patients.Results The scores of adolescent patients were higher than adult patients in negative affect (U =1886.500,P＜0.05).The patients under orthodontic treatment scored higher than those before treatment (U=2228.000,P＜0.05).The subdomains of PIDAQ,such as social impact (x2=ll.794,P＜0.05),aesthetic attitude (x2 =45.853,P＜0.05),and dental confidence (x2 =33.551,P＜0.05) were related with negative affect.The scores of IOTN-AC,PIDAQ,POS demonstrated positive correlation with negative affect (P＜0.05).The scores of social impact showed negative correlation with positive affect (P＜0.05).Conclusions Adult orthodontic patients suffer more negative affect than adolescent patients.Orthodontic treatment could promote patients' positive affect.However,the negative psychosocial impact in dental aesthetics would strengthen the negative affect.
