Research Abstract

To investigate the effects of dental intervention on self-esteem, oral condition, and concern for oral health among abused children admitted to the children's center. We examined 65 (34 boys, 31 girls ; age range, 2-15 years) children's oral condition and instructed tooth-brushing. Self-esteem was examined using Pope's five-scale test of self-esteem for children. Before discharge, the children completed questionnaires about their concern for their oral health.
The reasons for admission were child abuse and neglect in 45 children, domestic violence against the mother in 20, nursing in 11, delinquency in 7, truancy in 2, and other reasons in 3. Mean self-esteem score was 59.16±14.54 in residents (n=43 ; age range, 7-15 years) and 73.92±16.81 in the outpatient control group (n=102), which was a statistically significant difference (p<0.01). Thirty-five of the 65 residents (54%) needed treatment for caries. Of these 35 residents, 24 (69%) were abused children and 11 (31%) were admitted due to other reasons. Although the abused children had low self-esteem, after dental intervention, positive answers regarding oral health were obtained. The present findings suggest that dental interventions might be effective for improving the self-esteem of abused children.
