Sažetak
Various questionnaires are used to assess patients' perception of their appearance, emotions and daily functioning. The aim of this paper is to present the parental assessment of the child's general oral health and well-being before tooth restoration under general anesthesia and 1 month after the restoration. The respondents are the parents of a patient who underwent general anesthesia in the period from April 2021 to April 2022. This included 51 patients aged 3 to 15 years. The parent responded to two items. The first item is: How would you rate the health of your child's teeth, lips, jaws and mouth, and the respondent chooses: excellent, very good, good, average, bad. The second item is: How much does the condition of the teeth, lips, jaws or mouth affect the general well-being of your child? The respondent chooses: it does not affect at all, it affects a little, it affects a lot, it affects a lot. The mean value of the answer to the question about the evaluation of the child's oral health before tooth restoration is 3.08±0.98, and the answer 1 month after the restoration is 1.84±0.99. P value is <0.0001. The mean value of the answer to the question about the impact of oral health on well- being before tooth restoration is 1.45±0.86, and one month after restoration is 1.24±1.03. P value is 0.1749. The research shows a statistically significant difference in parental perception of oral health before and one month after rehabilitation. Parental perception of the impact of oral health on the child's well-being before and 1 month after dental restoration under general anesthesia did not show statistical significance.
