Interventions engaging community health workers (CHW) for diabetes management aim to improve diabetes care and self-management behaviors among patients. We evaluated the effects of nonsurgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) with the CHW strategy on oral self-care behaviors, periodontal status and oral health-related quality of life (OHQoL) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The participants were randomly assigned to experimental (EG; n = 35) and control (CG; n = 33) groups. All participants received NSPT, whereas the patients in the EG also received one-on-one 30 min lessons from a CHW over 4 weeks. The EG exhibited greater improvement in the probing pocket depth (β = −0.2, effect size [ES] = 0.61) and clinical attachment level (β = −0.2, ES = 0.59) at 1-month follow-up than the CG did. The ES increased over the 1-, 3- and 6-month follow-ups, indicating an increase in OHQoL (ES = 0.19, 0.60, and 0.62, respectively) in the EG. The patients in the EG were more likely to change their oral self-care behaviors than patients in the CG were. The NSPT with CHW strategy had a positive effect on 1-month periodontal treatment outcomes, long-term OHQoL and oral self-care behaviors in patients with T2DM.

Clinical Measurements

While periodontitis deteriorates patients’ quality of life, non-surgical periodontal treatment seems to offer an improvement. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the impact of non-surgical and surgical periodontal treatment on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) utilizing patient-centered assessments and surrogate clinical measurements in Greek adults. Eighty-three individuals with chronic periodontitis were enrolled in the study. Assessment of OHRQoL with the use of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire in conjunction with clinical measurements of pocket probing depth (PPD), plaque index (PI) and bleeding on probing (BOP) were performed at baseline (t0), after non-surgical therapy (t1) and after periodontal surgery (t2). A statistically significant reduction of OHIP-14 score was recorded at t1 and t2 examination compared to baseline (p < 0.001) and a statistically significant improvement in all clinical parameter at all time points was recorded (p < 0.05). No correlation between the clinical parameters and the total score of OHIP-14 was recorded at any time point. Non-surgical periodontal treatment seemed to improve OHRQoL in terms of OHIP-14 scores, whilst supplementary surgical periodontal therapy did not offer any additional benefit. No correlation was found between patients’ perception of quality of life expressed by OHIP-14 score and the surrogate clinical parameters.

Abstract Background: Our aim was to assess the impact of non-surgical periodontal treatment on oral health-related quality of life of patients with periodontitis, performed by undergraduate dental students. Methods: An observational prospective one cohort study pre‑post test was performed, involving 31 undergraduate dental students. A complete periodontal examination was performed before and after receiving non-surgical periodontal treatment. The main independent clinical variables assessed were the grade of periodontal inflammation and the number of teeth with periodontitis. Oral health-related quality of life was assessed before and after treatment through the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP) questionnaire. The association between the extension of periodontal treatment (measured as number of treated teeth) and final OIDP score was assessed, adjusting for age, sex and baseline OIDP, in a multiple linear regression model. Results: 34 patients were enrolled and treated by the undergraduate students. The global absolute score, the mean OIDP value, was reduced from 26.2 to 12. The global percent score, percentage of impact, was reduced from 13 to 6. Non-surgical periodontal treatment showed an improvement in oral health-related quality of life. However, no association between the number of treated teeth and none of the aspects measured by ODIP was observed post-treatment, adjusting for age, sex and baseline OIDP. Conclusion: Non-surgical periodontal treatment performed by undergraduate dental students on periodontal patients, did not show any impact on oral health-related quality of life, measured by OIDP.
