It has been suggested that oral mucosa diseases related to stress have a negative impact on the quality of life. However, the information regarding which aspects are the most affected is inconclusive. The objective was to compare the quality of life associated with oral health in two groups: Cases formed by 21 patients coming from a teaching clinic, suffering oral lichen planus, recurrent aphthous stomatitis, and burning mouth syndrome; Control formed by 42 healthy subjects matched for age and gender. Oral Health Impact Profile questionnaire was applied. Statistical analysis showed that group Cases has worse quality of life (p 0.03) than the one of controls, specifically on psychological discomfort (p 0.027), physical disability (p 0.004); and handicap dimensions (p 0.002; RM 5.63 IC1.58-20.80). It was concluded that patients suffering oral mucosa disease related to stress showed poor quality of life.

Abstract: Oral health is an integral part of an individual’s general health, interfering with all dimensions of life: functional, aesthetic, psychological, social, physical, nutritional, and even psychosocial. Hence oral health is directly related to quality of life. Periodontitis is one of the most prevalent oral diseases and one of the major causes of tooth loss, impacting negatively on self-reported individuals’ quality of life. Periodontal maintenance therapy aims to effectively minimize the recurrence of periodontal disease, as well as the incidence of tooth loss. In periodontal literature, studies associated with quality of life indicators, presented in the form of questionnaires aimed at measuring the impact of periodontitis and tooth loss on self-reported individual’s quality of life, highlight the "Oral Impacts on Daily Performance" (OIDP) and "Oral Health Impact Profile" (OHIP). As such, this study presents a critical review of the literature and describes the impact of periodontal disease and tooth loss on the quality of life of patients undergoing periodontal maintenance therapy.

Background. Prison units are marked by structural deficiencies, especially in relation to the female gender. Objectives. To measure the self-perceived impact of oral health on the quality of life of Brazilian women in detention. Methodology. A survey was carried out conducted in the penitentiary at Juiz de Fora (Minas Gerais, Brazil) using an instrument with semistructured questions and validated scales, including the Oral Health Impact Profile-14. 99 women were interviewed. The analysis was based on a theoretical model of determination, with hierarchical blocks of variables. Bivariate analysis was done using the Mann–Whitney, test and multivariate analysis was used using linear regression. The significance level was set at 5%. Results. 33% experienced tooth loss after incarceration, (3.70 ± 3.26 lost teeth). 65.6% rated the dental service as fair/poor. The highest prevalence of oral health impact was for the domains of psychological discomfort (50.5%) and physical pain (40.4%). There is a negative impact on psychological discomfort: the number of dental consultations in the past year and self-perceived general health. There is an impact on physical pain: self-declared color and anxiety. Self-perceived general health had an impact on the domains of psychological disability and social disadvantage. Depression had an impact on the total score. Conclusion. This study revealed a self-perceived impact of oral health on the quality of life of women inmates. We need to ensure high-quality access to dental treatment in prisons.

AbstractThe objective of this work was to evaluate the association between quality of life with the oral health in elderly women participating in a coexistence group in Southern Brazil. Study of the descriptive type, analytical, cross-sectional approach, with women aged 60 years or more, participants of a coexistence group in a city in Southern Brazil. Data collection used the instrument Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). The study had the participation of 64 elderly women aged between 60 and 88 years old with a mean of 69.8 ± 7.31 years. The areas that presented the highest values were “Physical Pain”, “Psychological Distress” and “Physical Disability”. The highest averages of the total scores of the OHIP-14 occurred in individuals with lower family income and low education, who showed signs of depression, changes in taste, difficulty to feel the taste of certain foods and malnutrition. Low education, change of taste and malnutrition by the arm circumference were associated with poor quality of life arising from oral disorders.

Abstract BackgroundThe process of human body ageing is an inevitable phenomenon affecting all organs. Hence, the concept of Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) was introduced, based on the definition of health developed by WHO. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of selected oral health parameters on oral health-related quality of life in elderly residents of South-West Poland.MethodsThe study involved 500 participants who were the citizens of South-West Poland aged 65 and more. There was an oral examination performed, including the assessment of coronal and root caries, periodontal disease, dental prosthetic status and xerostomia. The impact of oral health-related quality of life was measured using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14). Furthermore, socio-demographic questionnaires were obtained from participants. Logistic bivariate and multivariate regression analyses of dependent variables and independent variables were carried out as part of the study. ResultsThe mean value of DMFT was 27.5 ± 5.0. A higher number of DMF and extracted teeth resulted in increased values in all seven domains and exhibited a significant negative impact on the quality of life. Moreover, it enabled predicting values in individual domains of the OHIP-14 scale.ConclusionsThe number of missing teeth and teeth with caries constituted the predictors of poorer Oral Health-Related Quality of Life in all domains of the OHIP-14 scale. The impact of gingival bleeding on the quality of life was demonstrated. There was a decrease in the oral health-related quality of life in single individuals with several comorbidities and medications taken.

Background. India establishes a geriatric population of about 80 million which is 7.2% of the total population. The geriatric population is often faced by a negative impact on their quality of life due to poor oral health. Objectives. To assess the impact of oral disease on daily activities and quality of life among the institutionalized elderly in Kanpur, India. Materials and Method. A total of fifty-six patients were purposively selected from two old age homes through convenience sampling technique. To assess the oral health status WHO basic oral health survey form (1997) was used. Short version of Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP - 14) questionnaire was used to assess the Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL). Independent t-test and ANOVA test was done to determine the relationship between the groups. Results. Presence or absence of grossly decayed teeth, chronic periodontitis, based on edentulism and remaining sound teeth status produced no significant differences in any of the domains. In comparison with males, females experienced greater impact of oral diseases with respect to mean OHIP-14 score; however, it was non – significant (p=0.45). Conclusion. Oral health status of the institutionalized subjects in Kanpur city is poor, with edentulism and periodontitis. The effect of oral diseases on the lives of elderly is comparatively low and is non-significant.

Childhood Caries

Early Childhood Caries (ECC) are one of the major oral diseases affecting children. ECC adversely affects the children’s as well as their parent/caregivers quality of life. The present study aims to assess the quality of life in children with Early Childhood Caries aged 6–72 months using the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale. It also aims to compare the quality of life between children with pufa scores of > 0 and a pufa score = 0. A total of 238 children aged 6 months to 72 months with ECC and their parent/caregiver were included in the present study. Oral examinations of the children were performed by the principal examiner using the defs and pufa index, which was followed by a personal interview of the 13 items in the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact scale among the 238 parents/caregivers. The results showed that, overall, Early Childhood Caries have a negative impact on children’s quality of life, as assessed by the parent/caregiver. The overall Early Childhood Oral Health Impact scale score ranged from 0–32 (mean ± SD, 14.12 ± 6.72). Children with a pufa score > 0 (mean ± SD, 16.14 ± 6.27, p < 0.001) have significantly lower quality of life than children with pufa score = 0 (mean ± SD, 9.07 ± 4.94, p < 0.001). Early Childhood Caries had a negative impact on the quality of life of children aged 6–72 months. Children with a pufa score of “0” had better oral health-related quality of life than children with a pufa score > 0.

The aim of this study was to assess oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) of patients before, during and after completion of implant-supported full-arch immediate loading rehabilitation according to the Columbus Bridge Protocol (CBP). 25 patients with compromised dentition were rehabilitated according to the CBP and were assessed for OHRQoL using 4 questionnaires specifically realized for this study and inspired to the OHIP (Oral Health Impact Profile) questionnaire. Patients assessed themselves before surgery, during the healing period (1 week and 2 months after surgery) and after definitive prosthodontic treatment (4 months after surgery). The questionnaires specifically investigated patients’ pain, confort, home oral hygiene habits, satisfaction related to esthetics, masticatory ability, phonetics and general satisfaction toward the treatment.Patients reported an improvement of OHRQoL after full-arch immediate loading rehabilitation. A statistically significant improvement in aesthetic and chewing ability was found. After 4 months 92% of the patients did not feel tense with their smile, 96% did not show problems to relate with other people or smiling, 92% did not show difficulty to eat some foods. Phonetics was found to be a critical issue, especially in the intermediate phase of healing. One week after surgery the percentage of patients who was very satisfied with phonetics slightly decreased from 48% to 36%. The assessment of patients' OHRQoL related to full-arch immediate loading implant therapy exhibited a significant improvement of their quality of life. The questionnaires herein presented could be an effective tool to evaluate patients' reaction to oral rehabilitation.

Aim: The objective was to evaluate oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) in patients aging 18 - 60 years, considering oral health, dental aesthetic impact and self-esteem. Methods: The sample comprised 81 patients, regardless gender/ethnicity, seeking for dental aesthetic treatment at University São Francisco, Bragança Paulista-SP. The instruments used to assess the OHRQOL were the questionnaires: 1. Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSS); 2. Oral Health Impact Profile-14 Brazil (OHIP) and 3. Psychosocial Impact and Aesthetic Dental Questionnaire-Brazil (PIADQ). Data were analyzed by Spearman correlation (α=5%) and descriptive statistics. Results: The older the patient the worse the oral and general health conditions found (p<0.05). Moreover, the age showed significant correlation with OIHP and PIADQ questionnaires scores (p=0.000). The three questionnaires showed moderate positive correlations (p<0.05 r=0.461 – 0.685) among them. In addition, OHIP and QIPED questionnaires correlated with general health and oral health (p<0.05 r=0.230–0.558). Conclusion: It could be concluded that aesthetic dental needs interfere, in fact, in the oral health-related quality of life and in the self-steem of patients seeking for treatment University São Francisco Dental School.

<p><strong>Objective:</strong> The aim of this study was to review the literature about the relationship between gingivitis and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). <strong>Material and methods:</strong> Relevant databases were searched for articles in English, which had been published from October 1990 to February 2014. Two independent examiners selected relevant papers, by initially assessing the abstracts and subsequently the full-text articles. Selected studies were grouped based on clinical and OHRQoL instruments and submitted to qualitative analyses. <strong>Results:</strong> Out of 184 references, twelve were eligible for synthesis. All studies were cross-sectional and reported data from the following five different countries: Chile (n=2), India (n=1), Brazil (n=3), Thailand (n=5) and Sudan (n=1). The number and age of subjects included ranged from 53 to 9133 and from eight to 106 years, respectively. The following six OHRQoL instruments were used: Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP), OHIP-14, Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ), Oral Impacts on Daily Performance (OIDP), Child-OIDP and Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). The different methods to evaluate the presence of gingivitis were: necrotizing ulcerative gingival lesions (n=2), Gingival Index (n=2), Community Periodontal Index (n=7) and gingival bleeding after tooth brushing (n=1). <strong>Conclusion:</strong> This literature review suggests that gingivitis is associated with impairment of OHRQoL. </p>
