Summary: The search for and development of methods for determining the quality of life is an urgent problem of foreign and domestic medicine, and the state of dental health plays a very important role. An important role in human communication plays the maxillofacial area. Therefore, the most important areas and defects associated with the communication process – defects in the frontal area, smile, change of pronunciation, spitting during the conversation – all these signs accompany a number of anomalous processes. Objective: to assess the impact of dental status on the quality of life of the adult population in the presence of the disease periodontal disease in combination with musculoskeletal dysfunction in patients with dental anomalies and deformities. Materials and methods. To study this goal, a survey of 283 patients who applied was conducte with complaints of aesthetic defect of the dentition, combined with the presence of joint pain and periodontal disease of varying severity. Results. A complete analysis of factors that significantly affected the quality of life of patients with a number of diseases was obtained oral cavity. Conclusions. Deficiencies related to oral health reduce the quality of life of our patients, and the treatment significantly changes its quality depending on age, sex and method. But for the best results positive changes in the quality of life of the patient dentists can expect only by conducting a comprehensive treatment. Key words: quality of life, dental health correction.

Introduction: The impact of periodontal disease on oral health–related quality of life (OHRQoL) has often been investigated from a quantitative research perspective, which is based on clinical findings and an OHRQoL questionnaire. Very few studies have examined the issue from the view of qualitative research. To our knowledge, there have been no previous qualitative studies focusing the effect of periodontal disease on OHRQoL in Indonesian older people. Objectives: To explore and understand the impact of periodontal disease on the OHRQoL of older people as a subjective reflection in relation to periodontal disease experiences. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted in a sample of 31 older people with generalized chronic periodontitis. Thematic analysis was used to identify the key issues in participants’ accounts. The analysis was undertaken by 2 independent coders to ensure reliability. To achieve thematic saturation, successive interviews were undertaken until 5 sequential interviews did not bring new themes. Results: Participants reported the negative effects likely related to periodontal disease. The impacts of periodontal disease were described by these older people as affecting more than pain, physical discomfort, and physical function restrictions. Periodontal disease also affected their psychological and social aspects of daily living. In addition, this study identified themes related to individual and environmental factors that may modify and personalize periodontal disease experiences. Furthermore, this study identified a misleading belief that problems related to periodontal disease were a normal part of aging, which might influence individuals’ expectations toward oral health. Relatedly, participants frequently reported that the progression of tooth mobility to tooth loss was an inevitable part of the aging process. Conclusions: Periodontal disease negatively affected participants’ OHRQoL. It is fundamental to understand older people’s perceptions toward their periodontal disease as well as individual and environmental factors that may have an influence on their periodontal disease experiences. Knowledge Transfer Statement: This study is a reflection of Indonesian older people’s subjective periodontal disease experiences. Therefore, the present study can be used to understand older people’s perceptions, attitudes, behaviors, and experiences toward periodontal disease and how this disease may affect their quality of life. This study also highlights a widespread and misleading belief that oral problems related to periodontal disease are an inevitable part of aging in this study population.

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.

The Impact

Down syndrome (DS) is a genetic disorder. From 1997 to 2015, 473 DS patients were born in Latvia. Prenatal diagnosis allows terminating pregnancies with high risk of DS. The aim of our research was to assess the impact of environmental quality (family and extra-familial care) on the child's development, range of services for DS patients, and to identify the optimal early support system. Families and specialists were interviewed to analyze differences between children in families and institutional care clients. State financial support for a DS child in the family is less than to a child in institutional care, and does not provide adequate rehabilitation services. Conclusion: the environment (family/institution, available resources, and rehabilitation services) where the child grows up after the birth, determines both their quality of life and level of independence development. If the somatic problem-solving path is clear, then social integration needs to be improved. Support of inter-professional teams for the families is necessary immediately after the diagnostic statement in order to ensure a more favourable family environment and to reduce the risk of institutionalization. Despite the potentially higher early intensive rehabilitation costs, in the course of time we can predict that it will provide an economic effect on the state and improve the patient and their family's quality of life.

Objective.This study assessed the impact of periodontal diseases on health-related quality of life of adult users of the Brazilian Unified Health System.Study Design.A cross-sectional study was conducted on an outpatient basis. The sample included 151 adults treated in the Periodontics section at Dental Specialty Centres of Juiz de Fora (Minas Gerais, Brazil). TheOral Health Impact Profile(OHIP-14) measured the impact of periodontal disease on quality of life. Participants were interviewed to obtain self-perception of general and oral health and socioeconomic data, and dental records were consulted to obtain periodontal status data. The values of central tendency of the OHIP-14 were compared with socioeconomic, demographic, and self-reported health predictors using nonparametric tests. The final analysis was performed using multiple linear regressions.Results.The results showed that psychological discomfort and physical disability exhibited a negative impact. The following variables can explain approximately 27% of the impact of oral health conditions on health-related quality of life in this group: periodontal disease, self-perceived oral health, and the need to use or replace dental prosthesis.Conclusion.The need for prosthetic rehabilitation and worse periodontal status are associated with health-related quality of life, which can be predicted by the self-perception of health.

The aim of this study was to determine the impact of periodontal disease on the quality of life of individuals with diabetes according to different clinical criteria (I-AAP, II-Beck, III-Machtei, IV-Lopez, V-Albandar, VI-Tonetti, and VII-CPI). This cross-sectional study sampled 300 individuals in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The Oral Health Impact Profile was used to measure the impact of periodontal disease on quality of life. Prevalence of periodontal disease was 35.3%, 30.7%, 35.0%, 9.7%, 92.3%, 25.3%, and 75.3% using criteria I, II, III, IV, V, VI, and VII, respectively. The III-Machtei (P=0.043) and IV-Lopez (P<0.001) criteria were associated with OHIP-14; functional limitation was associated with IV-Lopez (P=0.006) and V-Albandar (P=0.018) criteria. Pain was only associated with V-Albandar criteria (P<0.001). Psychological discomfort was associated with the IV-Lopez (P=0.018) criteria. Physical disability was associated with the IV-Lopez (P=0.047) and V-Tonetti (P=0.046) criteria. Being handicapped was associated with the I-AAP (P=0.025) and II-Beck (P=0.041) criteria. Concepts of health and disease determined by clinical diagnostic criteria may influence the assessment of the impact of periodontal disease on diabetics' quality of life.

Background. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) is impacted by periodontal disease and orofacial pain. There is a limited research examining the impact of avoidance of care or physiological arousal related to the fear of pain response on periodontal-related OHRQoL.Methods. Data are from the Center for Oral Health Research in Appalachia family-based study focusing on 1,339 adults. Measures included a modified Periodontal Screening and Recording Index across sextants of dentition, dental fear survey, Fear of Pain Questionnaire-9, and Oral Health Impact Profile-14. Structural equation modeling was used to estimate the effects of periodontal disease screening indicators on OHRQoL including the mediating role of dental fear while accounting for fear of pain.Results. A significant total effect was found for the mandibular anterior sextant, components of dental anxiety/fear, and indicators of OHRQoL (pain and discomfort,β=.165,p=.001; psychosocial impact,β=.199,p<.001). The maxillary anterior region was significantly associated with pain discomfort (β=.116,p=.017) and functionality (β=.130,p=.011).Conclusions. Findings provide a granular perspective of periodontal disease indicators and OHRQoL. Dental avoidance/anticipatory fear and physiological arousal mediate OHRQoL in individuals who have indicators of periodontal disease in sextants that may be visible and susceptible to higher pain and psychosocial impact.

Abstract Researchers are investigating new technologies to mitigate or prevent symptoms of Down syndrome (DS), including chromosome silencing and pharmacotherapy. We surveyed parents of individuals with DS to assess their opinions on two hypothetical scenarios describing prenatal chromosome silencing and pediatric pharmacological intervention to improve neurocognition in children with DS. Although a slim majority of participants supported the availability of both therapies, respondent support was contingent on the risks presented, including the risk of miscarriage in the prenatal intervention and the impact of pharmaceuticals on their children's personality. Many parents expressed ambivalence, articulating a desire to improve their children's quality of life but requiring more safety and efficacy research before agreeing to a genetic or pharmacological intervention.
