Background: The aim of the study was to compare the oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) between cancer survivors: with rapid orthodontic treatment (TX) (up to 12 months) and standard TX (orthodontic treatment time longer than 16 months). Methods: There were 76 cancer survivors (48 women and 28 men) allocated into groups with rapid (36 people) or standard (40 people) duration of TX. OHRQoL was assessed on the basis of Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) values, measured before TX, 2 weeks and 3 months after the onset of TX, and after the end of TX. A repeated ANOVA test was used to check the statistical significance between the scores. Results: There were no significant differences regarding the OHIP-14 values between the examined groups at all stages of the examination. Both groups presented significant (p < 0.001) improvement of the values of OHRQoL at the end of TX comparing to the values achieved before the onset of TX. Conclusions: Duration of orthodontic treatment by itself had no impact on oral-health-related quality of life.

It is a well-known fact that people with Ehlers–Danlos syndromes (EDS) report a worse oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) than the general population. The aim of this study was to examine whether there is a correlation between the subjective OHRQoL and the objectively measured oral health in people with EDS. To determine the subjective OHRQoL, the German version of the 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire was used. Furthermore, all participants in the study were clinically examined, and the measured parameters were recorded using the Physical Oral Health Index (PhOX). Altogether, records of 46 participants were collected. The median (interquartile range (IQR)) of the OHIP-14 was 17 (23) points and the median of the PhOX was 73 (16) points. However, a statistically significant correlation could not be demonstrated (r = −0.240, p = 0.108). In the observed cohort, for participants who reported having pain often or very often, the OHIP score (median = 24, IQR = 18, p < 0.01) was higher than the score of the group given by participants who never or intermittently experienced pain (median = 8, IQR = 18). In conclusion, patients with EDS showed a reduced OHRQoL, although it was not possible to observe an association between the subjective OHRQoL and the objective oral health. However, participants who often or very often suffer from pain in their tooth, mouth, and jaw areas showed a reduced OHRQoL.

Maxillofacial defects cause impact on oral health related quality of life (OHRQol) including limitations in functional activities, communication, social interaction, and intimacy. The obturator prosthesis is commonly used as an effective means for rehabilitating maxillectomy patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate impact of definitive obturator prosthesis on oral health related quality of life. In the period between 2015 -2017, a total of twenty five (25) patients with acquired maxillary defects based on Okay classification have been selected and rehabilitated with definitive obturator prostheses .The OHRQol was measured using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-Edent-19) and Obturator functioning scale (OFS) with standardized questionnaire after 2 weeks & 3months of prosthesis function.To find the significant difference between the bivariate samples in Paired groups the Wilcoxon signed rank test was used. With respect to oral health impact profile –Edent 19 scale, the mean functional limitation score were 6.72 and 5.20 indicates that there is significant improvement in chewing performance after 2 weeks and 3 months of prosthesis function. Significant improvement in oral health impact profile was noticed in physical (M = 5.84, 4.88), Psychological (M=4.84, 3.96) and social disabilities (M=5.28, 4.16). Similarly, when observed with Obturator functioning scale, significant improvement were noted in chewing performance phonetics, appearance and miscellaneous aspects. Analysing the OHIP –Edent-19 scale and obturator functioning scale (OFS-15), statistically significant differences (Wilcoxon rank test p value = 0.0005) were observed. Within the limits of this study, it can be concluded that highly positive correlation exists between definitive obturator prostheses and oral health related quality of life (OHRQol).

Abstract Objective To evaluate whether periapical surgery affects oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) within the first postoperative week. Study design The primary outcomes in 133 patients (54 men, 79 women; mean age 50.8 years) undergoing periapical surgery were the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) score and postoperative sequelae, including pain, analgesic intake, swelling, limited mouth opening, chewing difficulties, and postoperative infection. Results We found a significant effect on OHIP-14, pain, and analgesics, which decreased throughout the week. We found no significant differences in mean OHIP-14, pain scores, or analgesic use for gender, medical history, surgical flaps, operation time, or location of the operated teeth. Younger patients had a higher OHIP-14 score in the first 2 days after surgery and more pain on the first postoperative day. Women experienced more pain during the first 3 days. Smokers had a higher OHIP-14 score on the first postoperative day and greater pain during the first 3 days compared to non-smokers. Conclusion We identified a low incidence of pain and reduced OHRQoL following periapical surgery. The postoperative reduction in OHRQoL and pain were of short duration, with maximum intensity in the early postoperative period and rapidly decreasing with time.
