Aims and objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the influence of periodontal status on quality of life (QoL) with the use of a short version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) in patients with periodontal disease attending university in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods: Adult patients diagnosed with periodontal disease and having minimum of 15 teeth or more present was included. Included patients were requested to fill a questionnaire form and undergo a comprehensive clinical periodontal examination. The influence of oral health on patients’ QoL was assessed using the Arabic version of OHIP-14. Results: A total of 25 adults aged between 23 and 80 years with a mean age of 49 years completed the questionnaire. The impact of periodontal disease on patient’s QoL was statistically significant in 2 domains, namely physical pain ( P = .004) and psychological disability ( P = .001). The severity of periodontal disease did not show a negative impact on functional limitation. In general, the total OHIP-14 scores were statistically significant with the number of teeth with pocket depths of 5 mm ( P = .001) and 7 mm ( P = .011). Conclusions: Periodontal destruction has a negative impact on QoL. The use of this index as well as other patient-centered outcome measures has significant implications in periodontology, including treatment planning and evaluation of treatment results.

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.

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.

<p>The aim of the present study was to evaluate parental perceptions of oral health status in preschool children. A cross-sectional study was carried with 843 Brazilian children between 3 and 5 years of age. Parents/guardians answered a self-administered questionnaire on the health of their children and sociodemographic data. Parental perceptions of their child's oral health were determined by the responses to the following question: "How would you describe your child's oral health?" The Brazilian version of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (B-ECOHIS) was answered by parents/guardians and used to measure the impact of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) on preschool children and their families. Three examiners performed oral exams on the children (K= 0.85-0.90). Descriptive analytical statistics were carried out, followed by logistic regression for complex samples (α=5%). The following variables were significantly associated with parental perceptions of children's oral health: parental perception of general health as poor (OR=18.25; 95% CI: 3.36-98.96), negative impact on family's OHRQoL (OR=13.82; 95% CI: 4.27-44.72), child aged five years (OR=7.40; 95% CI: 1.49-36.63) and the interaction between history of toothache and dental caries (OR=10.02; 95% CI: 1.17-85.61). Thus, parental perceptions of oral health are influenced only by clinical conditions with symptoms, such as dental caries with toothache. Other oral conditions, such as malocclusion or traumatic dental injury, were not associated with parental perceptions of their child's oral health.</p>

AbstractThe present study used 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to assess the impact on salivary microbiome of different grades of dental and periodontal disease and the combination of both (hereinafter referred to as oral disease), in terms of bacterial diversity, co-occurrence network patterns and predictive models. Our scale of overall oral health was used to produce a convenience sample of 81 patients from 270 who were initially recruited. Saliva samples were collected from each participant. Sequencing was performed in Illumina MiSeq with 2 × 300 bp reads, while the raw reads were processed according to the Mothur pipeline. The statistical analysis of the 16S rDNA sequencing data at the species level was conducted using the phyloseq, DESeq2, Microbiome, SpiecEasi, igraph, MixOmics packages. The simultaneous presence of dental and periodontal pathology has a potentiating effect on the richness and diversity of the salivary microbiota. The structure of the bacterial community in oral health differs from that present in dental, periodontal or oral disease, especially in high grades. Supragingival dental parameters influence the microbiota’s abundance more than subgingival periodontal parameters, with the former making a greater contribution to the impact that oral health has on the salivary microbiome. The possible keystone OTUs are different in the oral health and disease, and even these vary between dental and periodontal disease: half of them belongs to the core microbiome and are independent of the abundance parameters. The salivary microbiome, involving a considerable number of OTUs, shows an excellent discriminatory potential for distinguishing different grades of dental, periodontal or oral disease; considering the number of predictive OTUs, the best model is that which predicts the combined dental and periodontal status.

Introduction: Periodontal diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms that induce increases in of local and systemic proinflammatory cytokines, resulting in periodontal damage. The onset and evolution of periodontal diseases are influenced by many local and systemic risk factors. Educational objective: In this article, we aim to review the results of the research on the impact of chronic stress on the occurrence, development, and response to periodontal disease treatments and on the pathophysiological mechanisms of periodontal disease. Conclusion: Chronic stress has a negative impact on the occurrence, development, and response to the treatment of periodontal disease via indirect actions on the periodontium. This can result from behavioral changes caused by stress (poor dental hygiene, smoking, etc.) and a direct neuroimmunoendocrinological action related to the consequences (particularly immunological) of the secretion of certain chemicals (e.g., cortisol) induced by the activation of the hypothalamus and the autonomic nervous system in response to stress. These factors necessitate multidisciplinary management (e.g., physician, oral surgeon, and psychologist) of patients to identify subjects with chronic stress and to employ countermeasures to decrease the impact of stress on the periodontium.

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.

Chapter 7 addresses the processes and pitfalls of evaluating, reasoning about, and attending to the needs of patients with pain. This chapter builds on Chapter 6, which addressed clinical assessment, explaining in detail the process of extracting and abstracting information from the pain narrative (clinical history or interview) to lay the foundation for a problem list and differential diagnosis. The problem list and differential diagnosis are described and contrasted so that clinicians will be comfortable with both. A clinical model explains the need for patient-centered approaches to be omnipresent but balanced with an appropriate disease-centered knowledge base that is likewise informed by understanding the patient’s healthcare-related values and motivations. A balanced approach is emphasized. The process of planning for diagnostic testing, including imaging, laboratory testing, provocative maneuvers, and targeted referrals, is described. The last section of the chapter addresses the impact and nature of cognitive and affective biases that can mitigate the effectiveness of diagnostic reasoning. A coordinated strategy to limit the negative impact of diagnostic reasoning biases is presented in a memorable way. Finally, the ethics of errors and error disclosure are discussed as well as the process of error disclosure.

Purpose. The aim of this prospective longitudinal clinical pilot study was the evaluation of the effect on the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) and patient-centered results of the envelope technique for Connective Tissue Graft (CTG).Methods. Sixteen patients (11 females) 24 to 71 years of age () received CTG that had been harvested from the palate and grafted using the envelope technique. Prior to and 3 months after surgery, all patients were examined clinically, completed the OHIP-G49 questionnaire, and were asked to judge the results of surgery.Results. Mean baseline recession depth of  mm was reduced by  mm (). Root coverage amounted to %. In 5 of 16 defects complete root coverage was achieved. Pain at the donor site was more pronounced than at recipient site regarding prevalence (8/6; ), intensity ( [visual analogue scale]; ), and duration ( days; ). Baseline OHIP () was decreased by three months after surgery (). Thirteen patients (81%) would undergo CTG surgery for similar reasons again.Conclusions. Root coverage using CTG according to the envelope technique provided improvement of OHIP as early as 3 months after surgery. Over all, patients were reasonably satisfied with the surgical technique and its results.
