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.

Background: The aim of the study was to compare the quality of life (QoL) of cancer survivors with a control group of healthy subjects before, during, and after the orthodontic treatment. Methods: Consecutive cancer survivors (40 people) who were looking for orthodontic treatment between 2008 and 2015 were enrolled into the study. Healthy orthodontic patients matched for age (±4 years), sex, and malocclusion served as controls. The 14-item version of the Oral Health Impact Profile was used to assess the effect of orthodontic treatment on QoL before, during, and after the orthodontic treatment. Results: There were no significant differences between both groups regarding the cast model, cephalometric analysis, and photographic documentation analysis. There was a significant worsening of QoL after the onset of the orthodontic treatment with a significant improvement after the treatment. Male cancer survivor patients reported significantly lower QoL during the treatment time, which was not observed in the male control group. Conclusions: The outcome of orthodontic treatment in cancer survivors did not differ from the healthy orthodontic patients. The orthodontic treatment had an impact on the oral health quality of life both in the cancer and the control groups with a significantly higher impact in male cancer survivor patients.

Με τη συγκεκριμένη έρευνα, επιχειρείται μία σχοινοτενής διερεύνηση και πραγμάτευση της συμπεριφοράς των ατόμων με αναπηρία και των φροντιστών τους (μαθητών, γονέων, κηδεμόνων, εκπαιδευτικών) απέναντι στην προτεινόμενη οδοντιατρική θεραπεία. Εν προκειμένω, καθίσταται μία προσπάθεια ιχνηλάτησης και κατανόησης των μεταβλητών, που επενεργούν καταλυτικά στη στάση και συμπεριφορά των ατόμων με αναπηρία και των φροντιστών τους. Στην εμπειρική έρευνα που διεξήχθη τα σχολικά έτη 2018-2019 και 2019-2020 έλαβαν μέρος εκατόν ενενήντα επτά (197) άτομα (μαθητές, γονείς, κηδεμόνες, νηπιαγωγοί, δάσκαλοι, καθηγητές) που αποτελούν μέλη λειτουργίας των ΣΜΕΑΕ («Ειδικά Νηπιαγωγεία, Ειδικά Δημοτικά, Ειδικά Γυμνάσια και Λύκεια και Ε.Ε.Ε.Ε.Κ. (Εργαστήρια Ειδικής Επαγγελματικής Εκπαίδευσης και Κατάρτισης»). Ως εργαλείο έρευνας χρησιμοποιήθηκε το ερωτηματολόγιο, το οποίο σχεδιάστηκε, συντάχθηκε και εκπονήθηκε από τον ερευνητή στη λογική αντίστοιχων διεθνών (Oral Health Impact Profile, Child Oral Health Quality of Life, Parental-Caregiver Perceptions Questionnaires, Oral Health Index) που δίνονται προς συμπλήρωση στους φροντιστές των ατόμων με αναπηρία, όταν καταφεύγουν στις οδοντιατρικές μονάδες και κλινικές, προκειμένου να εξεταστούν ώστε να ακολουθήσουν την προτεινόμενη οδοντιατρική θεραπεία. Τα εμπειρικά ευρήματα και εκβάσεις, καταληκτικά, κατάδειξαν ότι η κακή κατάσταση της στοματικής κοιλότητας των ατόμων με αναπηρία, επηρεάζει ελάχιστα τη γνωστική τους απόδοση, τον ύπνο τους, τη μάσηση των τροφών και το συναισθηματικό και συμπεριφορικό τους προφίλ κατά τη διάρκεια της σχολικής τους καθημερινότητας και ζωής.

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.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Orthodontic treatment aims at oral health and restoration of function as main objectives, however, psychological and social effects end up being the main reason for the demand for treatment. Objective: To determine the association between the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), the need for orthodontic treatment and bullying among Brazilian teenagers. Methods: This was a cross-sectional epidemiological study. To assess the malocclusion, the Dental Aesthetic Index was used. And the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 was used to analyze the OHRQoL. The Kidscape questionnaire was used to investigate cases of bullying. The following variables were also included: previous orthodontic treatment and a desire to fix the teeth to improve one’s appearance. Multivariate analysis was performed using logistic regression considering the poor OHRQoL as a response variable. Results: 815 teenagers participated in the study. There was a statistically significant association between oral health-related quality of life and the variables: previous orthodontic treatment (p= 0.0270), desire to fix the teeth (p< 0.0001), sex (p= 0.0309), history of being a victim of bullying (p< 0.0001), frequency of bullying episodes (p= 0.0170), and consequences of bullying (p< 0.0001). The following were considered as risk factors for poor OHRQoL: lack of previous orthodontic treatment (OR = 2.191) and negative consequences of bullying (OR = 3.042). Conclusion: The need for orthodontic treatment was not associated with the OHRQoL; however, bullying and previous orthodontic treatment had a statistically significant association with this variable.
