Introduction: Quality of life is one of the new concepts of health, which encompasses different aspects of life such as oral health. The oral health related quality of life is affected by different factors that assessed in different groups. Due to increasing population growth and the existence of special physical, psychological and social conditions, elderly are one of the important groups. So, the present study aimed to assess the oral health related quality of life among elderly people who lived in nursing centers in Karaj, in 2020. Methods: In this cross-sectional analytic study, oral health related quality of life among elderly people above 60 years in Karaj were evaluated using a questionnaire including demographic information, oral health behaviors and Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). Data were analyzed using T-test, one-way ANOVA and linear regression test by SPSS-22 software. Results: A total of 149 people were participated, which 62.4% (93) were female and 37.6% (56) were male. The mean GOHAI in participants of this study was 46.05±6.52 (from 12-60 point). The regression test showed the relationship between the score of different dimensions of GOHAI with age, gender, income, and subjective assessment of oral health, last dental examinations and the number of teeth (P<0.05). Conclusion: In this study, the oral health related quality of life among the elderly people who lived in nursing homes in Karaj in 2020 was evaluated moderate and good.

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.
