ABSTRACT Introduction The purpose of this study was to compare the oral health status and its effect on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of hospitalized and nonhospitalized elderly patients in a single community. The null hypothesis for the study states that there is no difference in the oral health status and OHRQoL between hospitalized and nonhospitalized elderly patients. Materials and methods This study was conducted at the King Khalid Hospital and College of Dentistry, King Saud University, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A total of 99 (43 – hospitalized and 56 – nonhospitalized) geriatric patients participated in this study. Oral health-related quality of life was estimated using the geriatric oral health assessment index questionnaire. Decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index and plaque index were used to assess the oral health status of the study participants. Results The mean age of the study participants was 68.2 years; 17.2% were females and 82.8% were males. There was no significant difference between hospitalized and nonhospitalized patients in OHRQoL and DMFT index. However, the oral hygiene status was better among nonhospitalized patients as compared with hospitalized patients. Conclusion There was a significant difference in the oral hygiene status between hospitalized and nonhospitalized geriatric patients. Clinical significance Caregivers must be sensitized to the importance of oral health for the elderly population, and oral health should be considered an integral component of general health.

Introduction. Although the associations between orthodontic and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) have been explored, little research has been done to address the influence of brackets type on perceived OHRQOL. The aim of this study was to assess whether the levels of OHRQOL in Chinese adolescence patients were influenced by the type of brackets.Materials and Methods. One hundred fifty Chinese orthodontic adolescence patients completed the 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14, Chinese version) at five distinct intervals: after insertion of the fixed appliance at 1 week (T1), 1 month (T2), 3 months (T3), and 6 months (T4); and after treatment (T5).Results. Patients with self-ligating brackets were associated with less pain and discomfort at any intervals compared with conventional brackets, but no significant difference of overall OHIP-14 scores could be found between two groups. Moreover, in both groups, overall scores at T1 and T2 were significantly higher than the scores at any other intervals in both groups.Conclusions. The type of orthodontic appliance did not affect oral health-related quality of life in Chinese adolescence patients.

Abstract Backgrounds: Quality of life related to oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14) is one of the important dimensions of quality of life. Since using narcotics or stimulants increases the incidence of periodontal diseases, we aimed to determine impact of Oral health-related quality of life in narcotic or stimulant addicts who referred to maintenance methadone therapy (MMT) centers in Ahvaz City, Iran.Methods: It was descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study which has conducted on 187 narcotic and stimulant addicts who referred to MMT centers in Ahvaz city; 2020. The data collection tools included the demographic variables and the standard OHIP-14 questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and LMS test were run at the significance level of less than 0.05. Results: The mean and standard deviation of the participants' age was 36.03 ± 8.98 years. The quality-of-life scores related to oral health were 34.89 ± 6.50 totally as well as 37.37 and 33.96 in narcotic and stimulant addicts, respectively. The total quality of life related to OHIP-14 did not have a significant relationship with variables of age, life companions, level of education, number of children, economic status, employment status, insurance status, underlying disease, toothbrush use status, last dentist visit, and number of missing teeth (P> 0.05). However, a significant difference was found between the quality of life related to oral health based on the type of substance used (narcotic or stimulant), so that the mean quality of life related to oral health was higher in narcotic addicts than stimulant users (P <0.05). Conclusion: The quality of life related to OHIP-14 was more unfavorable in stimulant users than narcotic users. So, policy makers and authorities are required to focus their interventions and research programs to improve health-related quality of life in addicts, especially stimulant users.

Objective: Chemotherapy and radiotherapy, used to treat childhood hematological malignancies (HM), can negatively impact oral tissues and organs. This study aimed to evaluate oral health-related quality of life in children with HM. Material and Methods: A total of 59 children, including 29 undergoing HM (21 for acute lymphocytic leukemia, 2 for acute myelocytic leukemia, 4 for Hodgkin lymphoma, and 2 for non-Hodgkin lymphoma) and 30 healthy volunteers, were included in this cross-sectional study. The mean age of the entire study group was 78.63 ± 34.41 months. The mean age of the HM and control groups was 87.12 ± 35.04 and 70.95 ± 34.85 months, respectively. The Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (SOHI), Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index, and Turkish version of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS-T) were administered to all children. The data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 22.0). Results: The age and gender distributions of the two groups were similar. The SOHI was significantly higher in the HM group, whereas the DMFT score was similar between the groups. No significant difference in the total ECOHIS-T score was observed between the two groups, but there was a group difference in the responses to questions on pain and psychological processes. Conclusions: Oral health and self-care were negatively affected by childhood HM and the treatment thereof. Close clinical dental follow-up of such patients is required.

Locator® and ball attachments are well-established systems to attach overdentures to two inter-foraminal implants. This study aimed to evaluate differences between the two systems regarding prosthetic maintenance and patients’ oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Dental records of patients with a mandibular implant-retained overdenture were retrospectively analyzed. Prosthetic maintenance measures involving the denture suprastructure and attachment matrix and patrix were analyzed. Furthermore, the Oral Health Impact Profile-G14 (OHIP-G14) was used to evaluate OHRQoL. Results were analyzed by means of Kaplan–Meier analysis and Student’s t- and log-rank tests. The records of 122 patients were evaluated. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis revealed a significant difference between ball attachments (Group B; n patients = 47) and Locator® attachments (Group L; n patients = 75) regarding the occurrence of denture fractures (p < 0.001) and events affecting the matrix (p = 0.028) and patrix (p = 0.030). Group L had a significantly lower total OHIP-G14 score than Group B (p = 0.002). The most common maintenance events were matrix-related and denture relining for both attachment systems. Group B required more maintenance measures than Group L. Moreover, patients in Group L had better OHRQoL than patients in Group B.

(1) Background: It has been recognized that CLP condition may affect oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) due to dental anomalies and abnormal craniofacial development. Aim: To assess whether orthodontic treatment affected the levels of OHRQoL in CLP patients and their families. (2) Methods: 226 individuals (111 with cleft and 115 control) and their parents were invited to complete the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) and Family Impact Scale (FIS), respectively. The Mann–Whitney test was used for quantitative variables and the Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables. The Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient was used to correlate the results of the OHIP and FIS questionnaires. (3) Results: No significant difference was found between groups in OHIP-14 but FIS score revealed a significant difference between the two groups evaluated (p < 0.001). Only the social limitation in OHIP score revealed a significant difference (p = 0.001). Regarding FIS score, the most affected dimensions were family activities (p < 0.001), parental emotions (p = 0.001), and family conflict (p = 0.011). (4) Conclusion: Undergoing orthodontic treatment had a similar impact on the overall quality of life in CLP patients and non-cleft patients. Parents of cleft children had a poorer OHRQoL compared to what was perceived by their children and parents of non-cleft children.

Mandibular Overdenture

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) of patients using conventional dentures versus implant-supported overdentures. Materials and Methods: This study evaluated the OHRQoL of 90 patients between 35 to 75 years who were selected from several public and private dental clinics in Tehran in 2018. Of all, 45 had conventional dentures of both jaws, and 45 had a mandibular overdenture supported by two implants at the site of mandibular canine teeth and a conventional maxillary denture. The OHRQoL of patients was determined using the Oral Health Impact Prfile-20 (OHIP-20). The questionnaire was translated to Persian, and its content validity and internal consistency were confirmed. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney test, and independent t-test. Results: In the conventional denture group, 46.7% had good, 46.7% had moderate, and 6.6% had poor OHRQoL. These values were 55.6%, 37.8% and 6.6% in the overdenture group, respectively. Level of education had a significant correlation with the total score of OHIP-20 in both groups (P<0.05). But no significant association was noted between the residential status and gender of patients with different domains of OHRQoL (P>0.05) except for the psychological disability domain, which had a higher mean value in males with conventional dentures (P<0.05). Conclusion: Patients with a mandibular overdenture supported by two implants at the site of canine teeth and a conventional maxillary denture had higher OHRQoL than patients with conventional dentures of both jaws.

Objective: To investigate the impact of malocclusion on the Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) of school children. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study among four hundred and twenty five (425) 8-10 years school pupils in Lagos Nigeria. Malocclusion was assessed using the Dental Aesthetic Index while OHRQoL was assessed using the Child Perception Questionnaire (CPQ 8-10). Data entry and analyses was done with SPSS Version 23.0. Data were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis and Chi-square test and one-way ANOVA were used for comparison between variables. Level of significance was set at 0.05. Results: Gender distribution of the study population was; 48.8% (208) males and 51.2% (217) females. The mean age of the participants was 9.23±0.83 and their median age was 9 years. The prevalence of malocclusion according to DAI was 25.9%. Over 70% of the children were found to have no/ or slight need for orthodontic treatment (DAI score < 25), elective treatment was needed in 19.1% of subjects (DAI score 25-30), while in 6.8% of the surveyed population; treatment was highly desirable/mandatory. The differences in the prevalence of malocclusion among the different age groups was observed to be statistically significant (P = 0.038). The overall mean CPQ 8-10 was 19.51±17.1. There was no statistically significant difference in mean CPQ scores between gender (P=0.565), age (P=0.524) and severity of malocclusion (P=0.296) Conclusion: The prevalence of malocclusion in this study was 25.9% with an overall mean CPQ of 19.51±17.1. Higher mean CPQ values were observed with females, older age group and subjects with DAI 31- 35; however, it was not statistically significant.

Objective: To assess the parents' perception of the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and compare it with normally developing children. Study Design: 63 children with CP were recruited from 8 disability centers, and 99 healthy controls were recruited from 5 elementary schools. The ages of the children in both groups were from 6-12 years. The Franciscan Hospital for Children Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (FHC-OHRQOL) was used to measure the OHRQOL and an oral examination was conducted in the schools/centers of the children to assess the teeth, gingival health, and oral hygiene. Results: The FHC-OHRQOL showed a significant difference in 3 out of 4 sections indicating lower OHRQOL in the CP group. The examination showed no significant difference in the dental and gingival health and in the level of oral hygiene. Conclusion: The OHRQOL of children with CP is significantly lower than that of normally developing children although the oral health status of children with CP is not significantly different from that of normally developing children.
