A study was conducted to evaluate the impact of the placement of complete dentures by using the Global Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI).
Oral health quality of life indicators can be used to evaluate the effects of dental treatments.
The 26 participants were treated in a French University Clinic during 2002. They were randomly divided into two groups. Each group received new prostheses, but evaluation of the quality of life was made at different periods [baseline, denture placement (group 1), 6 and 12 weeks (group 2) after placement]. A questionnaire was used to collect information on patient's satisfaction with the previous and new prostheses. Nonparametric tests were used to test the relationships between patients' satisfaction or baseline data and GOHAI variations with time as well as to compare mean values of GOHAI within each group.
At baseline, the impact of oral health problems was apparent; the mean GOHAI-Add score was 45.8 (10.2). Six weeks after placement of the new denture, there was no difference in GOHAI scores compared with the initial assessment. An improvement in GOHAI score was observed 12 weeks after the participants received their new dentures (p < 0.05). Change in GOHAI-Add scores was negatively correlated with the initial GOHAI-Add score. Patients who preferred the new prosthesis enjoyed a positive change in GOHAI scores (p < 0.001). There was a relationship between participants' satisfaction with the new dentures and change in GOHAI scores (p < 0.05).
The GOHAI can be used to evaluate needs for and effect of the making of new complete dentures.
采用全球口腔健康评估指数（GOHAI）进行一项研究，以评估全口义齿修复的效果。
口腔健康相关生活质量指标可用于评估牙科治疗效果。
2002年，26名参与者在法国一所大学诊所接受治疗。他们被随机分为两组。每组均接受新的义齿修复，但生活质量评估在不同时期进行[基线期、义齿佩戴时（第1组）、佩戴后6周和12周（第2组）]。通过问卷调查收集患者对旧义齿和新义齿满意度的信息。采用非参数检验来检测患者满意度或基线数据与GOHAI随时间变化之间的关系，以及比较每组内GOHAI的平均值。
在基线期，口腔健康问题的影响较为明显；GOHAI附加分的平均值为45.8（10.2）。新义齿佩戴6周后，GOHAI评分与初始评估相比无差异。参与者佩戴新义齿12周后，GOHAI评分有所改善（p < 0.05）。GOHAI附加分的变化与初始GOHAI附加分呈负相关。更喜欢新义齿的患者GOHAI评分有正向变化（p < 0.001）。患者对新义齿的满意度与GOHAI评分变化之间存在关联（p < 0.05）。
GOHAI可用于评估制作新全口义齿的需求及效果。
