The aim of this study was to investigate the possible association between the short form, 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) and 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) for patients requiring restorative dental work on Implant Assessment Clinic at Guy's Dental Institute.
A total of 216 patients aged 18-83 years old were recruited when attended the Implant Assessment Clinic. Restorative treatment needs were classified as hypodontia, trauma related missing teeth, edentulousness (complete denture wearers) and partially dentate (removable partial denture wearers). The OHIP-14, which assesses the adverse impact of oral conditions on quality of life and GHQ-12, a measure of global distress, were subsequently completed by the patients.
Statistical analyses showed that there is a strong correlation between OHIP-14 and GHQ-12 within all the categories of treatment needs (p<0.0001).
The impact of oral health on the life quality of these patients seeking dental implant treatment was strongly associated with the General Health Questionnaire status.
本研究旨在调查在盖伊牙科研究所种植体评估诊所接受修复性牙科治疗的患者中，14项口腔健康影响程度量表简表（OHIP - 14）与12项一般健康问卷（GHQ - 12）之间可能存在的关联。
共有216名年龄在18至83岁之间的患者在前往种植体评估诊所时被招募。修复治疗需求被分类为牙量不足、与创伤相关的缺牙、无牙（全口义齿佩戴者）和部分牙列缺损（可摘局部义齿佩戴者）。随后，患者完成了评估口腔状况对生活质量不利影响的OHIP - 14以及作为整体痛苦程度衡量指标的GHQ - 12。
统计分析表明，在所有治疗需求类别中，OHIP - 14与GHQ - 12之间存在很强的相关性（p<0.0001）。
口腔健康对这些寻求种植牙治疗患者生活质量的影响与一般健康问卷状况密切相关。
