The purpose of this study was to evaluate oral health related quality of life (OHRQOL) in Turkish adults attending a dental school by using Oral Impacts on Daily Performance (OIDP) inventory.
This study included 1324 patients. A modified questionnaire including sociodemographic information, questions about OHRQOL and OIDP inventory was prepared. The questions consisted of reasons and frequency for dental attendance, self-reported oral health status of the participants and number of natural teeth was recorded.
The rates of participants experienced at least one OIDP impact was 65.2% and eating was the most affected item (41.6%). There was statistically significant difference between number of missing teeth-self reported oral health status, number of missing teeth-sociodemographic factors for the participants who reported at least one OIDP impact.
This study showed that OHRQOL of Turkish adults attending a dental school is affected several factors including sociodemographic factors, regular dental visit and number of missing teeth similarly other societies.
OIDP inventory assesses impacts of oral health conditions that affect daily activities of an individual and is commonly used as OHRQOL indicator. Also, it is important self-report information of patients about changing their oral conditions and affecting daily life for the clinicians. There is insufficient data for OIDP inventory of Turkish dental patients. OHRQOL of Turkish adults was evaluated by using OIDP inventory in this study. The scale was found as a valid and reliable instrument for Turkish dental patients and was determined the relationships between this scale and several parameters.
本研究旨在通过使用日常表现口腔影响（OIDP）量表，评估在牙科学校就诊的土耳其成年人的口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQOL）。
本研究纳入了1324名患者。编制了一份改良问卷，包括社会人口统计学信息、关于OHRQOL的问题以及OIDP量表。记录了就诊原因和频率、参与者自我报告的口腔健康状况以及天然牙数量等问题。
经历至少一次OIDP影响的参与者比例为65.2%，饮食是受影响最大的项目（41.6%）。对于报告至少一次OIDP影响的参与者，缺牙数量与自我报告的口腔健康状况、缺牙数量与社会人口统计学因素之间存在统计学显著差异。
本研究表明，在牙科学校就诊的土耳其成年人的OHRQOL受到包括社会人口统计学因素、定期牙科就诊和缺牙数量等多种因素的影响，与其他社会群体类似。
OIDP量表评估了影响个体日常活动的口腔健康状况的影响，通常用作OHRQOL指标。此外，患者关于改变口腔状况和影响日常生活的自我报告信息对临床医生很重要。关于土耳其牙科患者的OIDP量表的数据不足。本研究通过使用OIDP量表评估了土耳其成年人的OHRQOL。该量表被发现是适用于土耳其牙科患者的有效且可靠的工具，并确定了该量表与几个参数之间的关系。
