Abstract

BACKGROUND

The objective of the study was to evaluate changes in the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) during fixed appliance therapy.

METHODS

Sixty-one patients requiring fixed appliance therapy participated in the study. OHRQoL was assessed in all participants using the United Kingdom Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL-UK) tool and the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ), at baseline (T), 1 week (T), 1 month (T), 3 months (T), and 6 months (T), after appliance placement. Friedman 2-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Wilcoxon signed rank tests were used to compare the changes at the P<0.05 significance level.

RESULTS

There was a significant deterioration in OHRQoL in the first week of treatment based on the OHRQoL-UK measure (P=0.01). The PIDAQ, however, showed significant improvement in OHRQoL throughout the study period (P<0.05).

CONCLUSION

Fixed orthodontic appliance therapy can significantly improve the OHRQoL of individuals.

摘要

背景

本研究的目的是评估固定矫治器治疗期间口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）的变化。

方法

61名需要进行固定矫治器治疗的患者参与了本研究。在矫治器放置后的基线（T0）、1周（T1）、1个月（T2）、3个月（T3）和6个月（T4），使用英国口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL-UK）工具和牙科美学心理社会影响问卷（PIDAQ）对所有参与者的OHRQoL进行评估。采用Friedman双向方差分析（ANOVA）和Wilcoxon符号秩检验在P<0.05显著性水平下比较变化情况。
