Tooth loss has a negative impact on the person's life so this study was done to assess the impact of tooth loss on oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in adult patients seeking dental care in private university dental clinics using Arabic version of 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire in Saudi Arabia.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 152 patients seeking dental care at a private university dental clinics in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia. A structured and close-ended OHIP-14 questionnaire was self-administered by the study participants. Descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, and Spearman's correlation tests were applied to the data.
Patients with categories 1-5, 6-10, and >10 teeth loss showed a mean OHIP-14 scores of 10.51 ± 10.36, 13.46 ± 10.06, and 21.46 ± 14.41, respectively. A statistically significant difference in OHIP-14 score was observed among different categories of tooth loss ( = 0.005). Participants with >10 teeth loss showed significantly higher OHIP-14 score compared with 1-5 and 6-10 teeth loss categories ( < 0.05). Teeth loss significantly affected the functional limitation ( = 0.000) and social disability ( = 0.044) subscales.
Tooth loss adversely affected the OHRQoL among the dental patients. As the severity of teeth lost increased, the OHIP-14 score also increased with higher oral health impairments.
牙齿缺失会对人的生活产生负面影响,因此本研究旨在使用沙特阿拉伯阿拉伯语版的14项口腔健康影响量表(OHIP - 14)问卷,评估在私立大学牙科诊所寻求牙科护理的成年患者中牙齿缺失对口腔健康相关生活质量(OHRQoL)的影响。
在沙特阿拉伯利雅得市的一家私立大学牙科诊所对152名寻求牙科护理的患者进行了一项横断面研究。研究参与者自行填写一份结构化的封闭式OHIP - 14问卷。对数据应用描述性统计、Kruskal - Wallis检验、Mann - Whitney检验和Spearman相关性检验。
牙齿缺失1 - 5颗、6 - 10颗和超过10颗的患者,其OHIP - 14平均得分分别为10.51±10.36、13.46±10.06和21.46±14.41。在不同牙齿缺失类别中,OHIP - 14得分存在统计学显著差异(P = 0.005)。与牙齿缺失1 - 5颗和6 - 10颗的类别相比,牙齿缺失超过10颗的参与者OHIP - 14得分显著更高(P < 0.05)。牙齿缺失对功能限制(P = 0.000)和社会残疾(P = 0.044)子量表有显著影响。
牙齿缺失对牙科患者的OHRQoL有不利影响。随着牙齿缺失严重程度的增加,OHIP - 14得分也随之增加,口腔健康损害程度更高。
