The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of periodontitis on oral health-related quality of life (OHQoL) using Oral-Dental Health-Related Quality of Life-United Kingdom (OHRQoL-UK) scale and evaluate the contributing factors.
50 patients with untreated periodontitis and 50 individuals without periodontitis were enrolled in the study. All subjects received detailed periodontal examination. Plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) measurements were examined. OHRQoL was assessed by the Oral Health Quality of Life-United Kingdom (OHRQoL-UK) scale. Symptoms of periodontitis were monitored by visual analogue scale (VAS). Socio-demographic characteristics, medical history, smoking status, hygiene habits of the participants were recorded. This study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT04240014.
Total OHRQoL-UK scores were 38.24±6.47 in periodontitis patients and 55.88±9.38 in non-periodontitis individuals (p < 0.001). The scores of all 4 parameters were significantly lower in patients with periodontitis compared to healthy individuals (p <0.001). Higher PI, GI, PD and CAL values were associated with extensive negative impacts of periodontitis on OHRQoL (p < 0.001). According to the results of linear regression analysis, only periodontitis was found to associate with OHRQoL. Periodontal disease reduces the total quality of life score by 15.087 (ß= -15.087; 95% CI = [(-18.934)-(-11.240)].
Individuals with periodontitis has diminished OHRQoL compared to healthy individuals.
本研究旨在使用英国口腔健康相关生活质量量表（OHRQoL-UK）评估牙周炎对口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）的影响，并探讨其影响因素。
纳入 50 例未经治疗的牙周炎患者和 50 例无牙周炎患者。所有患者均接受详细的牙周检查，检测菌斑指数（PI）、牙龈指数（GI）、探诊深度（PD）和临床附着水平（CAL）。采用英国口腔健康相关生活质量量表（OHRQoL-UK）评估 OHRQoL。采用视觉模拟量表（VAS）监测牙周炎症状。记录患者的社会人口学特征、病史、吸烟状况和口腔卫生习惯。本研究在 ClinicalTrials.gov 注册，编号为 NCT04240014。
牙周炎患者的 OHRQoL-UK 总分为 38.24±6.47，无牙周炎患者的 OHRQoL-UK 总分为 55.88±9.38（p<0.001）。与健康人群相比，牙周炎患者的所有 4 项参数评分均显著降低（p<0.001）。PI、GI、PD 和 CAL 值越高，牙周炎对 OHRQoL 的负面影响越大（p<0.001）。线性回归分析结果显示，仅牙周炎与 OHRQoL 相关。牙周病使总生活质量评分降低 15.087（ß= -15.087；95% CI = [(-18.934)-(-11.240)]）。
与健康人群相比，牙周炎患者的 OHRQoL 降低。
