This study aims to evaluate the status of periodontitis patients and changes in their quality of life (QoL) after non-surgical and surgical periodontal treatment using OHIP-14, OHRQoL-UK questionnaires, and VAS.
Of the 50 periodontitis patients included in the study, 27 received only non-surgical treatment. The remaining 23 individuals received additional surgical treatment because full recovery was not achieved with non-surgical periodontal treatment. OHIP-14, OHRQoL-UK questionnaires, and VAS were administered to these patients before periodontal treatment and after (4th and 12th weeks) to assess QoL measurements.
OHRQoL-UK results found that there was a statistically significant increase in the 3rd month (T2) values after the flap operation compared to the initial session (T0) (p < 0.05). Compared to non-surgical periodontal treatment (T1) with T2, the difference was not statistically significant except in the pain/discomfort category (p > 0.05). Although the results of the OHIP-14 questionnaire at T1 and T2 showed a significant difference compared to T0 values (p < 0.05), no significant difference was found between T1 and T2 (p > 0.05). An increase in some values was observed in VAS results compared to T0, but it was not significant (p > 0.05).
VAS, OHIP-14, and OHRQoL-UK questionnaires have shown that periodontal treatment improves the QoL of patients with periodontitis.

本研究旨在使用OHIP - 14、OHRQoL - UK问卷和视觉模拟评分法（VAS）评估牙周炎患者的状况以及非手术和手术牙周治疗后其生活质量（QoL）的变化。
在纳入研究的50例牙周炎患者中，27例仅接受非手术治疗。其余23例患者因非手术牙周治疗未完全康复而接受了额外的手术治疗。在牙周治疗前以及治疗后（第4周和第12周）对这些患者进行OHIP - 14、OHRQoL - UK问卷和VAS评估，以测量生活质量。
OHRQoL - UK结果显示，与初始阶段（T0）相比，翻瓣手术后第3个月（T2）的值有统计学显著增加（p < 0.05）。与非手术牙周治疗（T1）和T2相比，除疼痛/不适类别外，差异无统计学意义（p > 0.05）。尽管OHIP - 14问卷在T1和T2时的结果与T0值相比有显著差异（p < 0.05），但T1和T2之间未发现显著差异（p > 0.05）。与T0相比，VAS结果中某些值有所增加，但不显著（p > 0.05）。
VAS、OHIP - 14和OHRQoL - UK问卷表明，牙周治疗可改善牙周炎患者的生活质量。
