Background Inadequate sleep increases inflammatory and proinflammatory markers among many other influences. Due to its potential to influence inflammation and oxidative stress, which are the main pathogenetic mechanisms actually recognized in the periodontal damage, poor sleep quality could be a factor for periodontitis and quality of life (QoL). In this context, the aim of this study is to investigate the association of stage‐grade of periodontitis with sleep quality. and the effect of periodontitis on QoL. Methods The study consisted of clinical examination and a questionnaire. The questionnaire was based on demographic information, Oral Health Impact Profile‐14 (OHIP‐14), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Patients were diagnosed according to the 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri‐Implant Diseases and Conditions. Clinical examination included probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment loss (AL). Results The mean age of 99 participants was 30.27 ± 5.80 years ranging from 18 to 40‐years. The mean clinical values of the patients in this study included AL, 4.03 ± 2.46 mm, and PD, 4.27 ± 1.55 mm. The mean of the global OHIP‐14 score was 13.43 ± 6.23 and the mean PSQI global score was 6.57 ± 3.53. Conclusions Stage‐grade of periodontitis was associated with short sleep duration, low‐sleep quality, and low oral health‒related quality of life.

“…Our results are consistent with other studies using OHIP‐14 in patients with chronic periodontitis. Physical pain was the most prevalent reported impact in a study recently conducted in China and another in Sri Lanka . Looking at a study performed in Germany, “functional limitation” was the most frequent domain reporting impairment .…”

Background To assess oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) after long‐term (20 years) periodontal treatment in patients with chronic periodontitis (ChP) and to compare it with the current clinical outcome and oral health status. Methods Twenty years after therapy, 63 patients were reexamined. The dental and periodontal status and OHRQoL using the Oral Health Impact Profile‐G49 (OHIP‐G49) were assessed. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and tests for differences were calculated. Results Up to 75% of patients showed no probing depths > 5mm, bleeding on probing (BOP) ≤25%, no pain and satisfactory function. A comparatively low perceived oral impact of ChP was represented by an OHIP‐G49 overall score of 18.89 ± 21.66. The most common reported impairment was physical pain followed by “functional limitation.” A correlation between oral quality standard and the OHIP‐G49 was limited to the physical pain subdomain. Conclusions Satisfaction with oral status was perceived high by most patients treated for chronic periodontitis. A comparably high OHRQoL can be achieved and retained long‐term after periodontal treatment. The objective and subjective evaluation of oral health only correlated in the subscale “physical pain.”
