“…The high variability suggested that patient’s expectations were not fully identified, probably because personality traits related to the OHRQoL were not taken into account when treatment options were decided. Takeshita et al (2015) showed that the evaluation of patients’ personality traits would lead to a more adapted therapeutic approach. However, this approach would be difficult to implement as these require personality tests that can only be performed and analyzed by persons specialized in psychology.…”

BackgroundThe renewal of removable dentures is often suggested to denture wearers subject to discomfort. However, the impact of this rehabilitation on patients’ oral health related quality of life and their removable dentures related satisfaction is still unknown. This study was aimed at assessing these patient-centered outcomes and the potential impact of different factors.MethodsA cohort of 116 patients in need of removable dental prostheses rehabilitation was recruited at a dental hospital over a period of 1 year. The subjects were separated into two groups according to their prosthesis experience (group in need of removable dentures renewal/group needing an removable dentures for the first time). Subjects were asked to answer the “Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index” (GOHAI) and the “McGill Denture Satisfaction Instrument” before and after a prosthesis integration period (9–12 weeks).ResultsGOHAI scores were slightly higher for patients with removable dentures renewal (from 40.6 ± 10.3 to 47.1 ± 10.0, p < 0.001), independently of the type of prosthetic rehabilitation. However, the scores of the GOHAI functional field did not change. Subjects with no removable dentures experience presented an increase in their functional GOHAI score (p < 0.001). Regarding patient removable dentures related satisfaction, only the “Esthetic” (p < 0.001), “Chewing efficiency” (p < 0.001) and “Oral condition” (p < 0.01) items increased after prosthesis renewal.ConclusionsThis study showed that renewing removable dentures only moderately improved the oral health related quality of life and removable dentures related satisfaction of patients, regardless of age, gender or type of rehabilitation. Other tasks are necessary such as the analysis of physiological parameters and qualitative research on patient’s expectations.

“…Takeshita et al discovered that personality traits are associated with OHRQoL in elderly people. They found that neuroticism was negatively associated with OHRQoL, and extraversion was positively associated with OHRQoL in community‐dwelling Japanese elderly people . Mahmoud et al showed the possibility of influence of neuroticism on OHRQoL.…”

“…Although the mechanism remains unknown, the relationship between muscular strength and cardiovascular mortality is likely robust. In the present study, taste sensitivity was lower in the dependently living group even when compared with the limited individuals who showed nearly the same number of teeth and maximal occlusal force, implying that taste dysfunction is also related to a general decline in health status in a similar manner, with an underlying background in common with the relationship *This group was selected from participants living independently who showed nearly the same number of teeth (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) and maximal occlusal force (lower than 100 N) as participants in the dependent living group.

“…A total of 43 elderly individuals (mean age 82Á3 AE 8Á5 years) considered to be cognitively eligible and residing in two different nursing homes in Osaka Prefecture, Japan, were enrolled. In addition, data obtained from 949 independently living elderly individuals (mean age 79Á9 AE 0Á8 years) in the SONIC study conducted by our research group (7) were used to compare with the dependently living group. In addition, 48 subjects were selected from the group of independent living individuals who participated in the SONIC study and showed nearly the same number of teeth (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) and maximal occlusal force (lower than 100 N) as the participants residing in nursing homes.…”

Due to the rapid rise of aged populations throughout the world, it is essential to elucidate the cause of taste dysfunction, because it may reduce appetite, leading to inadequate dietary intake. We aimed to compare taste detection ability between dependently and independently living geriatric individuals of nearly the same age with oral status. Forty-three elderly individuals considered to be cognitively eligible and residing in nursing homes in Japan were enrolled (n = 43, 82·3 ± 8·5 years) and were compared with an independently living elderly group (n = 949, 79·9 ± 0·8 years), aiming to compare taste detection ability between dependently and independently living elders of nearly the same age. Information regarding comorbidity and medication was obtained as general health status, and oral status including number of present teeth, denture usage and maximal occlusal force was also noted. In the dependently living group, 69·4%, 14·3%, 16·3% and 8·2% of participants could detect sweet, sour, salty and bitter tastes, respectively, which was significantly lower than the independently living group for each taste (97·9%, 70·8%, 89·6% and 43·8% for sweet, sour, salty and bitter tastes, respectively). The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that residing in nursing homes was associated with reduced sensitivity for four different tastes. The diseases and the situation of dependent elders were more likely the cause of the decreased taste sensitivity.
