“…Females were 1.7 times more likely to perceive their own gingival condition correctly than men. In agreement with previous reports, they tended to be more objective in their overall oral health self-perception and self-reported gingival bleeding [42,43]. This could be attributed to the fact that females have more interest in their body appearance and exhibit better oral health knowledge and positive dental behavior than males [48,49].…”

“…Few data are available in the current literature on self-awareness of oral health status, and most information relies on selected groups [9,42,43]. The present study included a representative sample of dentate adults living in a city in Northern Italy who answered questions for periodontal symptoms in terms of gingival bleeding, oral malodor, and tooth mobility and underwent a full-mouth clinical examination.…”

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to explore sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical factors associated with self-awareness of periodontal health. Data were collected from a representative sample of 736 adults (25-75 years old) in a city of Northern Italy who self-assessed gingival bleeding, oral malodor, and tooth mobility in a questionnaire and who underwent clinical periodontal examination and organoleptic evaluation. Approximately 50% of the subjects were aware of their actual gingival health status and oral odor. The logistic regression analysis revealed that females presented higher odds of correctly perceiving their gingival conditions and mouth odor, while those who were older and smokers had a greater probability of being less objective in reporting them. Tooth type and position in the dental arches were positively associated with self-perception of tooth mobility. These findings reflected a low level of self-awareness that may influence oral care-seeking behavior. Subjects may be unconcerned about their periodontal health condition or lack enough knowledge to be aware of it. This points to the need for planning strategies to improve education and knowledge about periodontal health, which, by enhancing self-perception of periodontal symptoms, could help everyone to seek treatment in the initial stage of the disease. population and individual level [8]. In larger populations, a combination of demographic measures and self-reported oral health questions (self-perceived assessment) has demonstrated promising validity in predicting periodontitis for planning public health programs, especially when clinical assessment is unattainable [9][10][11][12]. In individuals, clinical and self-reported measures of periodontal disease have been reported to demonstrate significant disparity [13,14].A recent contribution provided evidence of low sensitivity (disease perception), but high specificity (health perception) values for self-reported bleeding gums [13,14] and low to moderate sensitivity and specificity for oral malodor [15][16][17][18], while little is known about self-perceived tooth mobility [15,16,19,20]. In contrast, people demonstrated the ability to refer to their own dental history, number of remaining teeth, previous experience of restorations, presence of prostheses, and screening of urgent dental care [6,9,[21][22][23][24].Several studies have shown that self-perception of oral health varies among social groups and age cohorts [13,25,26], although these findings have not been corroborated in other studies [27,28]. Most of the available information is derived from older participants, especially community dwelling or institutionalized individuals [29][30][31], while representative samples of adult populations were seldom involved, and none of them assessed predictors of gingival health and oral odor self-awareness [5,10,32]. Self-awareness of periodontal health status influences oral health-seeking behavior and is related to the utilization of dental services for early detection and prevention...

“…There are a few important limitations to consider as well. Although self-reported oral health is an acceptable proxy for periodontal disease at the population level and for epidemiological surveys, it may not be of adequate agreement to clinical measures of disease (39). Previous studies have shown that self-reported oral health information is highly specific but not as sensitive (41).…”

“…As self-reported oral health is a multi-faceted measure for overall oral condition, which includes social, psychosocial, economic and cultural components of oral health, it presents as a convenient and effective measure for inferring diabetes complication risk (38). Notably, studies have found that self-reported oral health status is concordant with the clinical need for oral treatment (39,40). The retrospective selection of our cohort and longitudinal follow-up also presents as a significant strength.…”

BackgroundPeriodontitis has persistently been associated with diabetes and poor health outcomes. While clear associations have been identified for the diabetes-oral health link, less is known about the implications of poor oral health on incident complications of diabetes. This study sought to investigate the risk of diabetes complications associated with self-reported "poor to fair" and "good to excellent" oral health status among diabetics living in Ontario, Canada. MethodsThis cohort study was undertaken of diabetics from the Canadian Community Health Survey (2003 and 2007-8). Self-reported oral health was linked to electronic health records at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences. Participants under the age of 40, missing self-reported oral health and those who could not be identified in linked databases were excluded (N=5,183).A series of Cox Proportional hazard models were constructed to determine the risk of diabetes complications. Participants who did not experience any diabetes complication were censored at time of death or at the study termination date (March 31, 2016). Models were adjusted for age and sex, followed by social characteristics and behavioural factors. ResultsDiabetes complications differed by self-reported oral health. For those reporting "poor to fair" oral health, the hazard of a diabetes complication was 30% greater (HR 1.29 95%CI 1.03, 1.61) than those reporting "good to excellent" oral health. ConclusionsOur findings indicate that oral health status is associated with increased risk for complications among diabetics, after adjusting for a wide range of confounders. Examining oral health and the risk for diabetes complications from a broader perspective including socio-behavioural and biological pathways is principal for informing policies and interventions that aim to mitigate the burdens of poor systemic health.

The retrospective selection of our cohort and longitudinal follow-up also presents as a significant strength because the reporting of oral health status preceded the diabetes complications, thus temporality was demonstrated.…”

Background Periodontitis has been associated with diabetes and poor health. While clear associations have been identified for the diabetes-oral health link, less is known about the implications of poor oral health status for incident complications of diabetes. This study investigated the risk of diabetes complications associated with self-reported "poor to fair" and "good to excellent" oral health among diabetics living in Ontario, Canada. Methods This was a cohort study of diabetics who took part in the Canadian Community Health Survey (2003 and 2007-08). Self-reported oral health was linked to electronic health records held at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences. Participants aged 40 years and over, who self-reported oral health status in linked databases were included (N = 5,183). Cox proportional hazard models were constructed to determine the risk of diabetes complications. Participants who did not experience any complications were censored. Models were adjusted for age and sex, followed by social characteristics and behavioural factors. The population attributable risk of diabetes complications was calculated using fully adjusted hazard ratios. Results Diabetes complications differed by self-reported oral health; 35% of the total sample experienced a complication and 34% of those reporting "good to excellent" oral health (n = 4090) experienced a complication in comparison to 38% of those with "fair to poor" oral health (n = 1093). For those reporting "poor to fair" oral health, the hazard of a diabetes complication was 30% greater (HR 1.29; 95% CI: 1.03, 1.61) than those reporting "good to excellent" oral health. The population level risk of complications attributable to oral health was 5.2% (95% CI: 0.67, 8.74).
