Impact of dentine hypersensitivity on oral health‐related quality of life in individuals receiving supportive periodontal care

Abstract

Dentine hypersensitivity affects OHRQoL in patients undergoing SPC. The extent of impact was associated with severity of DH.

Responsiveness to change of the Malay‐ECOHIS following treatment of early childhood caries under general anaesthesia

“…The MID is considered the smallest difference in scores that is considered important from both the clinician's and patient's point of view . In this study, the MID value for total Malay‐ECOHIS is 7‐point change, while for the CIS and FIS, it is 5‐point change and 2‐point change, respectively.…”

Moderate‐ to long‐term therapeutic outcomes of treated aggressive periodontitis patients without regular supportive care

“…For subjects with <20 standing teeth and those with ≥20 teeth at re‐examination, ES and the systemic error of measurement were calculated to estimate the MID for OHIP‐14S scores using a distribution‐based approached . The ES is expressed as a ratio and interpreted through benchmark values of small (0.2), moderate (0.5) and large (0.8) effect…”

“…AgP had been shown to affect oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) . The outcomes of periodontal disease and its treatment such as tooth loss and dentine hypersensitivity have been shown to impact OHRQoL even after treatment completion. OHRQoL assessments at re‐examination may give an insight into how periodontal conditions of patients with AgP affect their orally related daily lives long after therapy.…”

Self‐assembling peptide matrix for treatment of dentin hypersensitivity: A randomized controlled clinical trial

“…Dentin hypersensitivity has a negative effect on patients’ quality of life; they change eating behavior and adjust their oral hygiene measures to avoid pain stimulation and, thus, are at increased risk of other dental problems, i.e., periodontitis and caries . Reliable, fast pain relief of DHS is rarely reported, and most at‐home treatments are general oral care products such as toothpastes or mouthrinses …”
