“…The median OHIP score was found to be reduced after the treatment in both scenarios which is similar to our study. Similar results were also observed for the non-invasive type of treatment in a study conducted by Wahbi and Elamin [ 13 ]. A study by Nikolovska and Petrovski also presented a statistically significant difference in the total OHIP score prior to and after a prosthodontic treatment with full dentures [ 14 ].…”

Objective: It is crucial to understand how individuals perceive the impact of oral disorders and the treatment associated with or received for those disorders on their quality of life. A relatively new but quickly spreading concept of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) that notably affects three fields, clinical dental practice, dental research, and dental education makes it feasible to figure out the relationship between oral health and its impact on the quality of life of an individual. OHRQoL can be measured in various ways; the most well-liked method uses a multiple-item questionnaire. There haven't been any prior attempts to compare the effects of various invasive and non-invasive dental therapies on OHRQoL, even though few studies have been conducted to evaluate the OHRQoL among patients undergoing independent dental procedures. Such a comparison would aid in our understanding of not only how various dental conditions affect OHRQoL, but also whether or not a patient’s OHRQoL has improved as a result of various therapies for these diseases. Method: A longitudinal study was conducted on patients receiving invasive and non-invasive dental treatment at Teerthanker Mahaveer Dental College and Research Centre, Moradabad. A two-part questionnaire, the first part of which consists of questions related to the demographic details of the patient and the second part consisting of a set of 14 questions of the oral health impact profile (OHIP)-14 for assessing the OHRQoL, was used in the study. Patients' baseline OHRQoL was assessed before the commencement of any treatment by the interview method and follow-up OHRQoL was assessed three days, seven days, one month, and six months post-treatment telephonically. The OHIP-14 contains 14 items on the frequency of adverse impacts caused by oral conditions and the patients were asked to rate each item on a 5-point Likert scale as 0=never; 1=hardly ever; 2=occasionally; 3=fairly often; 4=very often. Results: The results obtained after compiling and analyzing the data from a total sample of 400 indicate that the mean difference in the OHIP score at different time intervals between the groups who undertook invasive and non-invasive treatment was significant as the p-value was less than 0.05. In addition, it was observed that the mean difference at baseline was statistically significant in the invasive and non-invasive groups as the p-value is less than 0.05. At the domain level, the mean score at each domain was higher in the invasive group as compared to the non-invasive treatment group after three days and seven days of treatment. The mean difference between the group treated with invasive treatment on day three and the group treated with non-invasive treatment on day seven was statistically significant as the p-value is less than 0.05. The mean score was high in the invasive group as compared to the non-invasive group after one month and six months of treatment. Conclusion: The present study was conducted to assess dental treatme...

Aims and Objectives:The aims of this study were to determine oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among elderly people aged 65 and above years from Hafar Al-Batin area, Saudi Arabia, by utilizing Arabic version of Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI-Ar).Materials and Methods:This was a cross-sectional study undertaken from October 2017 to December 2017. A convenience sampling methodology was employed to select the elderly patients aged ≥65 years attending dental clinics of primary health-care centers in five different regions of the Hafar Al-Batin, Saudi Arabia. OHRQoL of the participants was measured using the Saudi Arabian version of GOHAI-Ar. The oral examinations performed to record a total number of remaining natural teeth, complete and removable partial dentures, and fixed partial dentures. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed.Results:A total of 200 elderly participants (M = 157 and F = 43) having mean age (± standard error [SE]) was 69.26 (±0.34) years, participated in the study. Mean ± SE of GOHAI-Ar was 27.68 ± 0.54, physical function 9.12 ± 0.26, pain and discomfort (6.87 ± 0.18), and psychological discomfort (11.69 ± 0.25). Remaining natural teeth and prosthodontic status significantly correlated with pain and discomfort. The presence of prosthesis was found to influence the psychological function. Gender and prosthodontic statuses were found to have significant correlation with OHRQoL.Conclusion:Poor OHRQoL among elderly from Hafar Al-Batin city was found, and presence dental prosthesis showed a positive impact on OHRQoL.

“…Functional restoration of chewing activities treated by denture wearing has been evaluated from various viewpoints, such as chewing ability [1,2], chewing movements and muscle activities [1][2][3][4], food choice and nutrition [5][6][7], and oral and physical quality of life [6,8,9]. Nevertheless, the effects of denture wearing on the coordinated features of jaw and neck muscles remain unclear in partially edentulous patients, though those muscle activities have been simultaneously examined in healthy dentate subjects during chewing [10][11][12][13], jaw clenching [11,14,15], and opening and closing jaw movements [16,17].…”

Effects of denture wearing on coordinated features of jaw and neck muscle activities during chewing in partially edentulous elderly patients

This study was performed to examine how denture wearing improves jaw and neck muscle coordination during chewing in partially edentulous elderly patients. Methods: Sixteen patients classified as Eichner's index B2 or B3 and 16 young dentate subjects were enrolled. Jaw and neck muscle activities during chewing were recorded using electromyography with and without denture wearing, then analyzed using intermuscular Electromyography (EMG)-EMG transfer and EMG-EMG coherence function analyses to clarify quantitative, temporal, and functional coordination of jaw and neck muscle activities while chewing. Occlusal force and masticatory scores were also determined. Results: Denture wearing increased the power values for jaw closing muscle activities, and improved occlusal area and force, and masticatory score. Gain values for jaw closing and opening muscle activities were decreased in those wearing dentures compared to those not wearing dentures. Denture wearing resulted in equivalent gain values for jaw closing and opening muscle activities as compared to the young subjects. Coherence values for chewing and non-chewing side neck muscle activities were increased as compared to not denture wearing. Conclusions: The suitability of denture wearing can be evaluated from the viewpoint of gain as a quantitative parameter showing coordination between jaw closing and opening muscle activities. Such evaluation can be performed from the viewpoint of coherence as a parameter of functional coordination between jaw and neck muscle activities during chewing in partially edentulous elderly patients. The gain parameter in regard to jaw muscle activities may be compensated to a state equivalent to that seen in young subjects by wearing an appropriate denture.
