“…This is not surprising, in this age group. Previous studies of older adults highlight the devastating effect of having unrestored missing teeth on quality of life (Anbarserri et al, 2020). In our study, about 12% of the variance of OHIP-14 scores was explained by missing teeth.…”

INTRODUCTION Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) can be described as the evaluation of one's perception of the oral and oro-facial condition and how this perception affects her/his perception of oral symptoms, functional limitations, emotional wellbeing, and social wellbeing. Increasingly, researchers are adapting OHRQoL measures to assess influence of oro-facial conditions on perceived life quality. In particular, orthodontic

“…While posterior missing teeth only impacted function, anterior missing teeth had a much broader impact on patients, not only affecting them in terms of pain and physical disability but also in the psychosocial dimensions. Although the magnitude of the effect of missing teeth was small (<0.2 according to Cohen's guidelines[ 13 ]), these data nevertheless confirm our own and previous studies that unrestored missing teeth have a significant effect on patients' QoL[ 8 9 12 14 ] and suggest that restoration planning should prioritize anterior teeth to optimize QoL outcomes. The prevalence of missing teeth in our population (76%) was high and similar to previous studies reporting similarly high prevalence of missing teeth in other populations (Saudi Arabia and the UK) of between 62.5 and 94.4%.…”

“…While Anbarserri et al . [ 14 ] found that tooth loss significantly affected the functional limitation and social disability domains, which we found were impacted most by posterior and anterior tooth loss, respectively, they did not examine tooth loss position in relation to OHIP-14 subdomains. Similarly, in their meta-analysis of twenty study samples with missing teeth, Schierz et al .…”

“…[ 17 18 ] Similarly, in their recent study of 152 adults attending dental clinics in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Anbarserri et al . [ 14 ] reported that OHIP-14 scores were proportional to the number of teeth lost. Here, we compared complete dentition with tooth loss of one or more teeth, similar to Lawrence et al .,[ 19 ] who similarly found using the OHIP-14 that loss of one or more teeth was significantly associated with OHRQoL after adjusting for sex and “episodic” dental care.…”

Background: Tooth loss is known to have negative effects on both functional and psychological oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), but the impact of the position of the tooth loss (i.e. anterior or posterior) on the different psychosocial dimensions of OHRQoL has yet to be examined. Here, we examined how the position of lost teeth impacts the different dimensions of OHRQoL. Methods: This was a cross-sectional epidemiological study of adults aged 18 years and older attending routine examinations at primary care dental centers in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Demographic information was collected, and OHRQoL was assessed using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) (Arabic form). Differences in total and subdomain OHIP-14 scores between individuals without tooth loss and those with ≥1 anterior or posterior missing teeth were assessed using Student's t-test, and analysis of covariance was used to assess the association between the presence and absence of missing teeth in each compartment and total and subdomain OHIP-14 scores after controlling for age, gender, and income. Results: The overall prevalence of tooth loss was 76%. In multivariate analysis controlling for age, gender, and income as covariates, anterior missing teeth were significantly associated with higher OHIP-14 total, physical pain, physical disability, psychological disability, and social disability scores, accounting for 6%–12% of the score variance. However, posterior missing teeth were only associated with total OHIP-14 and functional limitations domain scores, accounting for 6% and 7% of the variance, respectively. Conclusions: Here, we show for the first time the impact of the location of missing teeth on different OHRQoL dimensions. Anterior tooth loss has a wide-ranging impact on both physical and psychosocial functioning compared to posterior tooth loss, suggesting that anterior tooth restoration should be prioritized when treatment planning. The position of lost teeth must be considered in addition to the number of losses when examining the impact of tooth loss and its treatment on OHRQoL.

“…The authors presented that the severity of impact on OHRQoL increases with the higher number of teeth loss, thereby leading to higher oral impairment. Study participants with more than 10 teeth loss showed the highest OHIP‑14 score indicating greater oral impairment [ 7 ].…”

Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) is a novel concept that has evolved over the past two decades. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also recognized it as a significant part of the Global Oral Health Program (2003). Information on OHRQoL gives better understanding about feelings and perceptions on an individual level. It also helps us to understand the impact of oral health on the lives on the patients and their family. It is now well documented that oral diseases and conditions impact people’s life. Some of the oral diseases/conditions like caries, dental fluorosis, tooth loss, periodontal disease, dental injuries, oral cancer, dental anomalies, craniofacial disorders, and many more have got negative impact on QoL. This paper identifies the various literatures published on the impact of oral diseases and conditions on OHRQoL in the population of Saudi Arabia. Although numerous researches can be found in other countries, the data on Saudi Arabian population are limited, leading to the need for carrying out more research in this area.
