Oral health‐related quality of life and periodontal status

Abstract

This study demonstrates a significant association between oral health-related QoL and periodontal disease.

Periodontitis and health‐related quality of life in hemodialysis patients

“…Previous studies have demonstrated that poor oral health status had negative impacts on HRQoL (Naito et al, 2010; Ng & Leung, 2006; Sandberg & Wikblad, 2003; Zhou et al, 2011), and findings from the current study agree with these results. People with periodontitis are at increased risk of oral pain and tooth loss, which leads to limited oral function such as eating, swallowing, and speaking (Furuta & Yamashita, 2013).…”

“…Previous studies reported that oral diseases were significantly associated with health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) among patients attending private dental offices (Naito et al, 2010), community‐based older individuals (Wang, Chou, & Yu, 2013; Ng & Leung, 2006), or individuals with diseases related to oral health, such as diabetes (Sandberg & Wikblad, 2003) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (Zhou, Wang, Song, Zhang, & Wang, 2011). However, the impact of periodontitis on general HRQoL among dialysis patients has not yet been fully investigated.…”

Oral Health - Related Quality of Life of Periodontal Patients in a Syrian Sample - A Pilot Study

“…Health-related QoL measures, including objective and subjective assessments, are especially useful for evaluating efforts to prevent disabling chronic diseases and assessing their effectiveness [12]. Assessing the consequences of impaired oral health from the patient's perspective has emerged as an important research area [13].…”
