“…Previous studies have been undertaken which demonstrate this (5), however no clear links between increasing severity of tooth wear and decreased quality of life have been identified. This would suggest that other psycho-social factors such as general psychological well-being and personality traits may have an influence on how patients perceive the effect of tooth wear on their quality of life (6). The effect of these factors may help to explain why different patients presenting with similar levels of tooth wear, may report markedly differing effects upon their daily quality of life.…”

Aim: To investigate the relationship between generic and condition specific (CS) quality of life (QoL), general psychological wellbeing and personality in patients with tooth wear. Materials and Methods: Ethical approval was granted (REC:10/H0709/21). Patients 18-70 years with tooth wear completed the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP) quality of life questionnaire, the NEO-FFI Personality questionnaire, and the General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ). Tooth wear was measured with the Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE).Results: 102 subjects were recruited. Increased BEWE scores were correlated with older age, and worse generic, and CS related QoL. Increased Neuroticism was correlated to increased generic and CS-OIDP scores; generic and CS eating scores; CS smiling score and CS carrying out major work scores. Increased GHQ scores were positively correlated with increased generic and CS-OIDP scores; generic and CS-eating scores; CS-speaking scores; generic and CScleaning scores; generic relaxing scores, generic and CS-smiling scores and generic emotional state score (p=<0.05). Multivariable linear regression analyses showed thatincreasedNeuroticism and decreased GHQ both had an independent effect on generic and CS-OIDP scores when adjusted for tooth wear severity (p<0.05). Conclusion: Quality of life perception is complex, and was not only affected by worsening levels of tooth wear.
