“…Apparently, regardless of the presence or absence of teeth, patients could achieve similar masticatory performance by adjusting their diet in accordance with the factors previously exposed. 14,15 This dimension was one of those that had the least impact on quality of life, contrary to what was published by Padilla-Sanchez et al, 16 for whom functional limitation was one of the most affected dimensions, which could be due in part to the fact that in this study the participants were elderly patients with an mean age of 50 years, susceptible to having a lower adaptive capacity than younger patients. Furthermore, it is believed that it would be of interest to further study how "age" affects each dimension, since it was not considered in the objectives of this study.…”

Main Objective: To compare, through the OHIP-7Sp, the impact on the quality of life of partially edentulous patients, according to WHO criteria “with functional dentition”, 21 or more teeth and “without functional dentition”, less than 21 teeth. Material and Methods: 97 partially edentulous patients were selected between 35 and 75 years old, ASA I or II with ≤ 28 teeth remaining. Were divided in two groups, non-functional dentition (NFD) n=47 and functional dentition (FD) n=50. OHIP-7Sp survey was applied to each patient to measure the impact on quality of life in the seven dimensions considered in this survey. The scale of measurement ranges from 0 to 4, in which 0 is "never" and 4 "always", with a maximum value of 28, considering the instrument in its entirety. Highest score indicates a greater impact on quality of life. For comparison of both groups, the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test was used with a level of 95% significance. Results: Concerning all patients evaluated through the OHIP-7Sp, the mean age was 53 years. There were significant differences in the total OHIP-7Sp score, with a mean and median for the NFD group of 9.53 and 9 and for the FD group 5.02 and 5, respectively. Disaggregating the analysis, significant differences emerged in dimensions 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (p<0.05). Conclusion: There was a significantly greater impact on the quality of life, measured with the OHIP-7Sp, in the NFD group compared to the FD group.

“…The dentist also assessed the number of remaining teeth and classified the occlusal support areas using the Eichner index. Based on the differences in chewing ability, the patients were divided into three groups (Eichner A1, A2‐B3, and B4‐C3) 14 . In addition, information regarding the frequency of brushing and the presence of a dry mouth was elicited.…”

AimsTo determine the Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT) critical score in palliative care patients and the optimal timing for predicting mortality using time‐dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.Methods and ResultsA retrospective observational study was conducted on 176 patients treated by the palliative care team of our medical center between April 2017 and March 2020. Oral health was assessed using the OHAT. Prediction accuracy was evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC) analysis, sensitivity, and specificity, using time‐dependent ROC curves. Overall survival (OS) was compared using Kaplan‐Meier curves with the log‐rank test; hazard ratios (HRs) adjusted for covariates were calculated using a Cox proportional hazard model. A OHAT score of 6 was shown to best predict 21‐day OS (AUC 0.681, sensitivity 42.2%, specificity 80.0%). The median OS was significantly shorter in patients with total OHAT scores ≥6 than in patients with scores < 6 (21 days vs. 43 days, p = .017). For individual OHAT items, the unhealthy status of the lips and tongue was associated with decreased OS (HR = 1.91; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.19–3.05 and adjusted HR = 1.48; 95% CI, 1.00–2.20).ConclusionPredicting disease prognosis based on patient oral health can enable clinicians to provide timely treatment.

Tooth loss is a common problem among older adults that affects masticatory function (MF) and food selection. Financial burden is a reason that some older adults in Taiwan with this condition forgo dental restoration. To identify the number of posterior occlusal support areas (POSAs) associated with MF. Large-scale cross-sectional study included 1100 community-dwelling participants of Taiwan aged ≥65 years.Participants completed dental examination and questionnaires through personal interviews. Masticatory performance was evaluated using a colour-changeable chewing gum. Masticatory ability was evaluated on the basis of how many of 14 common How to cite this article: Lin Y-C, Du J-K, Lin P-C, et al.Association between the dental occlusion and perceived ability to eat foods of Taiwanese older adults.
