“…This outcome was described in three types of vulnerable individuals. In the elderly, one third of the subjects examined showed a reduced quality of life due to oral health problems such as pain, difficulty chewing or swallowing and psychological and/or relational discomfort due to the condition of their teeth (28% [95% CI 19–38]; 16,672 participants, 11 studies, I 2 = 99.3%) [ 45 , 111 , 116 , 125 , 132 , 140 , 184 , 185 , 186 , 187 , 188 ], while the prevalence of this outcome in immigrants was 55% ([95% CI 21–87%]; 709 participants, three studies, I 2 = 99.3%) [ 52 , 189 , 190 ]. Finally, in the only comparative study carried out, subjects living in rural areas compared to those in urban areas presented a worse quality of life related to dental or periodontal disorders measured with a specific scale called the Oral Health Impact Profile—14-item questionnaire (11.49 SD 9.733 vs. 5.88 SD 5.588, p < 0.001; 100 participants) [ 191 ].…”

“…Por isso, devido ao seu aspecto subjetivo, frequentemente, muitos indivíduos estão satisfeitos com a sua saúde bucal, ainda que os aspectos clínicos apontem uma saúde bucal precária, com presença de necessidades de tratamento odontológico urgente e reabilitações. Assim como percebido no presente estudo, em diversos outros trabalhos 6,10,12,22,37 houve uma discrepância entre as condições de saúde bucal avaliadas por profissionais e a satisfação dos idosos com a sua própria saúde.…”

“…Outro aspecto importante a ser considerado na autopercepção de idosos acerca da sua saúde bucal é a falta de priorização das necessidades orais. Os indivíduos que se encontram em situações socioeconômicas desfavorecidas, que talvez não possuam as suas necessidades básicas satisfeitas em diversas áreas da vida, podem não incluir a saúde bucal como uma de suas prioridades 6,[34][35][36]38 . Muitos idosos são resignados com a sua situação bucal precária.…”
