“…OHIP-14 consists of 14 items organized into 7 theoretical fields (functional limitation, pain, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, social disability and handicap) (32). The OHIP-14 instrument is useful for quantifying levels of impact on well-being in a setting where only a limited number of questions can be used.…”

SUMMARYObjective: The purpose of this study was to assess the oral health-related quality of life in Czech population. Methods: Data were collected from 1,380 subjects aged 30 to 69 years attending the Department of Dentistry, Medical Faculty of Charles University in Hradec Králové or attending three private dental practitioners collaborating on the study. Oral health-related quality of life was measured with the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire that was translated to Czech. The OHIP-14 scores were assessed in relation to chosen clinical and sociodemographic characteristics and oral health behaviour. Statistical analyses included descriptive analyses, the Mann-Whitney test, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the Kruskal-Wallis test using the NCSS 2007 program. The χ 2 test of independence in contingency tables or Fisher's exact test was used for qualitative data.Results: Internal reliability for the 14 items overall was very high (Cronbach's α = 0.924). The two most frequently scored items using the answer other than "never" during the last year were "painful aching" (62% of subjects) and "uncomfortable to eat" (44.4%), representing subdomain physical pain. The domain of social disability was reported least frequently. The OHIP-14 was significantly associated with dental status, dental behaviour, income and age.Conclusions: The findings of this study do suggest that the culturally adapted OHIP-14 version may be a good research instrument to be considered for use in measuring the impact of oral problems on the quality of life in Czech population.Key words: quality of life, oral health, oral health impact profile, oral health-related quality of life, questionnaire inquiry

“…Studies have demonstrated the impact of oral health conditions on physical and psychosocial dimensions (John et al, 2004;Locker & Allen, 2007;Settineri, Rizzo, Liotta, & Mento, 2014), while there is a lack of scientific evidence about the link between OHRQoL and emotions. The majority of existing studies have focused exclusively on the relationship with dental anxiety (Kurer, Watts, Weinman, & Gower, 1995;McGrath & Bedi, 2004) and/or depression (MarquesVidal & Milagre, 2006).…”

The effects of oral health conditions on physical and psychosocial dimensions have been a matter of interest for several authors over the last decades. Nevertheless, literature lacks studies that address the relationship between the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and emotions. The present study aimed to investigate the psychological impact of oral disorders on people's emotional well-being, with a particular attention to gender and age differences. Two hundred twenty-nine dental patients in care at private dental clinics were individually tested. One hundred thirty of them were females (56.8%) and 99 males (43.2%), aged between 18 and 83 years (M = 38.11; SD = 16.7). For the evaluation, the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) were used. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlations, the ANOVA, and the Kruskal-Wallis test. OHRQoL showed several correlations with all the emotions explored, overcoming the wellknown relationship with anxiety and depression (p < .05). The degree of OHRQoL produced differences on mood states, which could appear normal, moderately altered, or psychopathological (p < .03). Furthermore, in different life stages, patients showed specific OHRQoL and emotions.

“…The differences between the questionnaires designed for this purpose relate to the number of questions, the question content, the answer format, the grouping of topics in different domains, and the number of domains. 32 Most studies that investigate the subjective perception of edentulous patients before and after IMO rehabilitation evaluate OHRQoL based on one questionnaire (e.g., DIDL, GOHAI, or OHIP-EDENT). Consequently, the limitations and differences in sensitivity across various domains of each questionnaire with respect to the others remain unknown.…”

Short-term quality of life change perceived by patients after transition to mandibular overdentures Abstract: The aim of this longitudinal observational study was to evaluate the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) following patient rehabilitation with implant-retained mandibular overdentures (IMO) and to identify the contribution of the different domains to OHRQoL. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-EDENT), Dental Impact on Daily Living (DIDL), and Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) questionnaires were completed twice by 25 patients: after 3 months of rehabilitation with complete dentures (CD) and after 3 months of IMO loading using stud abutments. The evaluation after IMO rehabilitation showed significant improvement in three DIDL domains: appearance (p = 0.011), eating and chewing (p = 0.003), and general performance (p = 0.003). The GOHAI results showed significant differences in two domains: psychosocial (p = 0.005) and pain and discomfort (p = 0.0004). The OHIP-EDENT outcomes showed significant improvements in five domains: functional limitation (p = 0.0001), physical pain (p = 0.0002), physical disability (p = 0.0010), and psychological disability and handicap (p = 0.032). The largest observed effect sizes were close to one standard deviation and were observed in the eating and chewing domain (0.93) of the DIDL; the pain and discomfort domain (0.83) of the GOHAI, and the functional limitation (0.89), physical pain (1.02), physical disability (0.84) domains of the OHIP-EDENT. The percentage of satisfied patients increased in all domains. Self-reported OHRQoL of CD wearers was significantly improved after 3 months of treatment with IMO, especially concerning the functional and pain-related aspects.
