“…In Poland, a study dealing with two General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) and OHIP-14 indexes showed that the Cronbach alpha coefficient value was 0.89 for GOHAI and 0.97 for OHIP-14 [16]. The value of the Cronbach Alpha coefficient is 0.78, in one of numerous studies in Brazil [20]. The validity of the OHIP-14 index was estimated by correlating the OHIP-14 index values and individual characteristics of the respondents.…”

“…Slade had shown that the shorter version has the same reliability and validity as the original version, and due to a smaller number of questions, it is particularly suitable for the research of the quality of life in the elderly [11]. To date, OHIP-14 has been translated into a number of languages and has been found in many countries around the world [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. It is a comprehensive and multi-dimensional index that covers all aspects of physical health to the psychological and social sphere of life.…”

Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) is especially suitable for use in the elderly. The aim of this study is to examine the reliability and validity of OHIP-14 in the Montenegrin population aged 65 and over and to determine the influence of oral health on the quality of their life.

The study covered 170 individuals, both sexes, with an average age of 72.32 ± 6.85. The research instrument is OHIP-14 index. Standard statistical tests were used. The statistical significance level is 0.05. Results The OHIP-14is linguistically and culturally adapted for the Montenegrin population. The value of the Cronbach Alpha Index is 0.892. The relationship between correlations for individual issues and total correlations ranges from 0.21 to 0.69.

“…Общая концентрация протеина, активность альфа-амилазы, а также содержание кальция и фосфата остаются неизменными, в то время как кислотность слюны снижается. Отмечается замедление скорости ее секреции, повышение содержания в ротовой жидкости общего белка, снижение коэффициента «кальций/фосфор», а также увеличение вязкости смешанной слюны [26].…”

The review covering modern concepts of the influence of underactive thyroid on dental health of elderly patients. According to WHO, today about 600 million of population are people over 60 years old. By the beginning of 2021, according to the Federal State Statistics Service estimates, the ratio of people of working age out of total population will increase up to 27 %. High prevalence of dental diseases among elderly population is primarily caused by the fact that both physiological and pathological changes occur in the maxillofacial system with age. Disease of thyroid dominates among endocrine diseases. Elderly people are one of the most difficult to diagnose groups of patients with hypothyroidism. There is enough data on the presence and characteristics of the course of dental diseases in both the elderly and patients with hypothyroidism. However, the features of diseases of the hard tissues of teeth in elderly patients with hypothyroidism are not adequately addressed in the available literature. Thus, this issue requires further study.
