“…A study in Hudacova in 2010 showed that there exists a relationship between OHIP and a person's income. This was confirmed by a study in Biazevic showing that 71.2% of those with high incomes showed low OHIP scores, suggesting better quality of life than being 39.9% of those with low incomes and poor oral health [21, 22]. The results of this study showed that in rural areas, people have low income with livelihoods as farmers resulting in higher OHIP rates than those in urban areas with a profession dominated by office workers, being self-employed and private employees [14, 21, 22] The quality of life is also influenced by the location or area of origin of the community, therefore, rural and urban areas have differences in the quality of life.…”

In this study, the quality of life associated with oral health showed a worst impact on rural areas represented by Samboja subdistrict compared to those living in urban areas represented by Tenggarong subdistrict due to several aspects such as education, availability of health services, income, livelihoods and age.…”

Background:Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) periphrastically has a significant impact on oral health. A recent study has shown the significant facts of the oral health-related quality of life based on many factors such as individual, social status, household management, daily habits, and local factors. The differences in the oral health status possibly occur in between countries, different regions, and topographical areas frequently and indirectly contributing to oral health status.Objective:The objective is to evaluate the difference of Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) and to assess the main affected dimension between rural and urban areas in Kutai Kartanegara Regency.Methods:This study uses pilot pathfinder design. The respondents comprised of 214 adults who were elder than 18 years and were randomly selected from urban and rural areas in Kutai Kartanegara Regency, Indonesia. The data were collected by 103 samples from the rural area and 111 respondents from the urban area. Oral Health Impacts Profile (OHIP-14) has been translated to Bahasa (Indonesia version). OHIP-14 was used to assess the subjects’ oral health-related impact. Shapiro-Wilk and Mann Whitney tests were used to analyze the data, and p-value was set at P < 0.05.Results:The mean OHIP scores in the urban and the rural areas were 25.4 and 28.8, respectively. The overall OHIP-14 score showed a significant statistical difference P= 0,009 (P < 0.05) between rural and urban area.Conclusion:This study illustrates that oral health-related quality of life in the urban area is better than in the rural area. Physical pain components of the OHRQoL are the major oral problems associated with both the areas.

“…Bearing in mind how important dentition is for general health, it is necessary to take preventive measures and successfully promote Table 2. Oral hygiene practices of the elderly patients and implement prophylaxis (17,18). Among the over 65 examined population, approximately 80% suffered from at least one chronic disease, hearing loss, vision impairment or taste disorders.…”

SUMMARYObjective: The aim of the research was to assess the oral hygiene habits in the elderly group of study population of Southern Poland. Methods: The study was conducted in dental services in two selected cities in Southern Poland. The group of subjects consisted of 664 respondents (272 men, 392 women) aged 65 to 81 years. Oral hygiene was measured with the author's anonymous questionnaire consisting of twenty questions. Questions related to information on personal history and general health, comorbidities, dietary habits, alcohol consumption, smoking, taking drugs and the state of oral hygiene practices as frequency of visits to the dentist and the number of own teeth.Results: The majority of the subjects had higher n = 240 (36.1%) and secondary n = 219 (33%) education and were predominantly n = 590 (89%) professionally inactive (retirees or pensioners). No significant differences were found between the groups: women and men. But there were differences in technologies used, the examined men significantly often used computer in comparison with the women's group. In total, 19.6% had own natural teeth only, 45.0% own teeth and dentures, 30.0% dentures only, and 5.4% neither teeth nor dentures. Majority of subjects brush their teeth or dentures only 1-2 times a day (80%) and visit the dentist less than once in 2 years or once a year (75%). Women significantly more often stated use of a toothbrush and taking care of oral hygiene and compared to men, they declared higher number of own teeth.Conclusion: People aged over 65 neglect hygiene and oral care. Women pay more attention to oral hygiene and they have more own teeth than men. The most frequent cause of oral hygiene neglect in the elderly could be gender, the socio-economic conditions, behaviour habits and lack of sufficient health education. The dentist may need to consult with the patient's GP the development of the appropriate personalised treatment plan for the elderly. Young dentists need to be educated in order to provide appropriate dental care to the elderly.

“…It is obvious that medical practitioners will encounter patients manifesting oral and dental problems in the future. Oral health is an essential component of human health and integrated part of health related quality of life (9,10). Also, regardless of university education, students have their own experience of visiting the dentists and present certain attitudes towards oral health stemming from their families, culture, experience, lifestyle, beliefs, and/or finances (11).…”

SUMMARYAim: The aim of the study was to assess the self-reported oral health behaviour of Scandinavian and Polish medical students studying in Poland. Methods: Three hundred and fifty subjects took part in the questionnaire survey. They were the 4th to 6th year Scandinavian and Polish medical students attending the same medical school. Test-retest reliability demonstrated an accepted level of kappa > 0.50. The questionnaire comprised issues dealing with demographics, dental health behaviour, fluoride tablet recommendation, self-rated oral health, and smoking habit. Statistical analyses were performed using the Fisher-Freeman-Halton test, Fisher's exact test and the multiple logistic regression. A p value < 0.05 was considered significant.Results: Gender and nationality statistical differences were observed regarding the frequency of visiting a dentist: more Polish females visited a dentist less than a year ago (p = 0.011), the reasons for visiting a dentist -check up, filling (p = 0.002; p = 0.040); the frequency of tooth brushing was higher among Polish females compared to Polish males and Scandinavian females (p < 0.001; p < 0.001). Polish males ate sweet snacks significantly more often than Polish females and Scandinavian males (p = 0.018; p = 0.004). In the logistic regression analysis factors were independently associated with visiting a dentist at least once a year: female gender (OR = 2.310; 95% CI 1.381-3.865), Polish nationality (OR = 3.833; 95% CI 2.293-6.408). Associations with the female gender were significant for the following dependent variables: visiting a dentist more than a year ago (OR = 1.913; 95% CI 1.192-3.070), brushing teeth at least once a day (OR = 3.759; 95% CI 1.567-9.017), and use of dental floss (OR = 2.249; 95% CI 1.445-3.503). Polish nationality was associated with an increasing rate of brushing teeth for at least 3 minutes (OR = 2.435; 95% CI 1.526-3.885), and smoking cigarettes (OR = 2.340; 95% CI 1.336-4.098).Conclusions: Better prognosis for maintaining good oral health was established in the Scandinavian group of students. Polish females took greater care of their teeth than Polish males and the majority of their Scandinavian counterparts.
