Periodontal Health and Its Impact on Quality of Life among Type II Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Abstract

Introduction Diabetes mellitus is one of the key public health issues worldwide. Diabetes mellitus and its related oral manifestations, particularly in the form of poor periodontal health, has impact on physical health along with emotional and psychosocial consequences. The current study was done to assess periodontal health and its impact of on the quality of life among type II diabetics. Materials and methods A total of 138 diabetic subjects (test group) and 128 nondiabetic subjects (control group) were included in the study. Periodontal parameters, such as plaque index, gingival index, and community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN) index were recorded. Oral health impact profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire was used to evaluate effect of periodontal health on quality of life. Results Plaque index and gingival index scores were greater among test group, but were not statistically significant. The CPITN score was statistically significant when compared with control and test groups. When the mean of OHIP-14 scores was compared among two groups, five of the seven subdimensions were statistically significant. A statistically significant difference was found when overall total OHIP score was compared among control and test groups. Conclusion Overall oral health and observed oral healthrelated quality of life were lower among diabetic subjects in comparison with nondiabetics. Periodontal health was poorer and needs more attention among diabetic patients. How to cite this article Nayak SU, Kamath DG, Pai KK.

The effect of diabetes mellitus on oral health-related quality of life: A systematic review and meta-analysis study

“…The present study systematically reviewed the evidence on the impact of diabetes mellitus on oral health-related quality of life and Related variables affecting OHRQoL. Our meta-analysis of three case-control studies (16,19,34) revealed no statistically significant association between diabetes mellitus and OHRQoL. Also, in 5 cross-sectional studies, no association was observed between diabetes and OHRQoL (20,(30)(31)(32)35), while three cross-sectional studies indicated the effect of diabetes mellitus on OHRQoL (17,18,33).…”

“…Therefore, the relationship between oral and dental health and its possible consequences on quality of life is undeniable. Additionally, some original studies considered diabetes as a factor that may affect oral healthrelated quality of life (OHRQoL) (16)(17)(18)(19)(20). On that account, OHRQoL attracts dental practitioners' and researchers' attention toward itself.…”

Impacto da doença periodontal na qualidade de vida: uma revisão integrativa

“…Os resultados mostram que a doença periodontal causa um impacto negativo na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde oral (Al-Kattan et al, 2019;Ansari Moghadam et al, 2015;El Tantawi & AlAgl, 2017;Eltas et al, 2016;Fuller et al;Geevarghese et al, 2017;Goel & Baral, 2017;Göktürk & Uçan Yarkaç, 2018;He et al, 2018;Holde et al, 2018;Irani et al, 2015;Karaaslan & Dikilitas, 2019;Levin, Zini, Levine, Weiss, Lev, Taub, et al, 2018;Levin, Zini, Levine, Weiss, Lev, Hai, et al, 2018;Liang et al, 2020;Llanos et al, 2018;Maia et al, 2018;Masood et al, 2019;Meusel et al, 2015;Musurlieva & Stoykova, 2015;Nayak et al, 2017;Oliveira et al, 2020;Passos-Soares et al, 2018;Rebelo et al, 2016;Rekhi et al, 2016;Schmalz et al, 2018;Ustaoglu et al, 2019;Wellapuli & Ekanayake, 2016;Wright et al, 2017;Yaacob et al, 2019;Yadav et al, 2019). Além disso, a doença foi associada a uma diminuição na qualidade do sono (Karaaslan & Dikilitas, 2019), e quanto mais severa era a destruição periodontal, pior era a qualidade de vida (Fuller et al;Göktürk & Uçan Yarkaç, 2018;He et al, 2018;Karaaslan & Dikilitas, 2019;Levin, Zini, Levine, Weiss, Lev, Hai, et al, 2018;…”

“…Os estudos também encontraram resultados com alto impacto na qualidade de vida nos seguintes grupos: fumantes, ausência de seguro de saúde, obesos e diabéticos, grávidas, ansiosos, idosos, pacientes com doença renal terminal, cárie, hipertensão arterial (El Tantawi & AlAgl, 2017;Freitas, 2015;Geevarghese et al, 2017;Holde et al, 2018;Irani et al, 2015;Levin, Zini, Levine, Weiss, Lev, Taub, et al, 2018;Levin, Zini, Levine, Weiss, Lev, Hai, et al, 2018;Liang et al, 2020;Nayak et al, 2017;Oliveira et al, 2020;Passos-Soares et al, 2018;Rebelo et al, 2016;Rekhi et al, 2016;Wright et al, 2017) Entretanto, alguns estudos não encontraram relações significativas entre a doença e a qualidade de vida ou obtiveram baixo impacto (Andrade et al, 2019;Freitas, 2015;Kato et al, 2018;Lu et al, 2015).…”
