“…We identified 21 studies that reported positive associations between at least one individual‐level measure of social capital (or related concepts) and better oral health outcomes among adults. Outcomes included number of remaining teeth, edentulism, dental visits, and denture status among older people , dental caries , self‐rated oral health , oral health‐related quality of life , periodontal disease , and dental pain .…”

In the last two decades, there has been increasing application of the concept of social capital in various fields of public health, including oral health. However, social capital is a contested concept with debates on its definition, measurement, and application. This study provides an overview of the concept of social capital, highlights the various pathways linking social capital to health, and discusses the potential implication of this concept for health policy. An extensive and diverse international literature has examined the relationship between social capital and a range of general health outcomes across the life course. A more limited but expanding literature has also demonstrated the potential influence of social capital on oral health. Much of the evidence in relation to oral health is limited by methodological shortcomings mainly related to the measurement of social capital, cross-sectional study designs, and inadequate controls for confounding factors. Further research using stronger methodological designs should explore the role of social capital in oral health and assess its potential application in the development of oral health improvement interventions.

“…Currently, some internally psychological constructs have been given increasing attention in research on the potential resources of OHRQoL with the rise of positive psychology [ 17 , 20 , 21 ]. General self-efficacy refers to a relatively stable belief in personal competence to deal with various stressful situations effectively [ 22 ].…”

BackgroundAlthough initial periodontal therapy can ease some physical and psychological discomforts from periodontitis and improve patients’ oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), it is also vital to find positive resources from psychological and social aspects to promote the overall OHRQoL. This study aims to explore the associations of perceived social support (PSS) and general self-efficacy with OHRQoL and the mediating role of general self-efficacy in PSS-OHRQoL association after initial periodontal therapy.MethodsA prospective case series study was conducted among consecutive outpatients with chronic periodontitis during the period of July 2014–April 2015. A total of 145 eligible patients responded to OHRQoL questionnaire and periodontal examination at baseline. About 4 to 5 weeks after initial periodontal therapy, 120 patients completed the second OHRQoL measurement and periodontal examination, along with PSS and general self-efficacy measurement. The Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test was used to determine the difference between baseline and post-treatment OHRQoL scores and periodontal parameters. Hierarchical linear regression analysis was used to explore the associations of PSS and general self-efficacy with post-treatment OHRQoL after adjusting for some demographic and periodontal variables. Asymptotic and resampling strategies were performed to explore the mediating role of general self-efficacy.ResultsInitial periodontal therapy resulted in a significant improvement in the mean total score and all domains of OHRQoL and all periodontal parameters measured. In hierarchical linear regression analysis, clinical attachment loss (CAL) was significantly and positively associated with post-treatment OHRQoL score (β = 0.265, p < 0.01), while PSS (β = −0.303, p < 0.01) and general self-efficacy (β = −0.221, p < 0.01) were significantly and negatively associated with post-treatment OHRQL score, respectively. A significant mediating role of general self-efficacy (a*b = −0.139, BCa 95 % CI: −0.298, −0.011) in the association between PSS and post-treatment OHRQoL was revealed, and the proportion of the mediating role of general self-efficacy was 31.4 %.ConclusionsInitial periodontal therapy could significantly improve all aspects of OHRQoL. PSS and general self-efficacy could be the positive resources for improving OHRQoL after initial periodontal therapy among patients with periodontitis. General self-efficacy partly mediated the association between PSS and post-treatment OHRQoL.

“…En adolecentes, según el estudio realizado por Mashoto, la historia de caries alteraría la calidad de vida debido al dolor dental y a la dificultad para comer y lavarse los dientes (20) . En adultos, Gomes determina que los niveles de COPD están directamente relacionados a niveles de impacto físico, psicológico y social en el desempeño diario de los individuos (23) y Brennan concluye que altos niveles de optimismo están relacionados con la disminución del impacto de problemas dentales y menor pérdida de piezas dentarias (10) . Hasta el momento, todos los estudios utilizan instrumentos validados de CVRSO que no son específicos para caries dental, por otro lado, a mayor edad de los individuos tendrán mayor cantidad de patologías orales simultáneas por lo que discriminar cual de todas éstas es la que está causando mayor detrimento de la calidad de vida representa una dificultad.…”

“…Con respecto al diseño de estos, 4 eran estudios transversales (9,20,23,25) y 2 de casos y controles (10,15) . 3 de los estudios estaban enfocados a la población pediátrica entre 4 y 5 años de edad (9,15,25) , un estudio a adolescentes con un promedio de edad de 13.8 años (20) y dos estudios de población adulta (10,23) . En todos se encuentra asociación entre caries dental y CVRSO, aunque para ello se utilizaron instrumentos de medición de CVRSO que no son específicos para esta patología tales como ECOHIS (9,15) , OHIP (10) , Child-OIDP (20) , OIDP (23) y P-CPQ (25) .…”

RESUMENObjetivo: Determinar, mediante una revisión de literatura publicada, la existencia de estudios enfocados en la relación entre historia de caries y calidad de vida relacionada a salud oral (CVRSO) utilizando instrumentos validados. Material y Método: Artículo de revisión bibliográfica de literatura publicada los últimos diez años usando la base de datos MEDLINE. Dos revisores independientes recopilaron y analizaron los artículos en dos etapas: En una primera etapa fueron seleccionados aquellos artículos en que en su resumen relacionaran historia de caries y calidad de vida utilizando un instrumento de medición validado, excluyendo todos aquellos en que los individuos tuvieran alguna patología base que por si misma afecta su calidad de vida y artículos de validación. En una segunda etapa fue analizado el texto completo de los artículos previamente seleccionados, se aceptaron estudios experimentales y observacionales, se excluyeron artículos de revisión. Los desacuerdos fueron resueltos por consenso. Resultados: De un total de 311 artículos, 12 artículos relacionaban enfermedades orales y calidad de vida relacionada a salud oral siendo "historia de caries" uno más de los parámetros medidos y 6 artículos tenían como objetivo relacionar directamente "historia de caries" y "calidad de vida", en estos últimos las dimensiones más afectadas fueron: dolor dental, comer-masticar alimentos, lavarse los dientes y sonreír. Rev. Clin. Periodoncia Implantol. Rehabil. Oral Vol. 6(1); 42-46, 2013.Palabras clave: Calidad de vida, caries dental, salud oral. ABSTRACTAim: To determine, through a review of published literature, the existence of studies focused on the relationship between history of decay and quality of life related to oral health (QOLROH), using validated instruments. Material and Method: Literature review of reports published in the last ten years using the MEDLINE database. Two reviewers independently assessed and analyzed articles in two stages: In the first stage the articles whose abstract related dental caries and quality of life using a validated measurement instrument were selected, excluding those in which individuals had a systemic pathology affecting itself their quality of life, and excluding articles of validation. In a second stage the full text of the previously selected articles was analyzed, experimental and observational studies were accepted and review articles were excluded. Disagreements were resolved by consensus. Results: Out of a total of 311 articles, 12 articles connected oral diseases and quality of life related to oral health, being "history of decay" one more of the measured parameters and only 6 articles related directly "history of decay" and "quality of life". In the latter the most affected dimensions were: Dental pain, eat-chew food, brushing your teeth and smile. Rev. Clin. Periodoncia Implantol. Rehabil.
