| Summary: |
Aim: Oral health-related quality of life (OHQoL) characterizes a person’s perception
of how oral health influences an individual’s life quality. The aim of this study is to
investigate how the treatment modalities may affect the immediate post-operative
quality of life of patients with periodontitis.
Materials and Methods: Sixty psychologically and socio-demographically matched
periodontitis patients were randomly divided into three groups [20 non-surgical (NS),
20 surgical (SG), 20 surgical plus enamel matrix protein derivative (S1EMD)]. The
OHQoL was assessed with two patient-centred outcome measures [Oral Health Impact
Profile-14 (OHIP-14) and General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI)] in the
post-operative period of 1 week.
Results: Whereas there were no differences of OHQoL at the baseline, the patients
treated by surgery had reported that they had experienced a worse OHQoL compared
with the NS and S1EMD groups both in the OHIP-14 and GOHA indexes (p50.001).
Conclusions: The results of this study clearly indicated that patient perceptions on the
immediate post-operative period were significantly better in the NS and S1EMD
groups when compared with the SG group. These findings need to be confirmed in
further studies with larger populations. |
