Abstract

Purpose: Aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between soft and hard tissue oral findings of complete denture wearers and their oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL).
Methods: In the study, 200 patients treated with complete dentures were included in the study. The OHIP-14 scale was applied to the patients and oral findings were recorded after clinical and radiographic examination. Analyzes were performed in IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 (IBM Corp. NY). (p<0.05)
Results: Oral findings were found in 67% of 200 edentulous patients participating in this study. There was a significant difference between oral findings and OHRQoL (p=0.00). While there was a significant difference between age and OHRQoL (p=0.00), no significant difference was found with gender (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference bone undercuts (p=0.00), traumatic ulcerations (p=0.00) between patient with oral findings and patients without oral findings groups according to the OHIP-14. The resorbed crests were significant only in the physical pain subgroup (p=0.01).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, oral mucosal findings adversely affect OHRQoL. Therefore, dissatisfied patients should undertake a comprehensive clinical and radiographic examination after insertion.

Tam Protez Kullanan Hastalarda Oral Bulguların Yaşam Kalitesine Etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, geleneksel tam protez kullanan hastaların yumuşak ve sert doku ağız bulguları ile ağız sağlığı ile ilişkili yaşam kaliteleri (OHRQoL) arasındaki ilişkileri incelemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 200 tam protez ile tedavi edilen hasta dahil edildi. Hastalara OHIP-14 ölçeği uygulandı ve oral bulgular klinik ve radyografik muayene sonucu kaydedildi. Analizler IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 (IBM Corp. NY) programında yapıldı. (p<0,05)
Bulgular: Bu çalışmaya katılan 200 dişsiz hastanın %67'sinde oral bulgular görüldü. Oral bulgular ile OHRQoL arasında anlamlı fark bulundu (p=0.00). Yaş ile OHRQoL arasında anlamlı fark bulunurken (p=0.00), cinsiyet ile anlamlı fark bulunmadı (p>0.05). Ayrıca, kemik andırkatları (p=0.00), travmatik ülserasyonlar (p=0.00) ile OHRQoL arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark vardı. Kret rezorbsiyonu bulgusu yalnızca fiziksel ağrı alt grubunda anlamlıydı (p=0.01).
Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre oral bulgular ağız sağlığı ile ilişkili yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu nedenle, protezlerinden memnun olmayan hastalar protez teslimi sonrasında kapsamlı bir klinik ve radyografik muayeneden geçirilmelidir.
