This study investigated the relationship between oral health related quality of life and hyposalivation and dry mouth in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) undergoing hemodialysis.

This descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 200 patients with CRF undergoing hemodialysis attending the dialysis department in Sari Imam Khomeini Hospital, 2021. Patients completed oral health-related quality of life questionnaires (OHIP-14) with additive and simple count assessment methods. To diagnose dry mouth, unstimulated saliva was collected and patients were asked nine questions, of which five positive answers indicated dry mouth. Data analysis was done in SPSS V18. Pearson's or Spearman's correlation coefficient were applied to investigate the association between quality of life score and unstimulated salivary flow, and t-test or Mann-Whitney test were used to compare the quality of life scores between the groups with and without dry mouth.

Hyposalivation was observed in 66 patients (33%). The OHIP-14 score was significantly higher in both additive and simple count methods in patients with dry mouth and hyposalivation (P<0.05). Comparing different variables, the findings showed that 66.7% of the patients with hyposalivation were older than 58 years of age (P=0.007). In addition, 60.6% of patients with dry mouth had diabetes (P=0.01).

Dry mouth and hyposalivation reduce the quality of life in patients with CRF undergoing hemodialysis. Also, dry mouth and hyposalivation were relatively common problems in these patients. The treatment of these problems is necessary because of their impact on patients' quality of life.

Few studies were conducted on the effectiveness of clear aligners. The present study aimed to compare the quality of life related to oral health, patient satisfaction, and the level of anxiety caused by treatment in patients treated with fixed orthodontics and clear aligners.

This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 100 patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment six months from the start of their treatment and 100 patients undergoing treatment with clear aligners six months from the start of their treatment. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire was used to compare the effect of these two treatments on the quality of life related to the oral health of these patients. Additionally, Patient Satisfaction (PSQ-18) questionnaire was used to check patients’ satisfaction and State Trait Anxiety Inventory was used to assess patients’ anxiety status.

The patients included 78 (38. 8%) males and 122 (61.2%) females. The average quality of life related to oral health was 53.26 with a range of 19 to 69, the average patient satisfaction was 42. 46, with a range of 14 to 50, and the mean and standard deviation of anxiety caused by treatment was 72. 26 ± 13. 93 with a range of 37 to 99. The average anxiety caused by the treatment in the transparent aligners group was significantly higher than the fixed orthodontic group (P<0.001). The average quality of life related to oral health in the transparent aligners group questionnaire was significantly lower than the fixed orthodontic group (P<0.001).

The findings of this study showed that the level of anxiety of clear aligners recipients is higher, and their quality of life is lower.

Asthma is a prevalent disease that affects oral health-related quality of life (OHQoL). There is no study on this issue in Iran, so this study investigated the OHQoL in asthmatic patients.

In this descriptive analytical study, 54 asthmatic patients in Sari Tuba Medical Center were examined. They were selected by convenience sampling. The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) was administered and Ramfjord teeth were selected to examine the OHI-S index. Data analysis was done applying descriptive statistics and Kolmogorov Smirnov test in SPSS V25.

The mean age of patients was 38.05±12.57 and 75.9% were women. The mean scores for OHIP-14 and OHI-S were 2.40±1.14. The highest score in the quality of life questionnaire was related to physical discomfort (1.17±0.96). There were no significant differences between gender, DI, and CI in OHQoL (P=0.893), and OHI-S and OHQoL (P=0.690).

In current study, no relationship was found between oral health of asthma patients and the OHQoL, but dentists are recommended to consider the impact of oral problems on patients' quality of life in addition to professional measures.

Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most common chronic inflammatory diseases of the joints that has many effects on oral health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) and oral health indicators in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and healthy subjects.

A case-control study was carried out in Sari Tooba Clinic, 2018-2019. Data of all participants (case group, n=24 and control group, n=24), including demographic data, smoke consumption, and wearing removable dentures were recorded and all participants responded to nine questions about oral dryness and other systemic diseases. The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) was used and patients were clinically examined. DMFT was calculated and plaque, gingival, and sulcus bleeding indices were determined on Ramfjord teeth. The flow rate of non-stimulated saliva was investigated using a weight estimation method. Quantitative variables were compared between the case group and control group applying independent T-test or its non-parametric equivalent (Mann-Whitney).

There were two men (8.3%) and 22 women (91.7%) in each group. The mean ages in the case and control groups were 45.62 ± 11.29 and 45.58 ± 10.57 years. The age and gender distribution was not significantly different between the two groups. The mean DMFT, plaque, gingival, and sulcus bleeding indices and non-stimulatory saliva flow rate were higher in case group than the control group, but only the plaque index in the case group (5.62±2.63) was significantly different from the control group (4±2.44) (P=0.026). GI, PI and SBI were found to be significantly associated with oral health-related QOL (P<0.05).

Examination, diagnosis, and treatment of oral health indicators is effective in improving the QOL in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Considering the fact that insufficient study has been done on the effect of malocclusion on the quality of life and confidence among Iranian children and the high prevalence of malocclusion in the Iranian population, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of malocclusion on Oral Health Related Quality of life(OHRQoL) in children aged 8-11 in Tabriz in 2020.

Five hundred children aged 8-11 participated in this study. Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) was used to assess the participants’ malocclusion. Furthermore, the participants answered a standardized questionnaire namely child perception questionnaire to determine their social and emotional well-being in relation to the malocclusion.   Clinical examinations were performed by the same researcher. One way Anova with LSD follow up tests under SPSS18 software for Windows 10 were utilized for analysis of data. P< 0.05 were considered significant. 

The study sample consisted of two groups of 216 boys and 284 girls. The results showed that malocclusion had a statistically significant effect on quality of life related to oral health and emotional health of children.(Pvalue<0.05).  However, malocclusion did not affect the social health of these children.(p value>0.05)

In the present study, the effect of malocclusion on Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) in children aged 8-11 in Tabriz in 2020 was assessed. The results of this study showed malocclusion and its severity has a significant effect on quality of life.  It also had an effect on a person's emotional health, but no significant relationship was found between a person's social health and malocclusion.  Therefore, in general, it seems that malocclusion had a significant effect on the quality of life and emotional health of individuals, but the social health of children is not affected by malocclusion.

AFP (Atypical Facial Pain) is indicated as a pain sensation of oral mucosa without any visable mucosal lesions during clinical examination. The aim of this study was to evaluate of oral health related quality of life among patients with Atipical Facial pain,referred to Zahedan dental school and compare it with healthy people.

This cross-sectional study was performed on 48 AFP patients at Zahedan dental school and 96 healthy people. collection method was General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) questionnaire and demographic data. questionaire included 12 questions about oral health-related quality of life with 5 options.the data was analysed in spss software.

In case group 31.9% (15 people) of the patients were men and 68.1% (32 people) were women, and in control group 36.1% (35 people) of the patients were men and 63.9% (62 people) were women. the mean score of GOHAI in patients was 27.85±10.68 and in control group was 45.49±6.84 which indicators that the mean of oral health related quality of life between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.001).

The results of this study showed that oral health-related quality of life in AFP patients is weaker than healthy people wich indicates that need for care to maintain of oral health of individuals who are Atipical Facial Pain.

Some studies have shown that loss of teeth and conventional complete dentures have a negative effect on oral health-related quality of life of patients; some other studies have reported high satisfaction with daily life in these patients. Since the results of studies in this regard are contradictory and on the other hand, in Iran only few studies have evaluated this issue, in this study, the quality of life of denture-treated patients was studied in Hamadan Dental School in 2016-2018. Materials &

The participants of this study were selected from patients referring to Hamadan Dental School in 2016-2018. Demographic and clinical data were recorded, and oral health-related quality of life was evaluated by the OHIP-14 standard questionnaire before denture delivery and one month after denture delivery and compared. Data were analyzed with SPSS 21, using descriptive statistics and statistical tests such as t-test, paired t-test, one-way ANOVA and Wilcoxon sign-test (α = 0.05).

The OHIP scores decreased significantly after the delivery of dentures in the all participants (p value = 0.008). This decrease was significant in women, but not significant in men.

In general, the use of complete dentures improved the oral health-related quality of life in the subjects. This improvement is related to aspects such as pronunciation, diet and embarrassment due to the general appearance.

Background & aim:

Considering the increasing trend of elderly population in recent years and the fact that oral health is an integral part of general health, this study aimed to assess the oral health status and its related quality of life among elderly people living in hospices under support of Ardabil’s welfare organization.

In this descriptive-correlational study, 144 elderly people over 60 years old, living in hospices, were included in the study. A questionnaire was used for data collection with three parts: Demographic form, World Health Organization (WHO) Oral Health Assessment Form, and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14Per). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, one sample T-test, ANOVA and linear regression in SPSS version 24.

The results of one-sample T-test showed that the elderly in Ardabil have an inappropriate status in all aspects of oral health-related quality of life (p<0.05). In addition, regression analysis found a significant relationship between oral health status and oral health-related quality of life in elderly people (p<0.05).

The results of this study showed that the elderly people living in hospices under the supervision of Ardabil’s welfare organization are in a poor status regarding oral health and oral health-related quality of life. Therefore, it is necessary for healthcare providers to pay more attention to this group regarding their oral health and quality of life.
