Abstract

Objectives

Individuals with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) are at a higher risk of developing dental problems. The present study assessed the dental impact on daily performances among AUD patients seeking treatment in a de-addiction centre and correlated it with their clinical dental status using the WHO oral health assessment form (2013).

Materials and methods

This research took place from January to May 2022. A cross-sectional study was carried out to collect data from 103 subjects among alcohol dependents taking treatment in a de-addiction centre of Dakshina Kannada district, Karnataka state. The Dental Impact on Daily Living Questionnaire (DIDL) assessed patients' satisfaction with their teeth, while the WHO Oral Health Assessment Form for Adults was used for dental caries (DMFT) and periodontal status. Data analysis was performed using the jamovi open-source software (version 2.3), employing t-test, chi-square test, hierarchical regression analysis, and Spearman correlation coefficient.

Results

The study found low yet significant correlations between clinical oral health and dimensions of the DIDL scale. Social class and the number of decayed teeth emerged as significant predictors of the total DIDL score.

Conclusion

Oral health conditions can adversely affect patient satisfaction, emphasizing the need for healthcare providers to consider these findings when offering comprehensive oral healthcare services.

Clinical relevance

This study underscores the necessity of integrating oral healthcare into the overall treatment regime for individuals with Alcohol Use Disorders (AUDs) to improve their quality of life and satisfaction.

牙科对酒精使用障碍患者日常生活和口腔健康的影响

目的酒精使用障碍（AUD）患者出现牙科问题的风险较高。本研究使用世界卫生组织口腔健康评估表（2013 年）评估了在戒毒中心接受治疗的酒精依赖症患者的牙齿对日常表现的影响，并将其与临床牙齿状况联系起来。在卡纳塔克邦达克希纳卡纳达区的一家戒瘾中心，对 103 名接受治疗的酒精依赖者进行了横断面研究，收集了他们的数据。牙科对日常生活的影响问卷 (DIDL) 用于评估患者对其牙齿的满意度，而世界卫生组织成人口腔健康评估表则用于评估龋齿 (DMFT) 和牙周状况。数据分析使用 jamovi 开放源码软件（2.3 版），采用 t 检验、卡方检验、层次回归分析和 Spearman 相关系数。结论口腔健康状况会对患者的满意度产生不利影响，强调医疗服务提供者在提供全面的口腔医疗服务时需要考虑这些发现。临床相关性这项研究强调了将口腔医疗纳入酒精使用障碍（AUDs）患者的整体治疗体系以提高其生活质量和满意度的必要性。
