Abstract

Aim : The aim of the present study was to measure dental anxiety levels and oral health-related qualities of life (OHRQoL) in patients with periodontitis compared to healthy controls and to analyze their association with various demographic, clinical and periodontal parameters. Methods : Fifty-five patients with periodontitis and 56 healthy controls were enrolled. Collected data included demographics, smoking habits, numerical rating scale (NRS), Corah’s Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) and Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14), DMFT index (Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth), Plaque Index (PI), probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP), and radiographic bone loss. Results : Periodontitis patients exhibited statistically significant higher scores in the total DAS and in almost of single DAS domains. Compared to the control group, periodontitis patients exhibited worse OHIP-14 global as well as in all individual OHIP-14 domains scores. Among both periodontitis and control patients, the physical pain domain was where the highest impact was recorded, while the lowest impact was recorded in the functional limitation domain. Conclusion : Periodontitis patients were positively associated with higher levels of dental anxiety and worse OHRQoL. Self-perception of dental anxiety and OHRQoL should be regarded as an integral element in routine diagnostic work-up process of periodontal diseases. This study showed that for a nationally representative sample of the southern Italian population population, periodontal disease was significantly associated with the domains of OHRQoL.

牙周炎对全身焦虑和口腔健康生活质量的影响

目的：本研究的目的是测量牙周炎患者与健康对照组相比的牙齿焦虑水平和口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL），并分析它们与各种人口统计学、临床和牙周参数的关系。方法：选择55例牙周炎患者和56例健康对照组。收集的数据包括人口统计数据、吸烟习惯、数字评定量表（NRS）、科拉牙科焦虑量表（DAS）和口腔健康影响档案-14（OHIP-14）、DMFT指数（蛀牙、缺失牙和填充牙）、牙菌斑指数（PI）、探查深度（PD）、探查出血（BOP）和放射学骨丢失。结果：牙周炎患者在总DAS和几乎单个DAS域中表现出统计学上显著较高的得分。与对照组相比，牙周炎患者表现出更差的OHIP-14整体评分以及所有个体OHIP-14结构域评分。在牙周炎和对照组患者中，身体疼痛区域的影响最高，而功能限制区域的影响最低。结论：牙周炎患者的牙齿焦虑水平较高，OHRQoL水平较差。牙科焦虑和OHRQoL的自我感知应被视为牙周病常规诊断检查过程中的一个组成部分。这项研究表明，对于意大利南部人口的全国代表性样本，牙周病与OHRQoL的结构域显著相关。
