Abstract

Tooth loss is considered a major end-point sequela of preventable oral diseases. In Malaysia, tooth mortality is a common oral health problem. Objective: To assess the impact of tooth loss, preferences for tooth replacement, and the relationship between impact of tooth loss and number of missing teeth. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional survey involved 244 patients attending a primary health center and dental clinic at a public university. The respondents completed self-administered questionnaires on personal background, tooth replacement status, impact of tooth loss using a 12-item modified Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI), and preferences for tooth replacement. A dental examination was performed to determine the number of missing teeth. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 56.2 years (standard deviation [SD], 8.1 years). The mean number of missing teeth was 8.3; 62.7% of patients had at least 20 natural teeth. The majority were not wearing a dental prosthesis. The mean GOHAI score was 16.3. Of the patients, 66.0% experienced some food biting difficulty, 59.4% worried about oral health, and 57.8% experienced eating discomfort. Dental implants were the most preferred replacement option (38.9%). The GOHAI scores were not related to the number of missing teeth. Conclusion: Tooth loss and use of dental prostheses had some impact on quality of life, although the impact was not high.

Abstract

Background: Despite being a common problem, long-term disability following stroke often improves after survivors receive regular rehabilitative therapy. This study aimed to assess the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of stroke survivors who had access to a community-based rehabilitation centre after hospital discharge. Methods: Dentate post-stroke patients receiving regular rehabilitative care with slight to moderate dependency (Barthel Index >70) and without severe cognitive impairment were involved in this study. The OHRQoL parameters were measured using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) and EuroQol five dimensions (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaires. Results: Thirty one patients were recruited in this study. Majority of the patients hardly ever or never had problems in all functional, physical, psychological and social domains, including eating discomfort and having to avoid eating, difficulty in chewing food and presumably having bad breath (58.1%, 61.3% and 71.0% respectively). Other than gender, age, ethnicity, co-morbidities and oral hygiene practices, education level was the only variable found to significantly affect patients’ OHRQoL (p = 0.028). Most of the patients had no or slight problem(s) in self-care (87.1%) and carrying out usual activities (57.1%), pain/discomfort (3.2%) and anxiety/depression (6.5%). Conclusion: Stroke survivors under regular rehabilitative care perceived have good oral health-related quality of life.

Abstract

Background: A survey to identify factors affecting the cooperation of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Indonesia is crucial for enhancing this group’s dental care, oral health, and overall quality of life. However, limited culturally relevant instruments hinder such research. Purpose: This study aims to determine the essential domain needed to design a questionnaire instrument that can predict the cooperativity of children with ASD during dental procedures. Methods: Based on the literature and existing questionnaires, the newly developed questionnaire underwent forward–back translation, before being thoroughly reviewed by an expert committee. The response format, content, and question clarity were evaluated. A cross-sectional study with 30 parents of children with ASD was randomly conducted to test the questionnaire. The validity of each question was measured by the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, while its reliability was assessed by Cronbach’s alpha. Results: Each question within the domain showed varying degrees of validity: reading ability (r = 0.658), daily communication (r = 0.541), involvement in social activity (r = 0.360), daily self-care ability (r = 0.506), emotional status (r = 0.426), sensory responsiveness (r = 0.615), language comprehension (r = 0.362), and permission to be touched on the head at a barbershop (r = 0.458). The questions were found to be reliable (Cronbach’s alpha, r = 0.645 > 0.306). Conclusion: As prediction tools for assessing the cooperativity of children with ASD during dental procedures, the questionnaire should include the following items: communication and reading abilities, daily self-care, social activity, emotional status, sensory responsiveness and permission to be touched on the head at a barbershop.
