Abstract

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Methadone Therapy Program (MTP) patients receive treatment with antidepressants which work as salivary flow inhibitors that promote xerostomia. Decreased salivary secretion affects several essential aspects of life quality, such as speaking, chewing, and food swallowing. It also increases the risk of rampant caries. This study aimed to analyze correlation of xerostomia in MTP with Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHI-P 14). Methods: Type of research was a cross-sectional design, this study's main independent variable was xerostomia, the dependent variable was OHRQoL, and the confounders were age, gender, education, occupation, caries status, oral hygiene status, history of HIV infection, smoking habits, and alcohol consumption. Data analysis used logistic regression to see the risk factors that influence OHRQoL. Results: Xerostomia is a subjective dry mouth complaint asked through a questionnaire. Of the 26 respondents, 13 (50%) reported dry mouth. Salivary Flow Rate (SFR) measurement showed the result of 13 people was <0.3 (hyposalivation). OHrQOL was measured using OHI-P 14 questionnaire, 12 respondents had good OHRQoL (score > 6.5) and 13 respondents had bad (score ≤6.5). Risk factors associated with OHRQoL were age (p=0.08) and duration of methadone consumption (p=0.06). Conclusion: There is no correlation between xerostomia in MTP with Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHI-P 14). Future research should involve several hospitals that carry out MTP so that the research results are more valid.KEYWORDSmethadone, oral health related quality of life, OHrQOL, OHIP-14,  xerostomia

Abstract

Academic stressors in a medical educational environment are related to two factors. This study was carried out in order to analyze the correlation between the dental environment and perceived stress among dental students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The respondents were 422 undergraduate dental students and the validated Modified Dental Environmental Stress (DES) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) questionnaires were used. Furthermore, the Spearman correlation analysis was used to measure the correlation between DES and PSS score. The result showed that five dental stressors were noted to have the strongest correlations with PSS (p-value >0.40). They include expectation towards dental school (p-value = 0.431), lack of confidence to be a successful dentist (p-value = 0.424), lack of confidence to become a successful dental student (p-value = 0.408), dental school regulations (p-value = 0.401) and criticism of school work (p-value = 0.400). In addition, all six DES categories showed a positive correlation with the PSS. Therefore, the dental students collectively displayed moderate perceived stress scores. The overall discoveries from this study showed a positive correlation between the DES and PSS among dental students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
