Background and Aims: Periodontal diseases are prevalent and are not only a threat to oral and dental health of patients and community, but also affect the quality of life associated with oral health. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the effects of non-surgical periodontal therapy on the quality of life associated with oral health in patients with periodontitis and gingivitis.
Materials and Methods: 47 patients with gingivitis and moderate to severe chronic periodontitis referred to the periodontology department of Yazd Dental School in 2019 were studied. OHIP-14 validated questionnaire was used to assess the quality of life related to oral health. At the beginning of the study, both groups completed the questionnaire. Then scaling and root planning for periodontitis group and scaling for gingivitis group were done. Patients completed the questionnaires again 9-12 weeks after periodontal treatment. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 22 using independent T-test, Chi-square, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests.
Results: The mean score of quality of life in patients with gingivitis was 19.18±11.68 before the treatment and 13.26 ±11.41 after treatment. The mean score of quality of life in patients with periodontitis was 23.29±9.80 before treatment and 13.95±9.68 after treatment. All the differences between groups before and after treatment were statistically significant (showing better quality of life after the treatment) (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the mean score of quality of life related to oral health in the studied patients according to the age and sex (P>0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, treatment of periodontal diseases improves quality of life related to oral health in patients with gingivitis and moderate to severe chronic periodontitis.
