    Evaluation of the Effect of Periodontitis on Quality of Life Using Oral-Dental Health-Related Quality of Life-United Kingdom Scale
    (2021) Kutsal, Derya; Cetin, Mehtap Bilgin; Durukan, Elif; Bulut, Sule; 0000-0002-8579-5564; 33797852; AAJ-8621-2021
    Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of periodontitis on oral health-related quality of life (OHQoL) using Oral-Dental Health-Related Quality of Life-United Kingdom (OHRQoL-UK) scale and evaluate the contributing factors. Methods 50 patients with untreated periodontitis and 50 individuals without periodontitis were enrolled in the study. All subjects received detailed periodontal examination. Plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) measurements were examined. OHRQoL was assessed by the Oral Health Quality of Life-United Kingdom (OHRQoL-UK) scale. Symptoms of periodontitis were monitored by visual analogue scale (VAS). Socio-demographic characteristics, medical history, smoking status, hygiene habits of the participants were recorded. This study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT04240014. Results Total OHRQoL-UK scores were 38.24 +/- 6.47 in periodontitis patients and 55.88 +/- 9.38 in non-periodontitis individuals (p < 0.001). The scores of all 4 parameters were significantly lower in patients with periodontitis compared to healthy individuals (p <0.001). Higher PI, GI, PD and CAL values were associated with extensive negative impacts of periodontitis on OHRQoL (p < 0.001). According to the results of linear regression analysis, only periodontitis was found to associate with OHRQoL. Periodontal disease reduces the total quality of life score by 15.087 (ss= -15.087; 95% CI = [(-18.934)-(-11.240)]. Conclusions Individuals with periodontitis has diminished OHRQoL compared to healthy individuals.

    Association of probable bruxism with periodontal status: A cross-sectional study in patients seeking periodontal care
    (2020) Cetin, Metin Bilgin; Sezgin, Yasemin; Maras, Enes; Cebeci, Ilker Ata; 0000-0002-5153-2635; 33368265
    Objective The goals of this study were to investigate the prevalence of probable bruxism in a group of patients seeking a periodontal care and the association between probable bruxism and periodontal status. Background The results of previous studies evaluating the relationship between bruxism and periodontitis are contradictory. In addition, the relationship between probable bruxism and periodontitis in adults has not been evaluated, yet. Therefore, new studies are required in this field to clarify the relationship between bruxism and periodontitis. Methods Patients seeking periodontal care at a university periodontology unit were considered in this study. Their periodontal diagnosis, number of missing teeth, presence of probable bruxism, and sociodemographic characteristics were recorded. The periodontal status of each study participant was defined according to the latest consensus of the American Association of Periodontology/European Federation of Periodontology, and the 2018 consensus report on the assessment of bruxism was used to evaluate probable bruxism. A multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the effects of bruxism on periodontitis. Results A total of 541 patients (289 females and 252 males, mean age 42.1 +/- 15.9 years) were enrolled in the present study. The prevalence of probable bruxism was 36.6%. Additionally, 40.9% of the study population was diagnosed with periodontitis. The probable bruxers were older (P < 0.001), had a higher number of missing teeth (P < 0.001), and had poor periodontal status (P < 0.001). The multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that probable bruxism was associated with periodontitis, after adjusting relevant factors (odds ratio: 2.243, 95% CI: 1.465-3.434, P < 0.001). Conclusions It was observed that the prevalence of probable bruxism was 36.6% and probable bruxers showed higher odds of periodontitis. Future studies with prospective randomized design should be conducted to confirm these results among a larger study population.
