UNASSIGNED: The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) questionnaire was administered twice (pre- and post-treatment) and once to 41 patients with a unilateral SDA missing a single second molar who chose IFPD treatment (IFPD group, n = 22) and the wait-and-see approach (no treatment group, n = 19), respectively. Logistic regression analysis was performed with IFPD treatment choice as the objective variable and the four OHIP dimension scores, age, and sex as covariates. The pre- and post-treatment values of the OHIP summary and four-dimension scores were compared using a paired t-test.
UNASSIGNED: The IFPD treatment choice was significantly associated with sex (male), higher Oral Function dimension scores, and lower Psychosocial Impact dimension scores (all P < 0.05). The OHIP summary and four-dimension scores were significantly lower following IFPD treatment (all P < 0.05).
UNASSIGNED: IFPD treatment for a single missing second molar may be clinically beneficial for improving the OHRQoL of patients with an SDA who experience a decline in masticatory function.
■口腔健康影响概况(OHIP)问卷两次(治疗前后),一次至41例选择IFPD治疗的单侧SDA缺失单个第二磨牙的患者(IFPD组,n=22)和观望方法(无治疗组,n=19),分别。以IFPD治疗选择为客观变量,以4个OHIP维度评分进行Logistic回归分析,年龄,和性别作为协变量。使用配对t检验比较OHIP总结和四维评分的治疗前后值。
■IFPD治疗选择与性别(男性)显着相关,口腔功能维度得分较高,心理社会影响维度得分较低(均P<0.05)。IFPD治疗后OHIP总得分和四维评分均显著降低(均P<0.05)。
■IFPD治疗单颗缺失的第二磨牙可能在临床上有益于改善咀嚼功能下降的SDA患者的OHRQoL。
