dc.description.abstract | Objective: To test whether people with shortened dental arches
(SDA) have impaired oral health-related quality of life than those with more
natural teeth. Method: We analysed data from the 2004–2006 Australian
National Survey of Adult Oral Health (including telephone interview, oral
epidemiological examinations and mailed questionnaire). Participants aged ≥15
years and with intact anterior teeth were eligible in this study. We used
multivariable negative binomial regression analyses to test the association of
SDA, according to two alternative definition (1. having intact teeth and 3-5
natural occlusal units; 2. having intact anterior teeth and four natural occlusal
units), with OHIP-14 severity and extent, adjusting for potential confounders,
including demographic variables (age and sex), socioeconomic variables
(income and education), behaviour characteristics (time since last visit, reason
for the last dental visit, difficult in paying $100 dental bill and dental insurance
possession), and dental outcomes (coronal and root caries, and periodontal
disease). Result: We analysed on 2,750 dentate participants that were eligible for
the study. When SDA was classified as intact anterior teeth, four occlusal units
and no dental prosthesis, no statistical difference in OHIP-14 severity or extent
was identified compared with those with intact anterior teeth, over four
occlusal units and no dental prosthesis. Participants who presented intact
anterior teeth, 3-5 occlusal units and no prosthesis showed 50% higher rates of
OHIP-14 severity than those with intact anterior teeth, over five occlusal units
and no prosthesis while their OHIP-14 extent was similar to that of the
reference group. Conclusion: SDA is not associated with negative impacts on
quality of life, according to both OHIP-14 severity and extent, when SDA is
defined as four occlusal units and no dental prosthesis. When SDA is defined as
3-5 occlusal units and no dental prosthesis, it is only associated with OHIP-14
severity, but not OHIP-14 extent. | |
