Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Today, the effects of the oral health conditions on the treatment efficiency and patient well-being are the central focus of dental enquires.This study was designed to evaluate the effects of the surgeries most frequently performed in periodontal clinics on the preoperative anxiety, Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP14) and postoperative pain levels. Methods: A total of 97 patients undergoing periodontal surgery were included in this study. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to their indications: free gingival grafts (FGGs) (n=23), subepithelial connective tissue grafts (SCTGs) (n=23), open flap debridements (OFDs) (n=26) and gingivectomies (Gs) (n=25). The patients were evaluated preoperative anxiety, VAS (during 7 days) and OHIP-14 (1 month and 3 months after surgery). Results: Anxiety levels were found statistically significantly correlated with pain levels only after the 1st and 2nd days of operation (p<0.05). In the FGG, SCTG and OFD groups, there was no significant difference between the preoperative values and those at 1 month postoperatively (p>0.05), but there was a significant improvement at 3 months in terms of the OHIP-14 score (p<0.05). The shortest pain duration was observed after the G operations, with significant increases seen in OHIP-14 in both the first and third months (p<0.05). Conclusions:This is the first study in which the oral health-related quality of life, VAS and anxiety levels of different periodontal surgical procedures were widely evaluated.As a result of this study, after periodontal surgeries improvement of oral health related quality of life was seen after three months.
