Abstract
The objective of this prospective study was to assess oral health-related quality of life
(OHR-QoL) in patients with periodontitis and nonsurgical periodontal treatment. A prospective,
longitudinal case series study was carried out at the University Dental Clinic of the Morales Meseguer
Hospital in Murcia. Eighty periodontal patients with periodontitis, aged 22 to 72 years, were included
in this study. The Spanish version of the Oral Health Impact Profile 14 (OHIP-14sp) questionnaire was
used on two occasions: at the first visit and one month after completing the nonsurgical periodontal
treatment. Clinical measurements of probing depth, plaque index and bleeding on probing were
performed at baseline and after periodontal therapy. Data were analyzed using Student’s t-test and
analysis of variance. We found statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between the pre- and posttreatment
in all the dimensions studied except disability. Similarly, statistically significant differences
were also found according to the degree or stage of the disease. However, these differences were
not observed with respect to the extent of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease has a negative
impact on the OHRQoL of periodontal patients, especially in severe stages (III–IV). Basic periodontal
treatment can improve the OHRQoL of periodontal patients one month after treatment.
