Abstrakt: Aims: The current study was conducted to assess the oral health-related quality of life in completely edentulous and diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. The null hypothesis of the survey is that there is no effect of both edentulism and diabetes on the oral health-related quality of life of patients.
Settings and Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study.
Methods and Materials: Test Groups: The study population was divided into three groups: • Group 1: Non-diabetic patients, wearing a complete denture. • Group 2: Diabetic patients, wearing a complete denture. • Group 3: Diabetic, completely dentulous patients. Sample Size: In total, 332 (200 males and 132 females) patients.
Methodology of the Survey: Telephonic and interview methods of surveying were employed to evaluate patients.
Statistical Analysis Used: The mean values, standard deviation (SD) and P value were calculated using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The level of significance was set at 5% (* P value < 0.05, *** P value < 0.001, NS: statistically non-significant). The higher the score, the higher the impact and vice-versa. Inter-group comparisons were done with post-hoc Bonferroni's test for multiple group comparisons.
Results: Data collected from the survey were statistically significant, results were noted between the completely edentulous patients wearing dentures and diabetic dentulous patients. Though DM is a potent risk factor for periodontitis, leading to edentulism, statistical analysis of this study suggested that the oral health-related quality of life was affected significantly only due to edentulism and not due to DM. This is indicative of the fact that the quality of the prostheses itself determines the overall oral health-related quality of life, irrespective of whether the patient is a diabetic or not. Therefore, it can be said that the present trends of prosthodontic management of patients with DM are successfully restoring the patients physiological, psychological as well as social needs.
Conclusions: Complete edentulism is the terminal outcome of a multifactorial process involving biological factors and patient-related factors. Diabetes and edentulism are both potential comorbid factors governing the oral health-related quality of life. The correlation between the two is complex and needs a thorough evaluation to improve the overall health of patients in the current clinical practice.
Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest.
