| Popis: | Problems on the quality of life of patients with diseases of the dentoalveolar apparatus are focused on medical and social aspects. Quality of life studies allow learning not only of the well-being of the patients but also of the disadvantages of various medical interventions in the field of dentistry. Depending on the scope of application, the concept of the quality of life can combine different categories and even systems. Dentistry occupies a leading position because of the scale of morbidities, so there is a close relationship between violations in the functions of the dental apparatus and functions of all body systems. The concept of the quality of life related to oral health is quite vague, which has led to the emergence of various definitions of quality of life related to oral health. Studies of the quality of life in dentistry are carried our using specialized questionnaires in connection with periodontal diseases and adentia, and authors note a close relationship between the absence of teeth and low quality of life. This article considers and analyzes the issue of the relevance of the quality of life associated with the incidence of oral diseases using various questionnaires, including both medical and social issues. |
