A Periodontal Health and its Impact on Oral Health-Related Quality of Life Among Diabetes Mellitus Patients
Periodontal health impact on diabetes patients' quality of life
Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between periodontal health and oral health-related
quality of life (OHRQoL) in people with diabetes mellitus. The secondary objective was to compare the
OHRQoL between diabetic and non-diabetic individuals.
Methodology: This study was performed at the Department of Operative Dentistry, Pakistan Institute of
Medical Sciences (PIMS), Islamabad from April 2023 to June 2023. The study comprised 80 participants:
40 individuals with diabetes in case group and 40 individuals without the condition taken as control. Clinical
periodontal disease examination was performed at six sites per tooth, to determine clinical attachment loss.
After the examination, the patient was asked to complete self-administered questionnaires covering the OHIP14 domains. To compare the clinical attachment loss between the two cohorts, a chi-square test was employed.
An independent t-test was used to evaluate disparities in OHIP-14 domain scores between the diabetes and
non-diabetes groups.
Results: There were 80 patients, with a mean age of 39.07± 5.96. Among those, 40 had diabetes and the
remaining 40 did not. The majority of participants were women. In contrast to individuals without diabetes,
a significantly higher proportion of those with diabetes exhibited a CAL (Clinical Attachment Loss) of =3mm.
Significant associations between the two groups were observed in OHIP-14 domains such as Impaired
functionality, physical impairment, psychological disability, and social disability, while the remaining domains
showed no significant associations (p>0.001).
Conclusion: This research provided valuable insights into the intricate correlation among diabetes mellitus,
periodontal health, and oral health-related quality of life, underscoring the multifaceted nature of their
interrelation.
