Abstract:
Background: Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) is an important measure of disease and intervention
outcomes. Chronic periodontitis (CP) is an inflammatory condition that is associated with obesity and
adversely affects ORHQoL. Obese patients with CP incur a double burden of disease. In this poster we aimed
to explore the effect of Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy (NSPT) on OHRQoL among obese participants with
chronic periodontitis.
Materials & Methods: This was a randomized control clinical trial at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Malaya.
A total of 66 obese patients with chronic periodontits were randomly allocated into the treatment group
(n=33) who received NSPT, while the control group (n=33) received no treatment. Four participants (2 from
each group) were non-contactable 12 weeks post intervention. Therefore, their data were removed from the
final analysis. The protocol involved questionnaires (characteristics and OHRQoL (Oral Health Impacted Profile-
14; OHIP-14)) and clinical examination.
Results: The OHIP prevalence of impact (PI), overall mean OHIP severity score (SS) and mean OHIP extent of
Impact (EI) at baseline and at 12 weeks follow up were almost similar between the two groups and statistically
not significant at (p=0.618), (p=0.573), and (p=0.915), respectively. However, in a within –group comparison,
OHIP PI, OHIP SS, and OHIP EI showed a significant improvement for both treatment and control groups and
the p values were ((0.002), (0.008) for PI), ((0.006) and (0.004) for SS) and ((0.006) and (0.002) for EI) in-treatment
and control groups, respectively.
Conclusion: NSPT did not significantly affect the OHRQol among those obese with CP. Regardless, NSPT, functional
limitation and psychological discomfort domains had significantly improved.
