| Summary: | The influence of endodontic status on quality of life has not been fully clarified. The
aim of this study was to quantify the effect of endodontic status on everyday functioning using the psychometric
instrument Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP) and to correlate endodontic status
with quality of life using the OIDP questionnaire. A total of 600 participants were referred to dental
radiography for digital orthopantomograms and asked to fill out the OIDP questionnaire. Digital orthopantomograms
were analyzed and compared with OIDP results. The correlation between endodontic
status and quality of life was tested. The statistical analysis consisted of descriptive statistics, non-parametric
statistics, hierarchical multiple regression analysis by enter method, and correlation analysis. The
results showed that quality of life was significantly affected by tooth loss (p<0.05). Endodontic treatment
on canines and incisors positively correlated with higher OIDP scores, indicating an effect on quality of
life (p<0.05). In conclusion, the correlations between variables describing the endodontic status and the
quantitative results of the OIDP questionnaire indicate a measurable effect of endodontic disease/health
on everyday functioning. |
