Objective: to assess the relationship between oral rehabilitation treatment and Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQL) in people who attended the dental clinics at Universidad Santo Tomás in Bucaramanga (Colombia).
Methods: an analytic cross-sectional study was carried out. Two hundred and sixty two people who had received oral rehabilitation treatment by undergraduate and graduate students filled out the short version the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-sp) questionnaire. All the dimensions that compound the OHIP-sp questionnaire, age, gender, type of oral rehabilitation treatment received, and socioeconomic condition were analyzed. Frequencies and proportions for qualitative variables and measures of central tendency and dispersion for quantitative variables were obtained. The relationship between OHRQL and other variables of interest was established by Wilcoxon Rank test, ANOVA and Student t test.
Results: the mean age of the study population was 48.7 ± 13.0 years. It was not found a statistically significant difference between the oral rehabilitation treatment received and each one of the fourteen dimensions that the Spanish version of the OHIP had. However, a statistically significant difference was found between functional limitation and age (p = 0.0218) and gender (p = 0.048) and between the age when compared with physical pain (p = 0.0126) and social disability (p = 0.0204).
Conclusions: patients with the lowest scores of functional limitation were those with fixed prostheses. Patients receiving dental implants had the highest scores of dissatisfaction and psychological disability.
