Method: Total 980 subjects aged 7-89 were selected at one dental hospital from May 2011 to March 2014. The questionnaire consist of self-reported oral health status, frequency of concern about oral health, perceived 5 oral symptoms and oral health impact profile(OHIP-14K) was distributed to subjects. Patient’s dental records were examined for collect personal record and related factors.
Results:
1. Self-reported oral health status of subjects were significantly different by professional regular oral care, fixed prothesis, periodontal pockets, chronic general disease were present or not(P<0.05).
2. Frequencies of concerns about oral health were significantly different by professional regular oral care, periodontal pockets were present or not(P<0.05).
3. OHIP-14 scores of subjects with periodontal pocket over 4 mm and chronic general disease were significantly higher than without groups(P<0.05).
4. OHIP-14 scores of subjects who answered themselves’ oral health was ‘unhealthy’ were significantly higher than ‘moderate’ and ‘healthy’ groups(P<0.05).
5. OHIP-14 scores of subjects who concerned more frequently about oral health were significantly higher than less groups(P<0.05).
6. Subjects who answered feel frequently ‘toothache’, ‘periodontal pain’, ‘tooth hypersensitivity’, ‘gingival bleeding’ and ‘oral malodor’showed higher OHIP-14 scores(P<0.05).
7. Regular professional oral health care, feel worse self-reported oral health status, more frequently concern about oral health, feel toothache, periodontal pain, tooth hypersensitivity and oral malodor were showed significant correlations with OHIP-14 from multiple regression analysis(P<0.05).
Conclusion: This results showed that subjective oral health cognizance can correlated with oral health related with quality of life(OHRQoL) as well as objective oral health status. And some subjective oral symptoms may be indicators of OHRQoL, So improving oral symptoms by professional oral care would be help to improve people’s OHRQoL.
