Gingivitis and oral health-related quality of life: a systematic literature review / Gengivite e qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal: uma revisão sistemática da literatura

RESUMO

O objetivo deste estudo foi revisar sistematicamente a literatura sobre a relação entre gengivite e qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal (QVRSB). Material e Métodos: Bases de dados relevantes foram utilizadas para busca de artigos em Inglês, publicados entre Outubro de 1990 a Fevereiro de 2014. Dois examinadores independentes selecionaram os artigos relevantes, avaliando inicialmente os resumos e posteriormente os artigos completos. Os estudos selecionados foram agrupados de acordo com os intrumentos clínicos e de QVRSB e foram submetidos à análise qualitativa. Resultados: Das 184 referências, dez foram selecionadas para análise. Todos os estudos eram transversais e reportavam dados de quatro países: Índia (n = 1), Brasil (n = 3), Tailândia (n = 5) e Sudão (n = 1). O número e idade dos sujeitos avaliados variaram de 53 a 1874 e de oito a 106 anos, respectivamente. Os seguintes instrumentos de QVRSB foram utilizados: Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ), Oral Impacts on Daily Performance (OIDP), Child-OIDP e Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). Os diferentes métodos para avaliar a presença de gengivite foram: Índice Gengival (n = 2), Índice Periodontal Comunitário (n = 7) e sangramento gengival após escovação dentária (n = 1). Conclusão: A presente revisão sistemática da literatura sugere que a gengivite está associada com o comprometimento da QVRSB...

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to review systematically the literature about the relationship between gingivitis and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Material and Methods: Relevant databases were searched for articles in English, which had been published from October 1990 to February 2014. Two independent examiners selected relevant papers, by initially assessing the abstracts and subsequently the full-text articles. Selected studies were grouped based on clinical and OHRQoL instruments and submitted to qualitative analyses. Results: Out of 184 references, ten were eligible for synthesis. All studies were cross-sectional and reported data from the following four different countries: India (n = 1), Brazil (n = 3), Thailand (n = 5) and Sudan (n = 1). The number and age of subjects included ranged from 53 to 1874 and from eight to 106 years, respectively. The following five OHRQoL instruments were used: Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ), Oral Impacts on Daily Performance (OIDP), Child-OIDP and Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). The different methods to evaluate the presence of gingivitis were: Gingival Index (n = 2), Community Periodontal Index (n = 7) and gingival bleeding after tooth brushing (n = 1). Conclusion: This systematic literature review suggests that gingivitis is associated with impairment of OHRQoL...
