BACKGROUND: Dental pain, swelling, and sensitivity are typically assessed by dentists, who often overlook their impact on patients' daily lives. "Oral health-related quality of life" (OHRQoL) assesses the impact of oral conditions on daily activities. Previous studies have shown that dental issues have a significant effect on OHRQoL, motivating patients to seek treatment.
AIM: To evaluate OHRQoL and its associated factors among patients requiring endodontic treatment in the Indian context.
METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional study included patients aged 18 years or older who required endodontic treatment. We excluded patients with acute conditions or communication barriers. Sociodemographic data, clinical variables, self-reported pain, and OHRQoL (oral health impact profile [OHIP-14]) data were then collected. The Mann‒Whitney U test and Kruskal‒Wallis ANOVA were applied for bivariate analysis. Negative binomial regression was performed to identify significant predictors.
RESULTS: Of the 323 patients who were eligible, 306 participated. The mean age was 39.85 years, and most participants were female (59.5%). OHIP-14 scores were significantly positively correlated with global general health, oral health, and pain (p < 0.001). Sociodemographic variables were not significantly associated with OHRQoL. Individuals with more than one tooth requiring endodontic treatment, multiple decayed teeth, and missing teeth had significantly higher OHIP-14 scores. Negative binomial regression revealed that the number of teeth requiring endodontic treatment, decayed teeth, and pain were significant predictors of poor OHRQoL.
CONCLUSION: Patients requiring endodontic treatment experience substantial impairment in OHRQoL, which is influenced primarily by pain and the cumulative oral disease burden rather than by sociodemographic factors.
