• W187415168 abstract "Background: Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the tooth-supporting tissues. It contributes extensively to the global burden of oral diseases. The mild-to-moderate periodontitis is the most common, with prevalence estimates ranging from 13% to 57%, depending on the sample characteristics and the case definition used. Studies in Middle Eastern countries showed that the prevalence of periodontitis tends to be low, around 13%. However, in the Sultanate of Oman, only studies surveying caries in children have been conducted. There are no published studies surveying the oral health status of an adult population.Perceptions of oral health and positive or negative impacts of oral health status on the quality of life cannot really be recorded and must be reported by those who experience the conditions. These perceptions can be characterised by measures of Oral-Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL). Several instruments have been developed to measure OHRQoL. Of these, the most extensively studied and widely used instrument is the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP). Only a few observation studies have reported on the impact of periodontitis on OHRQoL. While most of these have shown an association between periodontitis and poor quality of life, many did not allow for the concurrent impact of other oral diseases and conditions on OHRQoL, meaning that the periodontitis-OHRQoL association may have been confounded.Objectives: The objectives of this study are to: (1) describe the oral health status of Omani teachers in the Muscat region, (2) test the validity of the short-form Arabic version of the OHIP in Oman (3) investigate the impact of periodontal diseases on the OHRQoL; and determined whether a biological gradient exists between the disease and OHRQoL.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 319 teachers who were randomly sampled from the Muscat region schools’ list of teachers in Oman. The teachers were systematically examined for dental caries, tooth loss, and periodontal attachment loss. OHRQoL was measured using the 14-item Arabic OHIP questionnaire (OHIP-14A). The questionnaire also collected data on each study member’s socio-demographic characteristics, dental care characteristics, self-rated general and oral health, self-rated periodontal status and self-rated wellbeing. Socio-economic status (SES) was determined from each individual’s household income.Results: The age of participants ranged from 23 to 50, with a mean age of 30.9 years (sd = 5.3). There were similar proportions of males and females, and almost half of the participants were in the 20 to 29 years age group.An average of 156 sites were examined per participant. Around 40% of participants had at least one site with gingival recession (GR) of 2+mm, and almost all had at least one site with PD or CAL of 3+mm. More than one-third (36%) of participants had at least one site with 5+mm clinical attachment loss (CAL), and one in ten (12%) had at least one site with 6+mm CAL. For pocket depths (PD), those estimates were…" @default.
