Although oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) as measured by the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) is thought to be multidimensional, nature these dimensions not known. The aim this report was explore dimensionality OHIP using Dimensions OHRQoL (DOQ) Project, an international study general population subjects and prosthodontic patients. Using project's Learning Sample (n = 5173), we conducted exploratory factor analysis on 46 items specifically referring dentures for 5146 with...
Summary Previous exploratory analyses suggest that the Oral Health Impact Profile ( OHIP ) consists of four correlated dimensions and individual differences in total scores reflect an underlying higher‐order factor. The aim this report is to corroborate these findings Dimensions Health‐Related Quality Life DOQ Project, international study general population subjects prosthodontic patients. Using project's Validation Sample n = 5022), we conducted confirmatory factor a sample 4993 with...
Summary How dental patients are affected by oral conditions can be described with the concept of health‐related quality life ( OHRQ oL). This intends to make patient experience measurable. oL is multidimensional, and Oral Function , Oro‐facial Pain Appearance Psychosocial Impact were suggested as its four dimensions consequently scores needed for comprehensive assessment. When only presence dimensional impact measured, a pattern would describe in simple way how influence individual. By...
Abstract Introduction Recent computer‐guided dynamic navigation systems promise a novel training approach for implant surgery. This study aimed to examine learning progress in placement of dental implants among students using on simulation model. Materials and Methods Senior with no experience were randomly assigned five attempts involving either three maxillary or four mandibular distributed the anterior/posterior, left/right segments. Implant was planned Navident Dynamic Guidance system....
To develop Croatian and Slovenian versions of the 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) Questionnaire.The English original version OHIP questionnaire was translated into (OHIP-CRO14) (OHIP-SVN14) language by a forward-backward translation method. The psychometric properties OHIP-CRO14 OHIP-SVN14 were tested. Concurrent validity tested on 623 subjects (193 430 Slovenian), test-retest reliability 115 (55 60 internal consistency 678 (218 460 responsiveness 51 patients (21 30 Slovenian) in...

This study assessed the dimensional structure of sleep quality with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and investigated its psychometric properties in cases temporomandibular disorders (TMD). A convenience sample 609 TMD (age: 37.1 ± 13.1 yrs, 18–67 85% female) multi-center Validation Project meeting Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) sufficient PSQI data were included this study. To investigate scores’ dimensionality, exploratory factor analysis was...
doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2011.00592.x A 3‐year longitudinal study of quality‐of‐life outcomes elderly patients with implant‐ and tooth‐supported fixed partial dentures in posterior dental regions Background: Clinical studies have mainly been focused on oral health‐related (OHRQoL) removable dentures. Objective: To evaluate therapy implant‐supported (IFPD) (FPD) the regions. Patients methods: The OHIP49 was used to measure OHRQoL 64 IFPD 38 FPD, before, 3 weeks years after rehabilitation....
Abstract Objectives To investigate the correlation between four dimensions of Oral Health-Related Quality Life (OHRQoL) and (HRQoL) constructs in a dental patient population. Methods A cross-sectional study carried out at HealthPartners, Minnesota, USA. This is secondary data analysis available adult patients’ data. The instruments used to assess OHRQoL HRQoL were Health Impact Profile–version with 49 items (OHIP-49) Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Information System (PROMIS) measures...
Several controversies exist regarding the relationship between hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and some cutaneous manifestations, lichen planus (LP) in particular.To determine prevalence of LP other manifestations a cohort patients infected with HCV from low endemic area Slovenia, to correlate findings chosen biological variables assess role interferon (IFN)-based treatment manifestations. Methods A total 171 consecutive HCV-seropositive HCV-seronegative age- gender-matched controls were...
Objectives: To prospectively assess self-perceived chewing function (CF) and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in geriatric patients after receiving three different treatment modalities the mandible: removable partial denture (CD-RPD), complete (CDs), or overdenture supported by mini dental implants (CD-MDI).At baseline, all had mobile anterior teeth (1 mm >) missing posterior mandible.Patients were completely edentulous maxilla.After treatment, recalled at 3-month 2-year...
Abstract Aim To validate the Slovenian version (SOC-13-SVN) of Sense Coherence 13-item instrument (SOC-13) in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Methods A consecutive 134 MS patients were enrolled a cross-sectional study 2013. The reliability SOC-13-SVN was assessed for internal consistency by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (α), dimensionality confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and criterion validity Pearson correlation (r) between global score MSQOL-54 composite scores – Mental Health...
