Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Dentistry
  • Oral Health Outcomes Research
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes

Background:

  • Effective dental care for older adults requires understanding both patient and professional perspectives on oral health.
  • Assessing patients' self-perceived oral health and psychosocial functioning is crucial for determining their expressed needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an "expressed need" schedule for older adults.
  • To evaluate if this schedule can predict patient satisfaction with complete dentures.

Main Methods:

  • A survey of 260 community-dwelling adults aged 65 and over.
  • Utilized a modified Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) questionnaire to assess oral health perceptions.
  • Included clinical oral examinations for all participants.

Main Results:

  • Complete denture wearers reported more oral health and psychological difficulties.
  • Factor analysis identified three key dimensions: psychological health, social health, and self-perceived physical oral health.
  • High self-perceived oral health and low social health problems predicted satisfaction, independent of normative treatment needs.

Conclusions:

  • Incorporating questions on self-perceived oral health and psychosocial well-being (expressed need) is vital for predicting patient satisfaction with complete dentures.
  • This approach enhances the assessment of patient needs in geriatric dental care.
