Summary
Finding consensus on psychologic outcomes for tooth loss treatment is crucial. The Oral Rehabilitation Network (ORONet) Psychological Working Group identified the OHIP-14 as suitable for clinical trials and practice.
Area of Science:
- Oral rehabilitation
- Prosthodontics
- Psychological outcomes
Background:
- Tooth loss treatment requires consensus on psychologic outcomes for patient management.
- Understanding patient psychologic well-being is vital for chronic condition management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify psychologic outcomes for tooth loss treatment meeting clinical trial and practice needs.
- To evaluate existing measures for truth, discrimination, and feasibility.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of PubMed/Medline for clinical outcomes measures.
- Evaluation of identified measures against truth, discrimination, and feasibility criteria.
Main Results:
- The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) was identified as suitable for general practice and clinical trials.
- No other psychologic outcome measures met all suitability criteria.
Conclusions:
- The OHIP-14 is a viable tool for assessing psychologic outcomes in tooth loss treatment.
- Future development of psychologic outcome measures should utilize patient-related outcomes methodologies.
