Abstract
The objective of this study was to survey the oral health-related quality of life (OHLQoL) among the elderly who participated in the dental implants for the elderly project from 2019 to 2022, and to identify the factors that affected OHLQoL. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire that included demographic data and Thai version of the oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14). Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal-Wallis test were used for statistical analysis. The study included a total of 46 participants. The majority of them (67.4%) did not experience any OHLQoL problems from dental implant and prosthesis placement. The mean OHIP-14 score was 2.13 ± 5.38 (ranging from 0 to 24). The factors that significantly correlated with OHIP-14 severity score (p-value < 0.05) were the problems in function and duration of usage. In conclusion, most of participants exhibited good oral health-related quality of life from the use of dental implants for chewing function.
