          Abstract

          RESUMEN Introducción: El edentulismo parcial o total genera alteraciones en la calidad vida de los pacientes, por ende, el plan de rehabilitación se da a través de prótesis dentales que están diseñadas para mejorar la calidad de vida del paciente, devolviendo la función masticatoria y estética facial. Objetivo: Determinar los factores asociados al nivel de conocimiento de la población sobre el uso, cuidado e higiene en pacientes portadores de prótesis dentales removibles. Materiales y métodos: Es un estudio tipo básico de diseño no experimental descriptivo, correlacional, transversal. Se empleó una encuesta validada por expertos con una buena confiabilidad de consistencia interna (Cronbach a = 0.857) la cual fue distribuida por Facebook y WhatsApp. La muestra del estudio consistió en 573 portadores de prótesis dentales removibles, siendo 324 mujeres (56,54 %) y 249 hombres (43,45 %). Resultados: Se muestra un conocimiento bajo en el 52.4% y alto en el 47.6% de la población, además, se observa que los factores asociados al nivel de conocimiento de la población sobre el uso, cuidado e higiene en pacientes portadores de Prótesis Dentales Removibles son la edad (x2= 12.834 y un p-valor= 0.005) y la ubicación de la prótesis (x2= 12.834 y p-valor= 0.005), para el sexo y tipo de prótesis el valor p es mayor a 0.05, por lo cual no resulta significativo. Conclusión: Existe una falta de conocimiento sobre el cuidado de las PDR en la mayor parte de la población estudiada, esto indica la necesidad de incrementar la educación y el asesoramiento sobre el cuidado de las prótesis para mejorar la calidad de vida en los pacientes portadores por parte de los profesionales de la salud odontológica.

          ABSTRACT Introduction: Partial or total edentulism generates alterations in the quality of life of patients, therefore, the rehabilitation plan is given through dental prostheses that are designed to improve the quality of life of the patient, returning the masticatory function and facial aesthetics. Objective: To determine the factors associated with the level of knowledge of the population about the use, care and hygiene in patients with removable dental prostheses. Materials and methods: It is a basic type study of non-experimental descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional design. A survey validated by experts with good internal consistency reliability (Cronbach α = 0.857) was used, which was distributed by Facebook and WhatsApp. The study sample consisted of 573 removable dental prosthesis wearers, 324 women (56.54%) and 249 men (43.45%). Results: Low knowledge is shown in 52.4% and high in 47.6% of the population, in addition, it is observed that the factors associated with the level of knowledge of the population about the use, care and hygiene in patients with Removable Dental Prostheses are age (x2= 12.834 and p-value= 0.005) and the location of the prosthesis (x2= 12.834 and p-value= 0.005), for sex and type of prosthesis the p-value is greater than 0.05, therefore which is not significant. Conclusion: There is a lack of knowledge about the care of PDR in most of the population studied, this indicates the need to increase education and advice on the care of prostheses to improve the quality of life in patients with prosthetics. Part of dental health professionals.

          Assessment of factors influencing oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of patients with removable dental prosthesis

          Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate factors affecting oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) of patients using removable dental prosthesis. Methods: The present study employed a cross sectional analytical design. A total of 200 patients participated and interviewed using a cross sectional analytical design. In the first section of the questionnaire patients were asked about demographic data whereas the second part of the questionnaire assessed medical history, oral habits, smoking status, oral hygiene habits and frequency of dental visit. The questionnaire also collected information regarding patient’s removable prosthesis. Questionnaire of OHIP-DENT (Oral Health Impact Profile) was also employed to measure oral health quality of life (OHRQoL) on the domains of functional limitation (FL), physical pain (P1), psychological discomfort (P2), physical disability (D1), psychological disability (D2), social disability (D3) and handicap (H). Relationships between the demographic, socio-economic and education variables and others OHIP-EDENT scores were explored by comparing mean scores by applying ANOVA. Results: The study participants comprised of 107 males (53.5%) and 93 females (46.5%). Regarding oral care, participants reporting to visit their dentist within one year were 40.0%. The highest score was recorded for the functional limitation (FL) domain (15.62±6.6), followed by social disability (D3) (15.23±5.06) and physical pain (P1) (14.28±4.8). The respective scores for physical (D1) and psychological disability (D2) and handicap (H) were 10.47±4.84, 11.32±5.38 and 12.45±4.50 respectively. Conclusions: Removable partial denture patients showed minimum problems with mastication, social compromise and functional discomfort. The oral health quality of life of removable denture patients is significantly influenced by patient education level, socio-economic status, medical conditions, smoking and tobacco use habits.

            Infrequent Denture Cleaning Increased the Risk of Pneumonia among Community-dwelling Older Adults: A Population-based Cross-sectional Study

            Pneumonia is a leading cause of death among older adults. The effectiveness of oral care in preventing pneumonia in nursing homes and hospitals has been reported. However, in community-dwelling older adults, the role of denture cleaning in preventing pneumonia remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the association between infrequent denture cleaning and the risk of pneumonia in community-dwelling older adults. This cross-sectional study was based on the self-reported questionnaire targeting towards community-dwelling older adults aged ≥65 years. Responses of 71,227 removable full/partial denture users were included. The incidence of pneumonia within the last one-year and the frequency of denture cleaning (daily/non-daily) were treated as dependent and independent variables, respectively. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated by the inverse probability weighting (IPW) method based on the logistic regression model. The mean age of the participants was 75.2 ± 6.5 years; 48.3% were male. Overall, 4.6% of the participants did not clean their dentures daily; 2.3% and 3.0% who did and did not clean their dentures daily, respectively, experienced pneumonia. After IPW, infrequent denture cleaning was significantly associated with pneumonia incidence (OR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.01–1.68)). This study suggests that denture cleaning could prevent pneumonia among community-dwelling older adults.

              Oral Candidiasis and COVID-19 in Users of Removable Dentures: Is Special Oral Care Needed?

              Elderly patients with systemic disorders and immunocompromised patients seem to have a higher risk of developing morbidity from COVID-19. Candida albicans ( C. albicans ) is a potentially dangerous pathogen for these patients, especially for denture wearers with prosthetic stomatitis who require mechanical ventilation. C. albicans infection, the main candidiasis infection associated with denture wear, can complicate COVID-19 and increase the associated morbidity and mortality. Therefore, early diagnosis of C. albicans infection in COVID-19 patients is important to establish more effective antifungal treatment methods and prophylaxis strategies. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients should undergo an oral examination to assess their oral health, and those with poor oral health should receive the appropriate care and monitoring.
