Oral Health Care Program, Royal dentures Insertion, Oral Health Impact ProfileAbstract
This quasi-experimental study aimed to determine the effectiveness of an oral health care program after complete dentures insertion on oral health care and oral health problems and assesses an oral health impact profile (OHIP). The sample included 140 participants in the Phibun Mangsahan district, Ubon Ratchathani province, divided into experimental and a control group of 70 each. The experimental group received an 8- week oral health care program, and the control group received dental health education in routine care. Data were collected using questionnaires and oral health check-up and analyzed by using descriptive statistics, McNemar's Chi-Square Test, Pearson Chi-Square Test, Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test.
The results showed that after the program, oral health care behaviors increased significantly higher (p<0.001) than before receiving the program. Oral health problems such as plaque, gingivitis, periodontitis, and dental caries were significantly lower (p<0.001) than before receiving the program. The oral health impact profile (OHIP) was lower (p<0.001) than before receiving the program and significantly lower (p<0.001) than in the control group. As a result, dental clinics in hospitals should continue an oral health care program to decrease the oral health impact profile, and continuously improve oral health care after complete dentures insertion.
