Aims: To evaluate limitations in jaw function, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and nutritional status during extensive oral rehabilitation procedures.
Material methods: Fourteen participants (mean age ±S D: 70 ± 3.8) undergoing major oral rehabilitation involving the restoration of a minimum of eight teeth were recruited in the study. Jaw function limitations scores (JFLS), oral health-impact profile (OHIP), and nutritional status were measured at different time points during, six months, and one year after the rehabilitation procedures. Nutritional status was evaluated by measuring the body weight and arm and calf muscle circumference. The effect of time points on the measured variables was evaluated with Friedman’s test. Trends in nutritional status were evaluated with linear regression analysis.
Results: The results of the analysis showed significant main effects of time points on the JLFS (p < .001) and OHIP scores (p = .005). However, there was no effect of time points on the body weight (p = .917) and calf muscle circumference (p = .424), but a significant effect on arm circumference (p = .038). Further, there was a decreasing trend for body weight (64.3%), arm (71.4%), and calf circumference (64.3%) in the majority of the patients.
Conclusion: The results of the preliminary study suggest that people undergoing extensive oral rehabilitation procedures show improvement in jaw function and an increase in OHRQoL after the rehabilitation procedure. Despite no major changes in the nutritional indicators, most patients showed a negative trend in their body weight, arm circumference, and calf circumference, suggesting that they may be susceptible to nutritional changes.
