Resumen

BELLAMY ORTIZ, C.l.  y  MORENO ALTAMIRANO, A.. The relationship between oral health- related to quality of life, tooth loss and removable prostheses in IMSS beneficiaries adults over the age of 50. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2014, vol.30, n.4, pp.195-203. ISSN 2340-3152.

Objective: To identify the relation between oral health and quality of life (OHRQoL) in patients with tooth loss and prosthesis. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study in 533 patients of the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS), which included OHIP-14 and also clinical measures of the oral conditions, considering tooth loss and prosthetic rehabilitation. Results: The prevalence of total edentulism was of 9.9%, and the use of removable prosthesis of 35%, from which 66% were of poor quality. The mean of OHIP was of 9.83. Subjects were classified into seven groups according to two criteria: tooth loss (less than 20 teeth) and the use of removable prosthesis. The group with the worst results regarding OHRQoL was the group that did not use removable prosthesis, but required them due to having less than 20 teeth. Discussion: The use of removable prosthesis in people with less than 20 teeth improves the OHRQoL, even though the prosthetics may be of poor quality. It may be an option not to use removable dentures when the amount of teeth is more than 20, but it is necessary when people have less than 20 teeth.

Palabras clave : Oral health; quality of life; tooth loss; dental prosthesis.
