Furthermore, OHRQOL instruments vary widely in terms of the number of questions items , and format of questions and responses. Ten OHRQOL instruments that have been thoroughly tested to assess their psychometric properties such as reliability, validity, and responsiveness were presented at the First International Conference on measuring oral health.
Most studies that evaluate changes in the oral health status of individual subjects and populations have been based on the clinical indicators of disease; there are relatively few evaluation studies on health and welfare from the subject's perception.
Several methods have been developed to minimize the complexity and social and cultural relative aspects of QOL as well as to provide indexes capable to capture data beyond the biological and pathological disease process. In general, health-related QOL can be determined by two approaches: The first includes an interpretative and qualitative explanatory method and the second, which is the most common approach is usually based on the questionnaires that emphasize the subject's perception on physical and psychological health and functional capacity.
The results obtained by using these instruments are usually reported as a score system, which indicates the severity of the outcome measures or oral diseases. In public health, QOL measurement is a useful tool to plan welfare policies because it is possible to determine the population needs, priority of care, and evaluation of adopted treatment strategies; thus helping in the decision making process. Educating patient about good oral health promotion and preventive care will therefore be crucial.
OHRQOL considerations can serve as a tool for bringing about these changes in the perspective of future clinician. Dental education aims at training future clinician, researchers, and administrators as well as future dental educators. It provides researchers with a chance to consider the larger perspective of how their research will ultimately serve point.
It focuses clinician on providing truly patient centered care, culturally competent and able to work from an interdisciplinary perspective. It can contribute to prioritizing the work of administrators and it can motivate dental educators by showing them the tremendous difference that their students can make in the lives of patients.
Research on QOL has gained interest and visibility in recent decades internationally. QOL assessment received heightened visibility with the release of the healthy people health promotion and disease prevention initiative.
The first healthy people initiative was started in and focused mainly on changes in disease measures. Current objectives of this initiative are to increase quality and years of healthy life and to eliminate health disparities.
Oral health needs to be defined and conceptualized and appropriate operational measures need to be brought into systematic use. More research needs to be conducted to conceptualized and measure oral health as a system contributing to total health. Mediating and independent variable influencing oral health outcomes need to be thoughtfully considered. Methodological issues such as following need to be addressed, development of outcome measure for longitudinal studies; appropriateness of measures as influenced by the passage of time, sensitivity, specificity, reliability, and validity.
Specific research recommendations that focus on social, psychological, and economic impacts of oral conditions and treatment,. Testing the sensitivity of generic health status indicators for persons with oral conditions and disorders. Exploring whether generic instruments such as sickness illness profile could be modified for use in patients with oral conditions. Addressing methodological problems as well as comparing responses to various subjective oral health indicators in the same population or patient groups.
Investigating relationships between clinical indicators of disease and subjective indicators measuring disease impact. Testing measures and indicators in populations of all ages. The OHRQOL can provide the basis for any oral health-care program and it has to be considered one of the important element of the Global oral health program.
Therefore, educating these patients about promoting good oral health and preventive care will be crucial. Research also shows that certain population segments are drastically underserved. Dental education has to make a contribution if this situation is to change. Finally, with rapidly changing knowledge base and technology in all health-care fields, interdisciplinary considerations and collaborations become increasingly important.
QOL measures are not only being used in population surveys, but also in randomized clinical trials, technology assessment in health-care and evaluation of health-care delivery systems. The perception of QOL has a subjective component and therefore varies from one culture to another. This is a necessary step because adapting models developed and validated in other cultures could lead to inaccurate measurement of OHRQOL and may not address the important issues pertaining to Indian culture.
