The impact of osteogenesis imperfecta severity on oral health-related quality of life in Spain: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) affects dental and craniofacial development; therefore, it can influence oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). The objective of this study was to explore the influence of the severity of OI on OHRQoL in adults older than eighteen years residing in Spain.

Method

Adults with OI were recruited from the Spanish Association of Crystal Bone (AHUCE) foundation. OHRQoL was evaluated using the Spanish version of the Oral Health Impact Profile questionnaire (OHIP-14sp), oral hygiene habits, and a dental care survey. Clinical and radiological dental examinations were performed to evaluate the patients' oral conditions.

Results

A total of 65 adults (n = 46 females) aged between nineteen and sixty-two years who were diagnosed with OI
