Abstract
El enfoque actual del concepto de salud, que incluye entre sus metas el apropiado funcionamiento y bienestar de los pacientes, conduce a los clínicos a medir la efectividad del tratamiento y a evaluar el impacto de la terapia en el receptor. En nuestro campo, es esencial que los odontólogos comprendamos el concepto de “Calidad de vida asociada a la salud oral” (‘Oral health-related quality of life: OHRQoL’) y que conozcamos los instrumentos psicométricos diseñados para valorarla. El manejo de estas medidas de OHRQoL permitirá integrarlas sistemáticamente en ensayos clínicos y programas de salud para evaluar la satisfacción del paciente. Por tanto, los principales objetivos de este trabajo fueron: 1) comprender y aplicar la base psicométrica y psicofísica de los instrumentos de medida de OHRQoL, 2) validar un cuestionario específico para portadores de prótesis sobre implantes cementadas, y finalmente, 3) desarrollar un nuevo cuestionario, corto y específico para evaluar la “Calidad de vida asociada a la estética oral” (‘Oral aesthetic-related quality of life: OARQoL’). ‘OARQoL’ es un concepto original de esta investigación propuesto para incluir los parámetros estéticos en pacientes edéntulos...
The modern approach to health that includes the patient’s appropriate functioning and well-being comprises the use of patient-based outcomes for measuring both the effectiveness and the impact of the therapy. Therefore, there is a growing interest for understanding the concept of Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and the psychometric instruments designed to assess patient satisfaction. Knowledge of these scales of OHRQoL will facilitate their systematic integration in clinical trials and health programs to evaluate the impact of oral rehabilitations in the OHRQoL. Thus, the main objectives of this investigation were: 1) to understand and manage the psychometric and psychophysical bases of generic OHRQoL measuring instruments; 2) to accomplish the validation process of a specific index for cemented implant-prosthesis wearers; and, finally, 3) to develop a new, short, specific scale for assessing the Oral aesthetic-related quality of life (OARQoL), as an original concept to be considered in edentulous patients who wear dental restorations...
