Correlation between OIDP index and periapical status: a pilot study

Aim To evaluate the correlation between the score of Oral Impacts On Daily Performances (OIDP) index and endodontic status, including periapical index (PAI), determined by analysis of orthopantomograms of corresponding patients. Methodology Digital orthopantomograms (dOPGs) (n = 61) were obtained from a private dental x-ray lab in Zagreb, Croatia. Each patient, aged from 18 to 65 years, filled a Croatian version of the OIDP questionnaire. Analysis of dOPGs was performed by two investigators using CliniView 4.1 PC diagnostic software. The following categories were determined: endodontic status, quality of endodontic treatment and PAI index. OIDP index was calculated from the questionnaire for every subject. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16.0 PC software by means of descriptive statistics and bivariate correlation analysis. Results OIDP index score correlated positively with the number of missing teeth (P < 0.05) and endodontically treated teeth (P < 0.05). A correlation was found between OIDP index score, PAI 4 and PAI 5 score (P < 0.05). Conclusions Impacts of oral conditions on daily performances are influenced by health of periapex, number of endodontically treated and missing teeth. OIDP index indicates the influence of periapical status on daily functioning of an individual.
