Chronic diseases and injuries are the leading health problems in all but a few parts of the world. The rapidly changing disease patterns throughout the world are closely linked to changing lifestyles, which include diets rich in sugars, widespread use of tobacco, and increased consumption of alcohol. In addition to socio-environmental determinants, oral disease is highly related to these lifestyle factors, which are risks to most chronic diseases as well as protective factors such as appropriate exposure to fluoride and good oral hygiene. Oral diseases qualify as major public health problems owing to their high prevalence and incidence in all regions of the world, and as for all diseases, the greatest burden of oral diseases is on disadvantaged and socially marginalized populations. The severe impact in terms of pain and suffering, impairment of function and effect on quality of life must also be considered. Traditional treatment of oral diseases is extremely costly in several industrialized countries, and not feasible in most low-income and middle-income countries. The WHO Global Strategy for Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases, added to the common risk factor approach is a new strategy for managing prevention and control of oral diseases. The WHO Oral Health Programme has also strengthened its work for improved oral health globally through links with other technical programmes within the Department for Noncommunicable Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. The current oral health situation and development trends at global level are described and WHO strategies and approaches for better oral health in the 21st century are outlined.

Despite its relatively recent emergence over the past few decades, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) has important implications for the clinical practice of dentistry and dental research. OHRQoL is a multidimensional construct that includes a subjective evaluation of the individual's oral health, functional well-being, emotional well-being, expectations and satisfaction with care, and sense of self. It has wide-reaching applications in survey and clinical research. OHRQoL is an integral part of general health and well-being. In fact, it is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an important segment of the Global Oral Health Program (2003). This paper identifies the what, why, and how of OHRQoL and presents an oral health theoretical model. The relevance of OHRQoL for dental practitioners and patients in community-based dental practices is presented. Implications for health policy and related oral health disparities are also discussed. A supplemental Appendix contains a Medline and ProQuest literature search regarding OHRQoL research from 1990-2010 by discipline and research design (e.g., descriptive, longitudinal, clinical trial, etc.). The search identified 300 articles with a notable surge in OHRQoL research in pediatrics and orthodontics in recent years.

Oral Health-related Quality of Life: What, Why, How, and Future Implications

HEALTH AND DEPRIVATION: Inequality and the north

Dental health status may influence nutrition. The objective of this part of the National Diet and Nutrition Survey was to assess if there is a relationship between dental status in people 65 years and older and intake of certain nutrients and any link between dental status and blood-derived values of key nutrients. Random national samples of independently living subjects and those living in institutions had dental examinations, interviews, four-day food diaries, and blood and urine analyzed. In the sample living independently, intakes of most nutrients were lower in edentate than dentate subjects. Intake of non-starch polysaccharides, protein, calcium, non-heme iron, niacin, and vitamin C was significantly lower in edentate subjects. People with 21 or more teeth consumed more of most nutrients, particularly of non-starch polysaccharide. This relationship in intake was not apparent in the hematological analysis. Plasma ascorbate and plasma retinol were the only analytes significantly associated with dental status.

–Objective: The objective was to assess the prevalence, in a British population aged 65 years and older, of oral health related impacts and the effects they had on the quality of daily life and in particular on eating. Methods: 753 free living and 202 institutionalised subjects aged 65 years and over, participating in the oral health survey of the British National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS), had a dental examination and interview. Data on the impact of dental and oral disorders on the activities of daily living based upon the modified Oral Impacts on Daily Performance (OIDP) indicator were collected. Results: 17% of the free living edentate participants reported that their mouth affected their pattern of daily living on a regular basis. Oral impacts levels were lowest in dentate subjects with the greatest number of teeth. For the dentate, the most common oral impacts were on eating and speaking. Impacts relating to emotional stability, sleeping, relaxing, carrying out physical activity and social contact were very infrequent, but were severe when they did occur. Among those with an impact on eating, 25% said it was severe and 42% had the impact nearly every day or in a spell of 3 or more months. Oral impacts were more prevalent among the institution sample, particularly the dentate. The impacts were associated with the inability or difficulty to eat a range of 16 common foods. Conclusion: This survey has shown that the oral status of older people fairly frequently affects the quality of life of older people, and in particular, the ability to eat several common types of foods.

Prevalence of impacts of dental and oral disorders and their effects on eating among older people; a national survey in Great Britain

Objectives. To assess how the dental status of older people's mouths affected their stated ability to eat common foods. Design. Cross sectional study. Subjects. Survey was part of the oral health component of the nationwide British National Diet and Nutrition Survey: people aged 65 years and older. Two separate representative samples aged 65 and over: a free-living and an institutional sample. 881 free-living and 275 institution subjects had a dental exam and were interviewed about ability to eat key foods. Results. Significant percentages of free-living people had difficulty or could not eat at least 4 of 16 foods, and about 1 in 5 dentate stated they had difficulty eating or could not eat raw carrots, apples, well-done steak or nuts. More of the edentate subjects stated that they had difficulty eating than the dentate. Perceived chewing ability increased with increasing numbers of natural teeth and pairs of opposing posterior teeth. Subjects reporting a sociodental impact were more likely to consider that they were unable to eat foods that required more chewing. Associations remained valid after correction for the effects of age, sex, social class and denture wearing status and region. Perceived dryness did not affect significantly the stated ease of eating most foods. There were more dietary restrictions reported by the institution sample. Some foods, such as nuts, apples and raw carrots could not be eaten easily by over half of edentate people in the institution sample. Conclusions. The stated selection of foods are substantially affected by numbers of teeth and occluding pairs of posterior teeth and presence of full dentures in significant percentages of older people.
